#77192 DocShadow (Admin) Hmmmm .... send beer Admin Posts: 17615 Re:exhaust 4 Years, 1 Month ago   Real soup cans are too thin and it will sound 'tinny'. Try using those piece of exhaust pipe you can buy at the auto store. With various reducers you can fabricate a baffle. Make sure you have diverter in the direct line of exhaust. This will help cut down on the noise.

I will see what I can find at Crap'n'Tire tomorrow for exhaust reducers etc. I just want to cut the noise without causing any backpressure. Thanks for the advice Doc! -SM   Logged     A Fallen Man is not a failure.   The administrator has disabled public write access. #77196 SobaCracka (User) It's best to eat crow while fresh. Platinum Boarder Posts: 1948 Re:exhaust 4 Years, 1 Month ago   I remember seeing something in a bike mag (I think) about exhaust systems with on-the-fly adjustment. Something or other where a switch or maybe cable lets you go from quiet to rumbly and back. I'll nose around and see what I can find.   Logged     Earl in Catonsville, MD   The administrator has disabled public write access. #77198 SobaCracka (User) It's best to eat crow while fresh.

BB the Propipe can purr like a kitten, but if you crack it... car alarm city. I am growing to really like mine. I saw one of those electronic switch exhaust mounted on Metric revolution. Looked pretty cool. But expensive.   Logged     Last Edit: 2008/04/14 21:01 By javawave.   \\\\\\\\\\\\\\\"A mind full of judgment has little room for wisdom\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\"   The administrator has disabled public write access. #77256 StarMyram (User) STARVE to RIDE, RIDE to LIVE Gold Boarder Posts: 906 Re:exhaust 4 Years, 1 Month ago   Thanks for the info Guys. I just got back in from a quick ride, I drilled about ten 3/8" holes in each of two Campbells' soup tins and put them in the Stage 3'd stock pipes and went for a ride. It sounds pretty good actually, not too loud when cruising, and still pretty snappy when you get on it accelerating hard. I would not want it any quieter than this for sure, but it is definitely a nice deep rumble instead of an annoying roar. Now I just have to come up with something that is more "permanent and worthy" than the soup tins... that still sounds about the same level or maybe a "tad" louder than with the soup tins in there.   Logged     A Fallen Man is not a failure.   The administrator has disabled public write access. #77439 Knightman (User) West Virginia Senior Boarder Posts: 314 Re:exhaust 4 Years, 1 Month ago   I went to e-bay ...bought Cobra Slip ons..for around $70.00 check em out http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=P0cKVM_EONw   Logged       The administrator has disabled public write access. #77477 Curt (Moderator) Never to old to ride! Moderator Posts: 12511 Re:exhaust 4 Years, 1 Month ago   Pman the HK's are loud I had a set of HK K2's and I made a set of 4 baffles for them trying to get the sound I wanted. They tend to have sort of cracking sound to them that is harsh. I now have Bub Stubbies and you don't want them too they are loud. Like Doc said the stock are about as good as you can get in the noise area.   Logged     My Site Black Ice is Shiny, Black Ice is Deadly, Ya Wanna Ride My BlackIce?   The administrator has disabled public write access. #77483 Mr. Breeze (User) Senior Boarder Posts: 217 Re:exhaust 4 Years, 1 Month ago   I recently put on the HK's. They are loud, but I idled away from a friends on Sunday morning and he didn't even knew that I had left. They can definitely set off car alarms, however if you take your time and gear down, they are quiet enough to make a semi-quiet getaway from the neighborhood. With that said, I also took a 1200 mile 3 day road trip, and I can see where a set of duals would be nice to have. The steady 'helicopter' at cruise speed does leave your right ear a little dull for a while after shutting down. MB   Logged       The administrator has disabled public write access.
