How loud is your bike

Post by popkat »

What are people going through trackday noise tests at ?, anyone been on with microns fitted ?
I'm going to Brands next month and noise limit is 102db.

Not fair really as they (noise testers) always say rev it up to 7-8000 and that's not reet as a v-twin should only be asked to rev to 3,000 :thumbup:

Powertech cans with baffles @ 96db

Art cans with no baffles @ 94db

Blue flames without baffles still passed the noise test too

Noise test at brands is held @5k for a Vtwin

Only 4000?! The drive by limit is something like 98db I think, however no one was black flagged, Just to note as well all those cans were tested on oem headers

Carbon slim oval ones.

The bike doesn't seem that loud to me but it pre dates the days of removable inserts so the only thing I can do if it fails is take the original cans with me to fit if needed, but from posts above it might just be ok. it's much quieter than my last one which had Beowulf cans.

I had a small issue with the straight through MIGs at 107 at Brands but got them down to 102 with baffles fitted.
They try hard to get you through at Brands.
Whatever revs they ask for hold it 500 below.
It's not falling off, it's an upgrade opportunity.

Not that loud. Running stds at mo but looking to change them nxt yr. Was thinking of these. Affordability and all that. Worth a buy over stds?

No connecting pipes. Looks like you would need to cut your standard pipes. And even then, would they fit?

I would personally avoid them.

Thanks Kermit. Will look for some ones with the link pipes. Thought it had them.

Louder with the scorpions on than with the Demons. Only realised when taking the Demons off that they had baffles in though
