What sounds better?

Post by Tony M »

Baffles removed from standard exhaust or new lightweight expensive slip ons?
Weight is not an issue, as I am , quite large........and heavy!

I've tried many exhausts on a storm, and a good quality set of unbaffled cans will always sound the nuts. better than debaffled oem, but as a no cost option, the debaffled oems make a lot of sense, and still sound loads better than standard.... :thumbup:

Standard exhausts make good crash pads and you can still carry a pillion and/or luggage. Only you can decide what is best for you. Do you want high, mid or low mounted end cans and do you want Ti, Carbon or SS/Alloy.

I hear the Supercharger in a Typhoon is better than the Atom but who's pulling it's strings. It maybe only be another molecule, but split the Atom and things go nuclear :lol:

Question is far too open to get a sensible answer here.
Some slip ons just make you quiver, MIGs are still my favourite followed by Remus as both give massive thwobs, if you know what I mean. Others are far too tinny.
I personally like the sound of the standard cans a lot.

i have a 1200 bandit for 6 weeks and it had a MTC ( "Maximum torque cans: i think) that sounded absolutely awesome, i hated the bike though.
The Atom supercharger is amazing but like a squealing animal in distress. you can't really here the exhaust at its right at the back, most people do get to hear it though. On another note, I've removed the Carbon cans on the CBF and out the originals back on, they are so quiet.

I can confirm though thats far more dangerous when filtering, we have had so many huge traffic delays lately due to the 303, M271, M27 and the A34 all having major accidents and the filtering has been hard work and nobody hears you cutting through. I may get another set of cans yet. I have some link pipes but no other end cans. i need 54mm??? I had quills on but they were shite

Sound quality is a bit poo as it's off me phone...

These cans will be up for sale soon...Checked on the MTC website & they are over £300 new, I'm asuming these are the 'Race' vervision as they have no baffles...Stainless Oval Race...£340 !

There are a few light surface scratches but nowt major that wont polish out...

after riding a few storms with standard cans in scotland im starting to like the sound of them..

but a set of quills when you are down shifting into a roundabout at 7k with the pops and bangs gives me major wood lol
the older i get,the faster i was :lol:
