[bthomas]

Anyone know of any quieter and lighter exhaust than stock? Mainly quieter.

Thanks

You won't find quieter than stock. Try ear plugs.

That's what I figured. How's bout lighter? I am not sure how heavy stockers are, but my experience with other models is that they tend to be alot heavier.

Lighter = Louder

Stick with stock.

Just don't start it up. You can hardly hear it at that point.... :huh:

Stock exhaust is extremely light for oem. 10lbs per side. My Leo Vince carbon fiber cans are only a few pounds per side and barely, if at all louder than stock.

i guess you could stuff the ass end of the exhaust with cotton balls...

Wow the stock exhaust is really quiet already. Instead of considering spending $700 on a different exhaust, how about 50 cents for a pair of earplugs?

I have a set of Leo Vince cans - not the carbon fibre. they are lighter than stock and were almost as quiet at first (with the extra baffles). Over the course of 30,000 miles, they became gradually louder until I decided to put the OEM's back on. Plan to repack the LV cans but haven't gotten around to it. I'm happy with the OEM for now.

I hear the Prius and Corolla are pretty quiet.

I don't know how an after market exhaust system could be quieter that stock.

They are already as quiet as a mouse pi$$en on cotton.

That is light. I pulled the stockers off an Vulcan VN2000 one time and couldn't believe how much heavier they were then the muzzys I had planned. Thanks for the info.

WTF???? Drive an electric car instead. :blink:

I actually can't stand how quiet the stock exhaust is and you hear the motor whinning all the time which is why I got aftermarket exhaust that actually has a nice sporty note to it.

Everyone is different...I know. Too each his own.

+1 on the earplug suggestion btw.

 

[HotRodZilla]

You know what they say, "If its too loud, you're too....."

 

[wfooshee]

Um, just a thought: Did you buy your bike new? Do you know that it's the stock exhaust?

I can't think of any motorcycle around that's got quieter mufflers stock, except maybe a Gold Wing.

 

[TheZsdad]

For quieter you might try new oem mufflers. Find someone local with a newer bike and compare. Any chance your cans have been modified?

The OP asked a valid question. I joined the forum for the same reasons most people did, to gather info and meet riding buddies. When I saw the title I knew the vultures would circle and attack. Good job knuckle heads. :angry:
