After posting a thread on this issue before.
People Hate me!!
A friend of mine took my bike up the road by his house in west harbour after staedily accelerating to 50kmph, MAKING A HUUGE amount of noise. His neighbours ran out threating to ring the police as we where "hooning" and racing.:spanking::mad:
haha
We prob maybe hit 60kmph once in the road which is about a 1km long.:banana:

The prob is my ultra loud exhaust again ive never heard anything as loud as mine and i realise it so much more when im not riding it and someone else is.

And one who does silencers for after market cans. Or has 2 standard hornet slip on's i can fit please PM me. serious this thing is louder than my mates zxr with no pipes. reeeaally anoying. or any pipes that look good and arnt loud please let me no cheers.

Haha my old two fiddy was like that.

Sounded cool so long as you were idling or below 3500rpm. Otherwise it started sounding like an obnoxiously loud scooter lol.

It got that MEEEEEEEEEEEEEHHHHHHHHH sound only 50 times louder.

Sounded awesome when you went through the gears quickly redlining it.

Not only will you annoy your neighbours but potentially you will also damage your hearing perhaps permanently by the sounds you are describing. I suspect you may even get a headache when you ride anywhere for any length of time. Been there and done that.

Nothing wrong with loud pipes mind. But there is loud and there is LOUD. It's all a question of perspective and in some instances tolerance levels of those around you who you may at some time in the future need to ask a favour of. Good luck with getting it sorted.

Custom Chambers will make you up a set of pipes. Failing that take a trip down to a scrap yard and see what you can come up with.

Hey you're the guy who passes me on the NW motorway every morning! The bike sounds great dude, would be a shame to 'debark' it!
Bloody neighbours eh...

If folks don't know you are coming and they are running out into the streets to wave their fists at you - IT'S TOO LOUD.

Though I would agree that it would be a shame to spoil a beautiful sound.

I guess you just need a volume control for it.

Surely if u can get a warrant, it's not too loud? I just fitted a yoshi pipe to my babyblade and it burbles niceley at lower revs but it wails like a crucified tiger between 8-18000rpm!, a lil more pep too but it may just be a percieved power increase cos the sound is so exciting. ;) Noise is good, but it's a matter of perspective eh? If its a quiet street, it doesnt make much sense to disturb the peace more than neccessary
