Louder than it was 100k odd ago (both bikes)... don't think there is much packing left...

MrMarko, The lack of back pressure would have been causing the problems, an aftermarket pipe can also stuff up the fueling. The Triumph EFI is supposed to be able to "learn" new adjustments. Changing from a three into one into two standard cans with cat to a three into one carbon can with no cat is a big adjustment. No complaints about how it runs though.

Loud enough that I know it's running, and a bit louder than standard with modified factory cans, but not loud enough to wake the dead.
There does seem to be a school of thought, particularly with those on one make of motorcycle in particular, that louder is better even if it makes it run like a bag of shit.
Riding cheap crappy old bikes badly since 1987

Ha!
I know you you mean buffstar!
I have heard youtube clips of the Yoshi on our bikes (I have an Akra carbon) and it is almost unsociable amounts of loudness...........Almost
I will say one thing, cars notice me a lot more, and a lot sooner than when I had it stock, and that in of itself is worth it.
My hyosung is no way near loud enough for my taste. It's nice to not wake up the hood when I come home late but I miss my cycle works exhaust I had on my old bike. It seems to just get more buzzy than loud when I Rev the tits off it.
But it's not worth it to get a new exhaust so I am just going to put the money towards getting a restricted license.
My mates sv400 has a Yoshimura full exhaust system and that's loud as.

Well it's a 1000cc V-Twin with two fat Two Brother's exhausts on the back, so I'd say pretty bloody loud.
Loud enough that when I come home I turn off the bike at the top of the driveway and roll down to my place with the bike off - just being that little bit extra considerate for the neighbours.
Loud enough that at the traffic lights, I never hear anyone else's bike![]()
I already did that with a mates old muffler. He drilled out a baffle. It sounded ok but after a while it sounded like it was a fart can on a shitty civic. It didn't start very easily at all and the rear cylinder gets hot on them if it's not jetted properly so I put my old one on. It's much better and not a whole lot of drone on the motorway.
Very funny. The muffler mounts to a bracket on the underside of the rear seat.

My stock exhaust was "like an asthmatic ant carrying some heavy shopping", as the saying goes.
This was fucking dangerous in traffic. Seriously bad, since you would be near someone without them being aware of it. A bit like having someone on a magic carpet float up next to you.
Off to the Doctor...
A bit of gutting and welding later we have the current set-up which is beautiful. None of the harley fergusson shite sound, but a "nice" noise.
During this process there was an electronically verified reading...
Of 115 decibels.
and a person coming out of a house saying "what THE FUCK was that!!??".
