Well actually... Some years back a Brit mag (BIKE?) had access to a dyne and did some checking. Some aftermarket cans made less power than the standard item.

yip, many mistake a power surge they have to be power, rather it had detuned them through part of the rev range and they were finally breathing right... it's pretty hard to improve on a factory bike

If it's about the noise I will give the same advice I used to give the shit bags in cars. Get some ear buds and stream your noise from Spotify. That way the world doesn't get your fetish inflicted on them.

you're confusing the word sound with noise here.

That actually crossed my mind yesterday. When you are riding, the sound of the bike is likely cool. It travels with you, and matches the experience you are having on the bike.

But the people whose houses you pass only hear the noise you make as you approach, pass and ride away.

When they hear that noise multiple times, it's hard to imagine them having an appreciation of the sensory experience you are having on the bike.

i've no appreciation for their dog that barks, the plane noise as they jet off to fiji, their leafblower, the engine braking off the truck that's delivering their gimp suit set, or the rugby game crowd noise they are at either, but I don't run off to the newspapers and whinge.

The R1 came with a large box of OE parts, including the original Ti can. Comparing this with what was on the bike and another two I have acquired since, it runs best with the OE can. But it's just too quiet.

None of those are intentionally louder than they need to be – I'd suggest it's the intention involved which makes vehicle noise particularly annoying for the general public.

As a young teenager, I was as much convinced that the neighbors appreciated my loud heavy metal music every bit as much as I did, and luckily for them if they did not - they soon would with more exposure
Just as I'm equally convinced now - that the aural perfection that can only be obtained by the celestial combination of a high revving internal combustion motor, stark craggy rock faces and large expanses of natures precious h2o.
These people should be down on their knees in gratitude at the heavenly aural tones bestowed upon them by Saint Akrapovič.
Sheeeesh Some People huh

The one time I did get an ecu modified, the tech told me that most gains are made on the intake side. Not sure if he meant fuel/air or pies. Cos pies is still not working for me, yet!

Keep working at it! I believe in you! Brisket cheese and jalapeno FTW. With homemade chilli and tomato relish
