    New Exhaust

    Hey people.. Got my new exhaust installed tonight.. 3 words: TOO DAMN NOISY!!

    It sounds like a thumper (like an S40 or something)..
    Will take pics tomorrow when I get home from work.. but yeah, my friend is gonna make up a silencer thingy that will get welded into the exhaust to improve back-pressure, and quieten it down a bit too..

    ..anyway, that's about it for now..

    Um, how can a bike be too noisy? When purchasing mine (equiped with a scorpian pipe), I was told it was a safety feature!

    you mean "my hearing will fade away in a few hours of riding it"?

    nah, it's my friends first bike exhaust experiment (he's made quite a few car exhaust systems), so he's gonna get this one right.. I'm gonna make him

    After work I'll stop in at Hamilton Motorcycle Centre, and see what they have to say about it (ridiculously loud / how to quieten it down a bit, etc)
