    the problem with the loud exhausts as i see it, on the start say, you cant hear your own fuckin bike over the shitty loud ones, which puts me off getting a quiet muffler (mine is stock).

    we tested bikes on the dyno, got the bike down to 94db and lost .75 of a horsepower, and we could not notice on the track,

    Not when he was riding those old suzukis at the 96 supercross nats, he was what made us think loud is fast haha

    Its good to see things are changing though cause it sucks runnin out of places to ride...

    Its good to hear that noisey bikes are sounding out of flavour with everyone. OK i have a quiet as WR250 but if all bikes were that quiet we would definately not have noise issues.

    Well I just fitted a FMF "shorty" on my cr125 the other day and it is quieter now and sounds a shit load better it barks now rather than whines

    EVERYONE said it would make my bike louder and sound like shit ha

    Nothing worse than trying to talk over a shitty loud slow bike pure lack of care for both bike and others around them leads to it
    Even on the old ones if you dont race serious and you wanna just go do the odd club day and smoke everyone on a big old 5hundy it great and if you get beaten you have a handful of excuses

    if your bike got queiter with a shorty muffler, i imagine the old muffler had not been repacked in a very long time,

    God yes! Must've been loud stock mate! I've got a pro circuit shorty on my CR and it's too loud for my liking aye. Might have to go back to stock on that one.
