nice ,what's the newest flash your talking about | ||
| Barker |
I forget the number but its the last one. I think it came out last month. | ||
| Icontender |
That's nice, what does it do to the air/fuel ratio though? | ||

You ain't going to sneak up on anyone.  | ||

me likey! | ||

Its hard to convey how LOUD this thing is. IMHO, too loud. We had to use a special audio recording system to capture the sound with out distortion. | ||

That sounds super Barker. The bike bark's man in your name . Do the quiet inserts muffle it too much? I love being loud for the reason that if they hear you they might not hit you. Nice pipe. | ||

When Barker and I were at the track Saturday, I got an opportunity to listen to his bike lapping with the stock exhaust. It sounded damn sweet to me. Not loud, but it had a nice deep growl to it. I never say never, but I think this might be a stock pipe I keep. | ||

hey Barker it was good seeing you yesterday. Man your bike sounds good! i think Tom was a little jealous! lol  TB | ||
| Ds_tiger |
looks cool! Thanks for the effort here- you looked completely professional, you may have missed your calling as a news anchorman! Cheers-  | ||
| Barker |
Where do think I got my start? If I had a nickel for every time I said "um", that vidja would be worth $1.65. | ||
| Vicfirebolt |
um. I didn't notice the um's hmmm. In regard's to the common thought that loud pipes save lives theory. That was a decent read I guess but from experience I still disagree. I live in Daytona Beach Florida and there are so many older people driving on the roads here I have noticed a number of times when I had my Firebolt with a D&D pipe on it. I think it made people aware I was there when in blind spots for a brief moment or if they were considering a lane change. You can't hear a loud color that theory only works if your being looked at. This is a whole different debate altogether though Barkers pipe sounds nice. I still want too know what it sounds like with the inserts in it? Still too loud? | ||

My stock Blast is small and quieter than a mouse, yet I can't recall the last time I had a cager invade or attempt to invade my space. I don't ride like I am invisible, I ride like I don't give a damn if I'm hit. Barker, that thing must be loud, as I had to turn up the volume to hear you speak, then turn it back down to no go deaf when you fired it up. I can't wait to hear one in person. | ||
| Vicfirebolt |
Well froggy you better hope no one does try too invade that blast's space because it won't be able to get out of the way if they do. I ride on some very populated roads and it's not frequent that I have a close call. I'm simply saying every bit that helps you be heard and seen is good. I stand behind my opinion on this. . | ||

Barker Great vid, still on the fence, it sounds awesome but how loud is it. do you think its louder then the D&D on my 12S? Just trying to compair it to something else. | ||
| Froggy |
The brakes worked fantastic last time I tried them, almost as good as the brakes on my 1125's | ||
| Americanmadexb |
Damn thats sounds great! | ||
| Reducati |
damn it, you just made me order the fmf  | ||
| Socoken |
Sounds a lot like my HMF but maybe a bit louder, hard to tell. Nice vid! | ||
| Cringblast |
Got the FMF installed on the CR with insert facing midpipe, sounds great. Used a Radio Shack sound level meter about 24" from right side of bike at idle and here are the measurements. weighting A is 95db (500 to 10,00Hz)measuring range weighting C is 105db (32 to 10,00Hz) measuring range The manual says the difference in weighting is the frequency range. I am not a soundologist, sound engineer or audiologist.  C. | ||

Sounds great, I have the identical set-up as yours. | ||
| Froggy |
Did you take any sound readings with the stock pipe? | ||
| Blur |
Hey Barker that thing sounds great. Did you notice a change in the midrange torque/power? I was going to keep the stock pipe for a while but thats the first aftermarket pipe I really like the look and sound of. Where did you get it from? | ||
| Cringblast |
Did not take sound readings with the stock pipe. Could not find the meter.  C | ||

MB, what's on your schedule for Saturday PM? I'm trying to schedule some dyno time to see how many AMerican ponies the Torque Hammer will unleash. I don't have anything with that rez or audio quality. Maybe we could make a vid or two. Give me a shout. Neil S. | ||
| Barker |
I'm hoping to have a DB meter soon. Initially after the install and the new flash (AFV@ 100) it was kinda lacking but after a few miles the AFVs tick up and it runs great according to the seat of the pants dyno. CC, I'm @ Tally GP for another trackday Sat. Maybe another time we can make a vidja for the TQ hammer. | ||
| Ccryder |
Kewl, good luck at the trackday. |
