Author Message   1125rcya Posted on Wednesday, June 29, 2011 - 09:59 am:        I just sold my jardine RT5..I want to buy a new exhaust and I was looking into the Keda RT3, but I don't want an exhaust louder than the jardine! Just need some real views on how you would do the sound comparison on the two exhaust. Yes I'm considering the barkers as well, but the Keda is sexy on the 1125!   Mcrbuelligan Posted on Wednesday, June 29, 2011 - 11:02 am:        aph are a grand choice - and your not really going to get a quite exhaust due to the engine noise and its a v-twin http://www.aph-performance-engineering.com/   Gasteward Posted on Wednesday, June 29, 2011 - 11:16 am:        I replaced an RT5 with a Barkers and silent insert - a world of difference. The bike ran much better, with more torque and HP and that raspy loud RT5 noise is now a low, deep rumble that sounds like power - without the ear pain.}   1125rcya Posted on Wednesday, June 29, 2011 - 12:24 pm:        Thanks gasteward.. Kinda the road I'm heading down, but still would like to hear from someone that went frame a jardine to a Keda!   Nitto12ss Posted on Wednesday, June 29, 2011 - 12:34 pm:        No Jardine for me but, I have a Keda RT-2 and it is LOUD. It sound amazing , looks amazing, and performs great, but at idle it was easily the loudest bike at my last track day. Once on the pipe though its not much louder than some of the other bikes but for some reason it is a beast at idle. FYI according to Dean the RT-3 is the loudest of his pipes.   Sl33py Posted on Wednesday, June 29, 2011 - 12:59 pm:        The exhaust shootout from American Sport Bike has some DB levels if you want to compare them on paper: Muffler - Idle - 2k - 5k Stock - 88db - 91.8db - 99db Jardine - 95.7 - 99 - 110.6 Keda RT3 - 98.5 - 99.5 - 112.5 It's worth a look if you want to see all the info he compiled - plus sound clips to compare side by side. Very cool.   Sl33py Posted on Wednesday, June 29, 2011 - 01:01 pm:        basically it looks like w/o the db killer insert the Keda is louder than the Jardine. Here's the link for the shootout: http://www.americansportbike.com/Exhaust_Shootout. html GL!   1125rcya Posted on Wednesday, June 29, 2011 - 01:02 pm:        Thanks! I remember there was a db page as well but didn't see it there at American sports bike only found the audio clip!   Sl33py Posted on Wednesday, June 29, 2011 - 01:06 pm:        Cool. FYI the barker is : 98.2 - 99.5 - 107.9 to compare. looks like it may be louder at idle, same at 2k, and less at 5k.   1125rcya Posted on Wednesday, June 29, 2011 - 02:03 pm:        Anyone know the db's with the quite core (barkers) that still seems loud... I'm sick of announcing my where snouts to police! Uh   Froggy Posted on Wednesday, June 29, 2011 - 02:14 pm:        quote: I'm sick of announcing my where snouts to police! Uh KEDA MT-1. Nice sound, not loud at all. Stealth is great.   D_adams Posted on Wednesday, June 29, 2011 - 03:04 pm:        Working on your MT-1 tonight Frank. :-)
