Look around on this and the buelletinboard.com site. Lots of exhaust ideas are posted.

I typically shift at about 2000 RPM. Its nice and not loud, even with the Micron.

Haha, not a stupid question Ben...just the wrong crowd to ask! Most of us spend our days trying to make our bikes louder : )

My friend wanted to quiet down his mustang saw these made by dynatech.. They're kinda expensive..


He went to Walmart bought a Cheapy stainless Colander and made 2 with some tin snips and a hammer..


Pretty easy insert for a stock muffler tip

Good Luck and Welcome...

stick some steel wool, or go to the local machine shop and ask if they have any stainless turning scrap around the lathe then insert steel wool and pack it in with a long stick.

Most of the noise you hear while actually on the bike is engine noise, not exhaust. It really isn't as loud away from the bike as you think it is.
