Anyone else on here got the Latus exhaust? Just wondering what yalls thoughts were on it. Ive installed quite a few other pipes on my buddies XB's but nothing seems to have the sound or the power of my Latus. I lucked out and it was on the bike when i got it from the dealer. I dont really know where this post is going, haha it just seems like its worth talking about.

Mine - Too loud!
Hurt my ears.- Had to wear ear plugs.
Set off car alarms.

I made some baffles for it.
Fine now.

Well im young, thats exactly what i go for. Setting off car alarms is like an award for me. Where i live is really biker friendly, so the cops dont hassle me at all about being too loud. Plus I worked at Hd ATL and used to sell the motor-cops The loudest pipes we could get them on their patrol bikes. Also i have a 02 sporty with striaght joker pipes that will litterally make your ears almost bleed. So i dont really consider my buell loud compared to what im used to.

No they cannot still be Purchased. For Edelbrock stopped making the muffler that the Latus was made out of. Once in a while you can find the Edelbrock muffler on EBay and can mod it to fit your bike. As for buying them straight from the dealer nope not available anymore.

I run a Latus and while it is loud, it is not straight pipe loud. I love the sound. Its deep and sounds clean. I had multiple versions of a hack pipe before this and it sounded ratty. The latus is not that way at all. Its my favorite sound for a buell. The closest sound Ive heard to a latus is the drummer.

Old Man, I hear ya. I actually made baffles simmilar to the way you did. I found it in your old posts. BTW..Thanks! For long rides I drop them in. The sound is pretty similar but in my helmet it is less harsh.

I have a latus on my xb9 and it is one of the best mufflers for the 9. It makes gobs of power and I have left many modded 12's behind with it. The 9's get a bad rap but in my experiences it is a much smoother and quicker bike. It's very easy to make 12 power numbers with it.
