Here i'm again, i just installed my D&D Slip-On, and the results are awesome!!, specially midrange, but....Criminally loud, it's too loud for Europe ( il-legal 100% ), and always when i riding i'm afraid too find the police , so it's possible to make the D&D quieter without lost too much power | ||

D&D appears to be the loudest of all aftermarket exhausts. My suggestion to you is sell the D&D and get a V&H. A well packed V&H gives you the performance and is not criminally loud. | ||

Haven't ran it yet, but I think this may be even louder that my Race Header with D&D Race muffler... Thanks again Erick!  | ||

you could always weld a baffle in the end | ||

i have the same exhaust on my X1. Yes it is loud when you hammer down. Sell the muffler and buy a different one, like Vance & Hines or any other brand you find. I will buy it if you sell. I have a cobra i also slip on that i use for racing. So keep your header and collector and get new can | ||

tisk... tisk..... some people just dont appreciate a beautiful sound when they here it. lol.... legality is a different issue.... | ||
| Lander_x1 |
I like the sound but it too dangerous for my pocket,jaja, so may i'll mount a DB-Killer, and not hammer down a lot when i ride in town | ||

When you see the police, just pull in the clutch and let the motor idle and coast on by. Works for me here in the states  | ||

i love my d and d especially when some hood rat is on a cell phone and her windows are down. down shift and bring the rpms to about 3800. and you can see there lips. "can you hear me now???"\ I LOVe IT.... | ||
| Preybird1 |
I would love a d and d system but sadly i cannot afford one. I just up shift or like jramsey said pull the clutch. | ||
| Skntpig |
Lovedabueller...I like that move too. You don't know loud until you hear a KT pipe. Holy nascar batman and I have the baffle in it. | ||

"D&D appears to be the loudest of all aftermarket exhausts." +1 I know a lot of people claim that force is the loudest, but I've heard the two running side by side - within the last week actually - and I think the D&D has a little more volume. Mine is louder since I bumped up to 10.5:1 compression though, so on a stock engine, the force may still be louder. Both sound amazing as long as you're ok with setting off car alarms. At times I wish I had a mute button though.. like when I'm getting home from work at 6 A.M.  | ||

the idea is to mount something like that http://www.carpimoto.it/content/prod/l_EN/s_443_Ex haust_Spare_Parts/pr_27866_DB_killer_Mivv_choose_y our_silencer.htm But if i'm not wrong there is no size for the D&D | ||
| Limitedx1 |
so i guess a force pipe is out of the question for over seas.......lol | ||

if you don't like the volume of the D&D, but don't want the V&H because it requires repacking, why not get a universal fit glasspack and experiment with a cheaper muffler? I'll be using a Cherry Bomb Glasspack for my S3 build.. just got it in the mail from Jegs last week. The body of PN# 87507 is 18" long, 3.5" diameter, and an overall length of 22.5". If you measure a D&D, you'll find those figures identical after you shave 0.5" off the overall length of the Cherry bomb. The only thing missing is a clamp to hold the muffler to the rear mount and that's a pretty simple fix - especially if you order a Z bracket and clamp from D&D. I'm anxious to see how a $30 muffler works out. | ||

Phil, building a no budget bike then a budget bike. LOL | ||

Pk, the auto glasspack, on a Buell it will sound like a mid size metric cruiser with Cobra drag pipes that have non removable baffles, sorta like a asthmatic mouse farting in a tin can. | ||

^^^Good one Jramsey! Poop Poop Poop | ||
| Pkforbes87 |
"sorta like a asthmatic mouse farting in a tin can." so you're saying it will still be an improvement over stock?  That's the beauty of a $30 muffler. If the sound does make me think "rodent" then I've got an 87 civic just begging for a fart cannon. | ||

I have had most aftermarket pipes on my tuber and the KT exhaust is the loudest. Skntpig said it best above. | ||

Ive heard the d and d, its not that loud as people make it out to be, i rode my bike with the kooks system around without a helmet, oh my god i never realized how loud it was. Bring it up to 5k rpm and let off, its beautiful sounding. | ||

I came across a Bullett muffler a year or so ago on eBay. Looks like a black Cherry Bomb muffler. Haven't run it yet as I have a factory race exhaust on the bike now. Anyone know of this Bullett item? Safe ride, Gary in Oaktown | ||

I have tried the v&h carbon fiber loved the loudness, I think if you want an adjustable sound go with a super trap. I am running the super trap with the stock header and 12 disks also with an open cap. We will see on thursday when it hits the dyno!! | ||
| Lander_x1 |
a video to hear how it sounds http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ClbMzQ14oko | ||
| Pkforbes87 |
sounds good. it's hard to hear detail via youtube but it sounds like the dB silencer removes a lot of the raspy sound when the engine RPMs are dropping? | ||
| Lander_x1 |
PK it's not installed the db silencer yet |
