Author Message   Fireguy10 Posted on Thursday, January 13, 2011 - 08:28 pm:        I have a 2003 Bolt. My question is i have a Race Muffler on there now. It was on there when i bought it. Should i get rid of it and get a drummer or just keep it? I am not a racer i am just looking for a nice sound.   Froggy Posted on Thursday, January 13, 2011 - 08:37 pm:        Does it sound nice already? Drummer is a little deeper, but still the pretty much the same sound.   Fireguy10 Posted on Thursday, January 13, 2011 - 08:39 pm:        Yeah it has a nice sound just didn't know if the drummer was a little deeper.   Terrys1980 Posted on Friday, January 14, 2011 - 08:54 am:        With $$ you could get for the race can on ebay, you could buy 2 drummers   Andymnelson Posted on Friday, January 14, 2011 - 10:38 am:        Personally, I like the sounds of my race muffler...it's just right. I have it on my '03 XB9S, and a SS Drummer on my '06 Uly. I know the SS muffler will sound different from a standard Drummer, but I prefer the Race Can in sound level and sound quality. It's all opinion tho... If you have not yet done so, have a look through American Sport Bike's exhaust shootout: http://www.americansportbike.com/XB_Exhaust_Shooto ut_Test_Report.zip There's all kinds of info in there. Some fact from the tests: Weight: Race Can: 10.5 # Drummer: 11 # Peak sound level: Race Can: 120 db Drummer: 122 db (remember, a 3 decibel increase is double the sound level...so 2 db is significant) Peak HP (peak is certainly not everything, but it's what we have!): Race Can: 89.35 HP Drummer: 89.87 HP Peak Torque: Race Can: 70.76 TQ Drummer: 70.17 TQ Audio samples, also from the shootout:   Andymnelson Posted on Friday, January 14, 2011 - 10:47 am:        Personally, I like the sounds of my race muffler...it's just right.
