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!

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

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

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

But if i'm not wrong there is no size for the D&D

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.

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.

"sorta like a asthmatic mouse farting in a tin can."

so you're saying it will still be an improvement over stock? : p

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,

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!!

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?
