Street Extreme, to loud?

[Pukey]

As the title implies, am I going to get an ASBO if I fit one of these?

I note that most people who fit these rave about them but are they just the wrong side of sociable?

Cheers in advance Luke

[the_lone_wolf]

Yes

HTH

you must be getting old

you must be getting old

And fat...;)


There's a difference between quality and volume, when I had my SV I much preferred the Beowulf can over my Street Extreme for the noise it made

Of course neither compares to the cacophony of twin akras on a litre twin;)

I agree my old leo vinci had a lovely bellow and rasp, I don't find my art can has as quite a nice tone. However can't say I've noticed the art one setting off car alarms either which makes me gold with the neighbours.

I've heard the street extremes and can't remember thinking they were ridiculous, remember taking note that badgers sounded nice on a highspeed wide throttle opening though.

I liked mine better with the baffle in.
I've now decided that quieter and nice ris better than loud and horrible.
less hassle form the rozzers.
I don't believe anyone much hears you coming apart from pedestrians.
However, *everyone* will hear you going ;)

[Pukey]

Thanks for the replies,

I'm less convinced about geting one than I was now!

Are they tame enough with the baffle in?

Is there anyone around the Plymouth area with one fitted that I could listen too?

Don't get me wrong I love nothing more than an open exhaust but some times it's prudent to keep a lower profile!

Cheers Luke

[the_lone_wolf]

Are they tame enough with the baffle in?

Yes, the baffle is quite effective but it does tend to reduce the "BUM-BA-BUM-BUM-BUM" to a "CHUFF-CHA-CHUFF-CHUFF-CHUFF"

A slightly longer can will give you a deeper rounder sound, a rumble vs. the blat you get from a stubby:cool:

He's right you know. My stubby sounds cr@p with the baffle in, totally kills the noise/"sweet music". So I just leave it out and put in the ear plugs :p

Better with a normal sized un-baffled can than a baffled stubby

Aaah that would be baffle out mate , obligatory for Org runs . Most of my Street Extreme`s life is spent with the baffle in . I can start the bike up at 5 in the morning and sneak to work on part throttle .... as long as you go to work and don`t rag it , not that you would do that as you are warming the bike up as you trundle away from your abode . A work colleague has mentioned the bike sounds nice on full chat with the baffle in one day when I overtook him .

What WILL happen with the baffle out ?

I popped home one afternoon to grab something , baffle was out and I jumped back on the bike and blatted it away from my house in a hurry ............ lots of car alarms going off and flashing of indicators . It growls and snarls and backfires in a nice way when hot and on the over-run at around 40 mph , you get nice comments from other Orgers about it . The same colleague in work has also heard me going past at full chat with a BMW trying to chase me on the way to work and was jumping up and down saying "Dude ........ that was AWESOME" .

Personally , I may be slightly biased here , but NOTHING sounds like a Street Extreme , there is not one exhaust I would swap it for , in fact the only thing I would want to do with one is buy an SV1000 and bodge 2 Street Extremes onto it and see how THAT turns out ....... Muahahahahaaha :smt029

[yorkie_chris]

I don't think I've got a video of the old micron downpipes and the stubby can (with absolutely zero packing in it and loads of air leaks). It was awesome, people I overtook said that at full chat it was physically painful to hear. It would set car alarms off 300 yards behind when you trilled it off the limiter in 1st. And the rasping snarl on the overrun sounded like you were feeding bricks into a shredder.

Now I've got full M4 on a slightly modified engine (race cams, BMC R-RS filter, some other stuff) and it sounds like this.

Absolutely loads quieter but a much deeper sound and a MUCH flatter power curve. Takes a little bit of the fun out of it, because the micron + stubby really kicked you in the teeth at 6k rpm. But it has a really nice deep booming note when you wind the power on.
But I still miss the snarling antisocial stupidity of the stubby can and am resisting the urge to hack the M4 down to about 6".

Shoulda put some old-time cheesy silent movie chase music on where you sped it up lol.

9" grinder makes life loads easier.

The program wouldn`t let me add music as I had "4king Hostile" by Pantera ready for that bit . 9" Grinder had a blade that looked like a worn out hallway rug and I didn`t fancy even the teeniest snag on it as it would have wigged out and probably embedded into various cars on the road outside . The really annoying bit is that I had volume levelling switched on so they all sound the same volume .... they most certainly were not , then again , what do you expect from a microphone the size of 5 pence piece in the camcorder .

Yours has a much deeper sound. Mine is more raspy. Sounds like yours has a lot more packing in it or something. I haven't heard a street extreme without a baffle so I don't know if it is louder than mine

[xXBADGERXx]

Mine is a Titanium one , has a totally different sound from the normal Stainless Street Extreme . They don`t make the Titanium ones very often , in fact they probably don`t make them at all now , it also has a different shape on the Exit cone as well . Not sure about packing , the can seriously weighed less than a grab bag of Dorito`s crisps and I thought it wasn`t in the box when I got it .

[barwel1992]

must make a vid of mine then :D hehe

for a start mine dosent have any baffles secondly mine has this little stamp on it that says track use only (lol)

i love my renegade high level :D :D

[Pukey]

Again thanks for the replies, keep this sort coming and I'll get one!

I quite fancy a high level can but have a tail tidy and imagine that there would be a clash with the right indicator, I think the picture on this ebay link illustrates this!

Are these exhausts any good? is this a good price?

Mine is a titanium Fuel exhaust chopped in half

[xXBADGERXx]

Hi-Level ..... hmmmmmm , causes havoc when carrying packs on the back of the bike , you have to faff about with indicators , burning of pillions legs , not actually being able to carry a pillion in some cases ...... I did give it some thought and decided not to get one . What really gets me is the attention to detail they went to , real attention that makes you want to buy the exhaust ............ by hanging the right hand indicator down out of the way .

[Pukey]

2003, should have mentioned that as I am wondering if this will affect the rear footrest height to which the can bracket is attached

[Pukey]

Thanks Badger, I think I agree, they do look great though!

[xXBADGERXx]

2003, should have mentioned that as I am wondering if this will affect the rear footrest height to which the can bracket is attached

I don`t think there will be a footrest with that can in place , I cannot remember but I did look at one a year or so ago and ruled it out as I cannot take the Badgeress out for a Jollie on the bike .

[barwel1992]

well mine dosent even get hot could be because its verry free flowing (i can touch then end after a 2 hour ride and not get burnt)

my gf does complain about the ped on the right side been about 3 inch further out than the other but she can live with it lol

ps my exhast is posibly 5-10 DB quieter than no can on at all, and is verry growly

ohh and yes indicators are a pain have a look at my sh*t ones lol you can just about see them (will be doing somthing about that) no pilion pegs on in the pic

http://i357.photobucket.com/albums/oo16/barwell1992/P1030888.jpg

can take a pic with foot rest if u want to see what its like ?

Original stubby at start here.

[Pukey]

In the picture you can make out that the rear footrest is in place actually!

Sorry, when I mentioned the foot rest I was really asking if the position of its mounting bolts is different relative to the exhaust header on an 03 bike considering the difference in the rear subframe?

That video is so brilliant. Who is that dancing in it? lol

[barwel1992]

well i keep seeing exhasts that work from 03-09 and i dont know how because the 03(mine) defo has a higer rear end

[yorkie_chris]

Dissuade. Was even funnier at the time, she was peanut butter jelly jamming away and there was a car turning left into that road, see the drivers face "am I having an LSD flashback ere?"

pmsl it looks so funny

Dunno about that , my exhaust is Stubby , is Basically a hole right into the exhaust with no baffle in and you could cook your skin on contact with it , it turns all sorts of funny colours and I don`t go near it with any sort of bike cover for at least 30 minutes when I get home .

[Pukey]

Barwel, what make is yours?

[xXBADGERXx]

Barwel, what make is yours?

That looks like a Renegade one to me , they are stamped "Not for Highway" use or something like that , they are also not made anymore .

[barwel1992]

yup renegade

and badger could be somthing to do with yours been titanium ???

the link pipe gets hot but not for a fair while the headerd obviously get verry hot but the can dosent :/ strange

ps can any one direct me to some decent but cheep wadding

[DarrenSV650S]

My titanium can doesn't get hot at all. I can touch it when it's at full temp

[barwel1992]

hmm ^^^ thats intresting so can i :/

[xXBADGERXx]

Mine is probably tightly packed then and transferring heat , the link pipe goes gold and the can changes colour as well .

[barwel1992]

yeh not sure how much packing my pipe has (if any) and does it go blue ?? if so i love it when they do that my mates with MT-01 with full titanium acros go bright blue :D

[xXBADGERXx]

No the bike doesn`t produce enough heat to go Blue . The Titanium goes through various states of colouration , the first being a Straw or Gold Colour , it then will increase to a Yellow through Orange , then a Brown into a Purple Colour , then into the Violet and Blue . After that it might get a tad darker but then it lightens right up into Gray again . A few companies cheat by preheating their exhausts halfway along to give it that tempered Titanium look .

[barwel1992]

ahh i see :)

[Dave20046]

I gots a stubby high level art can on mine and love it. (aesthetically)

[Dave20046]

I'm not doing well for photos of it but you can kind of see it in the first n' last pics on this thread http://forums.sv650.org/showthread.php?t=138633

My old leo vinci system was highlevel too (not stubbied) and never had an issue indicator or pillion wise.
