loudest can?

[jans1971]

iv got a new scorpion can for my sv . with the baffells out is loud but a work mate who had a leo vince can with the baffells seemed a lot louder . is there a lot of differance between the cans you can get

[Sosha]

Mine can set car alarms off.....

[thor]

Just get an old one with all the packing shot out.

[jans1971]

so what can have you got sosha

I'm not too keen on overly loud cans, I like a balance of the two, but prefer exhaust note over loudness anyday.

I took the baffles outta my CCC can the other day.
They were tiny little things the size of egg-cups, I was really surprised.
They wern't the regular long baffles with holes in, just very tiny wee things, like egg-cups, anyone elses CCC baffles like that?
My bike was never LOUD, and even with the baffles out, it still isn't LOUD, it just sounds deeper and you can feel it through your chest.

[Jackie_Black]

My fuel can even with the baffles in is loud and seems to get louder the more i run it!!

If you want a seriously loud can go for and M4. They are made in U.S.A. and are seriously loud!!

[ianofbhills]

agree with above. m4 are loud but still sound great

[SV650Racer]

On the DB scale they arent!. My racebike with full M4 system is 98db's!!!. Was surprised by that.

The loudest can on an SV i have ever heard was a Yoshimura RS3. I think he got pulled off track at Brands as it was that loud!

Ian - hope the bikes still good!. Mine sold and off to its new home tommorow....will miss it...

[ianofbhills]

how is the bike tested for the noise levels sarah?

i want to do some track time on an english track but i'm put off by the stringent noise restrictions and my noisy m4.

[SV650Racer]

Static noise test to ACU rules. 5500rpm.

Your exhaust will be fine. Plenty of minitwinners out there with them and i dont know of a single one thats been over the 105db limit.

[Jdubya]

The loudest can on an SV I've heard was the stubby Stu had on his sv...

[kwak zzr]

lissa and pete's stubby on their sv:) ART cans are loud but its finding one now.

[Luckypants]

I like quality of sound over volume. Pete and Lissa's can is loud and crackly, which I like. Stu's is too loud and hard edged for my taste. Stu's short pipe affair is probably the loudest SV I ever heard!

For the best sound, my twin Renegades were the best, but then I'm biased.



note to self: Get some noise makers on the VFR!

Well, if you end up buying a curvy, Daz, we have a stainless ART can sitting in the spare room;)

[northwind]

ART are irrationally loud, it's like they've got little speakers in or something :D Stu's Akrapvic non-silencer is probably louder, but I'm not sure it counts.

[Lissa]

Our ART can was definitely loud, but it had a nice tone to it too. The stubby is louder though, and I like the sound of it.:)

[the_lone_wolf]

loudest production "road legal" pipe, but with baffles out? i'd suspect the scorpion street extreme would be up there, it's straight through from where you cut the pipe, only the tubing for the last 9 inches is holed and outside it there's a token effort at some packing. it's louder than an SV with a micron full system and a TL with twin race cans, both non-road-legal but full sized cans

i guess each to their own with the quality over quntity argument, i like the raw growl of the shorter can but i can also appreciate the woofle that some cans give.

any audiophiles here? perhaps a noise meter at the next AR? i'll put the street extreme in for a bid to win the road legal catagory;)

Really, 98db's? Thats what I have on my racebike too. Maybe its an illusion. It is just such a deep resinateing noise.

Dont care how loud it is really..... Sounds MINT!!! :p

ART cans are loud but its finding one now.

A local business to me still has thousands of ART cans and link pipes for nearly every bike going....I nearly bought one for the SV, he bought ALL of ARTs stocks when they went bust and the rights to the name and making equipment as he plans to continue manafacturing when he runs out of stock.


note to self: Get some noise makers on the VFR!

There is a VFR at Claycross Powersports with twin acropovics :o[-o< you need some:smt045

On another note I have a titanium blueflame with twinports and with both baffles out it is stupidly loud......wether it is coincidence or not but house alarms down my road kept going off when I first put it on, it now has the main baffle in and the small one out which is much less harsh, still sets off eve factory car alarms on overrun.

[Luckypants]

There is a VFR at Claycross Powersports with twin acropovics :o[-o< you need some:smt045Need photos! Is the bike for sale? Any chance you can find out about the exhausts next time you are in? I am told Akropovic do not do a system for the VFR.

Its for sale in the shop, its been in there for a while and is probably on their website. I will take a look now.

[thor]

If you want a full system I would recommend Hindle cans.

[G]

I was mistaken, they are scorpian cans:( feel bad for getting your hopes up then.

However take a look on this spanish site 545Euro = £400ish BARGAIN

Ahhh right I see, I did'nt know if they perhaps had a similar fitting.

Shame Akrapovic dont want a test mule to fit one on.

[Smudge]

try Beowulf performance products there a british family company and give a lifetime guarantee but i wouldn't recommend putting a carbon can on an SV as the power pulses can rattle them to bits
