Street Extreme, to loud?

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

Yes

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

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

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

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

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
