How loud will it be???
Hello All
Finally got the money to afford a new zorst. Once the bike comes back from garage (following major off repairs) I am fitting a Scorpion Street Extreme stainless. One question, just how loud will it be with the baffle in? I only ask as some posts on here state it is stupidly loud and you can expect complaints....... I am not the kind of person who really cares much about the neighgbours, but, I don't want to annoy anyone too much. What do peeps think, will it be too loud, or is it fine so long as you are easy on the throttle? Drew

Re: How loud will it be???
like just about all aftermarket can's, it'll be loud compared to the standard one, but as long as you don't take the pi** rev wise you should be fine.
Cheers Mark.

Sound bite here.
http://forums.sv650.org/showthread.php?t=104377 Just be sensible, start the bike up and then potter off. Don't hang around warming it up at fast idle. That may well annoy folk. |

Re: How loud will it be???
Well, to be fair, both of those cans don't have baffles, but I sit above the Stubby all day long and just love the sound. Especially when we're cranked over on a right-hander and the noise is bouncing back up off the road at me
No earplugs for me

however, i have left at 4/5am occasionally and not received complaints, i warned the immediate neighbours and apologised in advanced so they knew to keep the windows on that side of the house shut that night, slipped the baffle in, and it's perfectly sociable like that ironically it's louder at idle with the baffle, making more of a chu chu chu sound instead of bu bu bu, but once you open the throttle without the baffle it "unleashes the beast" so to speak so in short, with the baffle in you're not going to be making enemies, without it just don't take the mick and rev the nuts off it before you leave for work at 6am and you'll be fine... btw, good choice of exhaust
