er, i dont have a baffle for it but it's pretty loud..

Heres a short clip; http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=o_SXj2lpLnQ

Phone wouldn't let me record any longer, its awful.

sounds quite beefy

cheers

I bought a delkevic 350mm stubby the other day £119.99. Sounds absolutely fantastic with the baffle in. Much louder than standard. V twins are louder than in line fours, so i'll probably not take the baffle out, as my gixxer 1000 is about the same noise level with the baffle removed! Looks like good build quality and fitted perfectly,

^ twins are louder close up but not when on the move

Twins roar, 4's whine. I prefer a roar to a whine any time.

That GSX1400 mentioned earlier, didn't whine. It sort of caused a minor earthquake. Ear splitting roar combined with ground shaking rumble.

But your typical sports 600 does sound rather whiny.

Theres a difference between "Loud" and "sounding nice" though.

I've heard some quietish cans that sound lovely, have a really nice tone etc, and I've heard some cans that were just horribly horribly loud and to my ears sounded bl**dy awful.

I always liked the sound of the blueflame can my curvey SV had on it, I wasnt to enamoured with the build quality though.

Liz had a Viper IIRC can on her curvey that sounded similar, she has a remus on her pointy that I l also like the sound of.

Best thing to do is get yourself off to a SV meet / rideout once the weather sorts itself out, have a wander round and listen to the different makes of cans and see which one you like the sound of best.

I love the sound mine makes, akrapovic headers with a scorpion (race only) silencer, <105dB but ear splittingly loud at full chat (enough to regularly get re-noise tested from the drive through). Sounds really nice though.

I wouldn't have it on the road though, too loud, I prefer the stealth aproach.
