I finally got some extra $$ and I bought a MJS midpipe. Well what can I say other than it's loud. It sounds good and idle and in the low and high rpm ranges but in the mid rpm like 4-7k range it doesn't sound all the good to me. Very raspy and has an odd tine to it. Granite I still have the stock muffle on it right now. I'm waiting for my A&R motorsport baffle kit to show up still. I'm hoping the baffle tame the raspiness and help with the tone a lot and maybe just maybe quiet it down a tad. Well anyways here's a picture.

Well I got my A&R baffle kit the other day and installed it over the weekend. Got say it was quite a task to cut the old baffle out and took some serious strength to put the end cap back on but I got it done. I'll be honest the bike is friggen loud but oh how awesome it sounds. The bike sounds like a serious race bike now. The baffle kit took away the raspiness the stock can had. It sounds like a completely different bike now. It has a nice throaty idle and when you take off from a stop it has this deep rumble that sounds bad ass but cruising on city streets it is pretty loud. I found cruising around 53-55mph in 6th gear the exhaust quiets down a tad. Personally the noise level does not bother me at all (rode a Harley for 16 years with straight pipes on it) but I am a little worried about the new California noise law. I think I'm going to try and make some type of db killer or something to help cut the noise a bit. I was thinking about making some type of slanted ring to try and divert more of the sound in to the baffle packing but not sure how I would do it yet. Need to do some deep thinking about it.
If I can figure out how to record and post the sound I will.

Looking good! Is that the stainless version? There's a black thing hanging down from the frame just above the midpipe and just to the right of the brake pedal. Can you tell me what that is?

Hi there wjcbsr. The thing hanging down is the o2 sensor wire. Yes it is the stainless steel pipe. The quality of the pipe is very nice. I would definitely recommend this pipe. |
