|
my 650 has the mac dual megaphone exhaust with bare baffles. sounds decent, planned on removing the baffles after i chop it or runnng drags.
previous owner installed a nut and bolt on one of the baffles and proper setup on the second baffle. made a little ticking sound, no biggie! guess not, got on it a little bit and the baffle flew right out and broke in half going about 50. hopefully mac will have my baffle here tomorrow for the weekend.
my left exhaust is insanely loud now. it is absolutley unbearable! i had some real short uncorked pipes on my old sporty and it was loud, but not even close to my unbaffled megaphone.
my question; what does a xs650 sound like with just drag pipes? will it be as loud as my megaphone? i've heard drag pipes on youtube, etc...but that is not telling my how loud it is.

Seems the smaller the engine the more pitchy (ear piercing) the report.........another catch 22 for sure.....some idiot on our street has a 450 honda with just the headers......I swear to god it will wake the dead........won't even mention the little 4's with straights....

I run open headers on mine and it is pretty loud... I'd imagine it wouldn't be much different then yours without the baffle is now...

Also I use 16ga (.065) to give a little less tin like sound you get with thiner wall tubing. They are loud but not like a Harley loud. I know what you guys are talking about with small motors sounding hi pitch like but that does not have to be, you can make them sound good.
