I’d argue that in order for it to sound good, it shouldn’t be deafeningly loud. You need to be able to hear it some, but not enough that people 2 blocks down from you can hear.
Agreed. Mine still had the catalytic converter and everything. Just replaced the stock muffler with Thrush mufflers, and ran dual exhaust from the cat back.
Absolutely, I love moding my bikes for a good throaty induction snarl, high compression saw tooth like exhaust gases, even the cam timing can get touched on for the sound I’m looking for.
Overly large diameter silencers/mufflers drown everything I love about engine sounds, it’s just the same loud drone at idle, part throttle or wide open, nasty.
Who on this thread hears a lexus LFA and just gets down right jealous?
but yeah a stock 1.5 ltr honda with a 4 inch exhaust is um… shit, car guys make up words that are kinder, like “it’s a little boomy on the highway” but it’s just shit in your ears.
