Silencer Recommendations Sought.

[zanelad]

I am thinking about changing the standard silencers on my Firestorm for something a little more fruity and I am seeking advice from forum members as to what cans to buy.

I don't want anything too loud, my MOT tester turns a blind eye (or should that be ear) to pipes provided they're not stupidly loud. However, the bike is kept in a garage a little way from home and I don't want to p*ss of the people who live close to the garage as they keep an eye on the garage for me. They won;t appreciate being woken up early on a Sunday morning.

Metal finish please, not carbon and nothing too short as I don't like the look of stubby cans.

Ones that fit easily with no modifications would be best as well.

Finding something to suit should be easy

Any recommendations please?

See what's available in the sales & wants / fleabay etc - Have a search on here for opinions or utube for chance of a sound clip. But its like choosing a musical instrument so you might want to try hearing different makes in person and the best way is to get along to one of the many VTR meet-ups this summer (don't forget to bring your earplugs ;-) . P.S. Beware of seemingly glitzy chinese gear that can be of poor quality.

Have you considered performing a bafflectomy?

+1 to what Wicky said.

If you're going to either the workshop day or the Yorkshire run next month, ask around while you're there and listen to different peoples' bikes. Videos online never do the exhausts any justice.

I've seen a couple in the for sale, but as a new boy I cannot do anything until my post count is sufficient.

I want to keep the original cans, original should I ever decide to sell the bike, Unlikely as the V twin thing is getting to me.

I like that analogy.

All cans will do the job sweetly. Just avoid the Art cans & probably the stubby Delcavics.

once i receive a large box from the pineapple emporium ….. ……...i should have a set of low level Viper oval aluminium pipes up for sale. They come with link pipes, straps and with dB killers that you can fit to take the noise down.

I will work out a price if you are interested

I am interested, price depending of course.

looking for 120 plus postage if you are interested.




i don't like polished ally so i have them flatted down to a matt effect using a plastic scouring pad, they should also polish up if you have the elbow grease to do it. they won't come with the carbon straps, i am keeping them, they will come with the standard stainless steel ones, but you will need to get new rubber liners for them as I cut them up to fit under the carbon straps

I’m running 350mm (14”) Delkavics. They’re oval CF but also come in SS.
They sound good to me and the quality is spot on.

They look nice,a couple of questions please:-

How noisy are they, baffles in and out please?

When will they be available?

What is the circumference of the cans please. So I can order some straps if we agree terms.

How about £120 delivered, well, you've got to ask....

Thanks, Clive.

Clive,
nice try, but they are already a bargain and there is another member also interested, so still 120 PLUS post [or you can collect].

how loud? they are race cans so you would never call them quiet, but I run them without baffles all the time [but I do wear ear plugs]. with the baffles in they would be OK for track days, but still louder than a stock can. I would say with the baffles in they are similar noise to a stock pipe with the baffles removed [bafflectomy].

you wont need new straps, it is just the rubbers that go underneath like these http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/MOTORCYCLE-EX ... 3f338b3b93

Go on then, I'll take them. £120 + postage.

I can receive PMs so if you send me details of how you want paying (bank transfer preferred) , but Paypal or cheque will be OK and I'll sort out the money.

If you include your e-mail address in the PM I'll be able to reply less publicly...

Are they available now, or do you need to wait for their replacements to arrive?

Thanks

Clive
