+chorpeac MVC Posted April 12, 2005 MVC Share Posted April 12, 2005 I have the stock exhaust on the bike right now. I want a muffler that sounds a little louder. I don't race at all, so I don't think I want to get a full muffler replacement. However, slipons are still good for sound right? Is this something that can be installed easily? I have a 2004 Yamaha R6, so what would you recommend? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MR_Candyman Posted April 12, 2005 Share Posted April 12, 2005 http://www.carpimoto.it/product/Lang_EN/Ch.../Prod_17051.htm that's the one I'd recommend...there are a ton of good ones out there...be sure not to get one for racing only This is a good one too...will sound about the same at idle, but at higher revs will sound a lot better...and it's cheape rthan the one above: http://www.carpimoto.it/product/Lang_EN/Ch.../Prod_18053.htm Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
trance Posted April 12, 2005 Share Posted April 12, 2005 Question, why would you want it louder? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
+chorpeac MVC Posted April 12, 2005 Author MVC Share Posted April 12, 2005 Question, why would you want it louder? 585765876[/snapback] One reason is safety. If someone in a car can hear me better while I am beside them, then they are less likely to try to move into my lane and hit me. Secondly, it sounds good and is sometimes smaller in size than the stock muffler. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I have never heard of that brand before. I was looking at the D&D and Yoshimuras. So slip ons are simple enough to install yourself right? No need to take them to a dealer for install?

MR_Candyman Posted April 13, 2005 Share Posted April 13, 2005 both you listed are good aswell. There's a TON of good brands out there. Slip ons are easy to install, I won't get into it because it should just be obvious once you get the muffler. Pretty much it's just a bolt you unscrew on the clamp holding on the muffler. See a clamp on your exhaust pipe when it just comes out of the bottom of your body? You unscrew that bolt, take off the stock exhaust, put on the new one, and screw the bolt back up. There's a good pic of what it looks like here: http://www.akrapovic-ai.si/main/productnew...tnewsmiddle.htm akrapovic is a good brand, I highly recommend them. There are many other good brands aswell, but they do make a solid product I wouldn't hesitate to buy. as for a dealer...I personally wouldn't let them know at any time you changed the exhaust. Yamaha specifically is very against doing so and it could void any warranty you might still have. It's so easy to install anyways you'll have no problems Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If oyu were to go for a full system, they'd be one of the top choices, but for just a muffler, I personally wouldn't bother Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
goodcase Posted April 13, 2005 Share Posted April 13, 2005 It is a safty feature to have a louder muffler. When people are trying to cut you off, just put the clutch in and rev. Thats what my dad did when she had her harley. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

My dad has one on his Triumph Daytona.. it sounds awesome. 585772999[/snapback] umm...1: i've never seen a carbon fibre cannon muffler 2: all the cannon mufflers I've ever seen have been for cars. A car one will NOT fit on this bike without some modification to the muffler's intake, or to the diameter of the exhaust pipes themselves (such as replacing the whole exhaust system or flaring the tip of the pipe). I'd also imagine it'd be a lot louder than regulations would permit since the restriction would be a lot less. I can see getting pulled over for having one of those on your bike Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
+chorpeac MVC Posted April 14, 2005 Author MVC Share Posted April 14, 2005 See, these mufflers they are putting on rice cars are suppose to make the car sound like a motorcycle. Now putting those canons on a motorcycle is trying to make a motorcycle sound like a car who is trying to sound like a motorcycle. *Last statement does not compute!* hahaha Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
