My Exhaust to a different model/make Confused

Basically, Its just way to loud (I know noise is good, but just not on this)
I had Baffles changed ect ect and when I enquired the seller he said 'its ment to be loud'

Fair enough. Anyhow, because the original was lost, a make shift one was added. With GunGum to keep it sealed (My pic might explain better. the black is the GunGum.
So, because of the GunGum could I go buy another exhaust (in the pic) and use the can so I can have a sweeter sound? Or will it just completly fook up the whole thing.
Help me please Thumbs Up

I see what your saying, but what I ment was, to use the pipe where the arrow is, saw it off and just slip it into the gungum to make a connection with the main pipe on the bike.
Surely this must work :S

It probably would work, but it's a bodge and I suspect it wouldn't last very long. Your better bet is to see if you can have a pipe welded onto the can, which will then allow you to 'slip' it over the old system and clamp it up.

You could get it welded on but that one looks like an arrow exhaust and
it might be just as loud.

I'd have to say that if you took my bike out for a blast you wouldn't have that problem any longer. when you got back on yours you would probably think, ahh this is nice.
And believe me my bike is totally road legal but it sounds like a rocket.

96 decibels rated at what distance from the pipe, and where in the revrange? I have a 2 stroke generator rated at 65 decibels, when measured 7 meters from the generator. Stood right beside it it's quieter than my Mito125...

You can pick up a cheap decibel meter from Maplins for about £29. Find out at what distance this 96dB was measured at, stand same distance from your bike, get someone to rev it and measure...

Avg indoor rock concert PA rig is 120dB for safetyreasons...

marci there is a standard exhaust loudness measuring procedure which specifically states what revs and what position from the exhaust the decibel metre should be placed
