Yes. It will also give you tinitus if you don't wear ear plugs.

The novelty of a loud pipe soon wears off if you do more than weekend warrioring. Just turns into a drone after a few hours riding.

I have the same and it's as loud with the can as it is with no can at all. The can just changes the tone into a deeper booming noise rather than a shrill barking noise that you get with no can.

It will keep you happy if the bike is a toy. If it's a commuter have the standard can on standby.

I've had 2 micron cans. They looked very similar from the outside. But one was much louder and a much nicer tone than the other.

So beware, they're not all the same.

Decent cans though.

Micron cans are generally good quality, and most sound nice with the baffles removed Twisted Evil !!!! Even road legal cans sound good. Cant really go wrong with such a big well known maker. I have enjoyed all my microns. so yes buy and enjoy!!!! They are a nice can with out spending a fortune on a blue flame, scorpion or acprovic system or the like so yea buy and enjoy!!!!

i have a micron on my NS125, it sounds nice, loud and kind of crisp, yet not as loud as some other 125 sports in my area with stock cans on, so buy it, don't regret what you could of missed, mine never brores me and sounds nice when pulling up to lights behind souped corsa+ chavs revving nads of said corsa, than sound bike off and watch them quiten plus it does a world of good with tired drivers, they hear you presence.

I got a road legal Micron on a 600cc. It's loud enough to make me wear ear plugs all the time (not a bad thing I suppose). More importantly it sounds far better than the standard can Thumbs Up

I got it new so for the money I'm happy with it.
