Overrun noise on Kerker

[Cheeseybeaner]

Wondering how much overrun noise would be normal for a Kerker 4:1 system on a zrx1200?
The pipe is pretty loud, am wondering if it would benefit from a baffle wrap? Are the silencers difficult to strip or easy?
I don't mind the overall sound of the system but find the overrun noise excessive, sounds a bit like a rally car on the overrun with the popping if you know what I mean.
How much of it is to be expected from a relatively open system?

Do you know if the ZRX has any anti pollution or fuel economy systems similar to the Honda "Pair" system that might be causing the popping?

I don't know if it's the same as yours but I bought a new Kerker system for my CB -1 400, that has some packing around the baffle, that "crackled", (very nicely), on the over-run but no popping. Is yours one with the wierd megaphone type bit on the end of the silencer? Biggest let down on mine ended up being the supposedly "indestructable" ceramic coating that rusted through after one season Great sounding pipe though and about a quarter the weight of the original

Yes its the megaphone type system, suppose its intended to imitate the 80s efforts they had on gpz1100's as per Eddie Lawson in the early 80s.

Its more 'crackle' than popping, your word is a better description actually but just seems a little too intrusive to me. I'm wondering if it'd be better if I pulled the baffle out and wrapped it with some packing. No idea if there's currently anything in there.

Kerker have/had a good reputation, esp in The States. Worth it for the weight saving alone on mine but it is a bit on the loud side, certainly not legal here in UK in the strict sense of the word. The packing on mine is on its way out after not much use so it could be yours might need replacing but I've got a feeling it wouldn't make a big difference anyhow.
