Hi , my stock exhaust on Sinnis Stealth is really too loud and agressive which pisses me off since my average riding RPM is 6k and it sounds really annoying.
Im looking for a good exhaust/brand which doesnt go over like 200£ , but if there is something cheaper/reliable then i would be glad.
Thank you.

P.S. gears issues - 3 gear top speed 80 miles/hour , 5 gear top speed 70 miles/hour.
Is it meant to be like that ? Its a stock bike , with 400 miles on the clock ( did those 400miles day ago and decided to check speed ).

It won't do a true 80mph. The Speedo is over reading.

As for the gearing, on Chinese bikes, the fifth gear seems to be more of an overdrive gear than a whole extra gear, if that makes any sense.

How in the hell is a stock 125 exhaust too loud or 'aggressive'? They typically sound like a damp fart in a jar.

well its really loud like u are revving ur engine all the time and it doesnt give smooth sound , its just sounds like sh1t.
I know what u mean , i check on youtube the sound of other 125 stock bikes and the sound of their exhausts is much smoother.

Check for holes, then. If there's even a small hole in an exhaust, it'll alter the sound significantly.

Its like that since i bought it , i didnt like the sound from the start.
I had yamaha 125 scooter before and it sounded much smoother then this one , i have an owner of other sinnis model at work he doesnt like the sound either. As i said it sounds like something which is constantly revving at high rpms.

Is it new? If not, then I'd be checking the exhaust gasket, the part where the can joins the downpipe, and the airbox for any gaps/splits.

Yeap , its a stock bike imported in August and bought by me in October Smile ( year 2012 , as i wrote in 1st post it has only 400 miles on it ).
Thanks for the speedo , just noticed that now ill add that for my 1st service at the dealer.

I have just had another thing , mb its just cheaper to put a silencer in it if its possible ofcourse.

You don't seem to understand. They all over-read, even on expensive bikes. The mechanic's not going to be able to do anything about it.

As I say, for the exhaust, check for any kind of leak. There is a chance that it's just how the bike sounds, though.

Ohh ok...

What i believe that is how the engine and that stock exhaust sounds , that's why im looking for an advice what to get cause i want a smoother sound.

Here is other sinnis model with yoshimura exhaust , smooth sound when it revs.

That is how mine sounds right now , when you keep the throttle to just ride in like 30m/h it constantly sounds like that which simply annoys me.

As a general rule of thumb, aftermarket exhausts are typically louder than stock, not quieter.
:edit:
Yoshimura exhaust, on a Sinnis? Where did you get that idea from? Laughing

Mine sucks , mm in that video sinnis bike got yoshimura exhaust and i like the sound but one of my friends recommended to get akrapovic which is too pricey for me. Thats why i made the thread to get some advices what to get.

OK: I'll make this simple for you, then. The big-name exhaust manufacturers don't make exhausts for Chinese bikes. There's not enough consistency between models to make it worth the exhaust manufacturer's while.

Also, at no point does that video mention Yoshimura exhausts, nor does it show one fitted to the bike.

Put bluntly, whoever told you that you'd be able to get an Akra or Yoshi exhaust for a Chinese 125 was talking utter crap.

As I said earlier on, check the exhaust that's currently fitted, to see if anything's worked loose, or if there's a leak anywhere along the length of it.
