Got my new exhaust...

[cjttchris]

So about a week or so ago, thanks to the help of some BCF members, I chose to buy myself a Danmoto XG-1 exhaust for my Bandit with the baffles. After waiting a week for them to be delivered I fitted them yesterday. F*****G HELL!!! They were a lot louder than I had first expected, despite a brief warning.

Now I'm not too sure what to do with them, I'm going to try it out today and go for a little ride but I don't think I can keep them due to increased chance of being pulled and annoying the neighbors. If it does come to wanting to sell them I will. I guess I'm worried about being pulled due to never being pulled over in my life. Any advice?

you're unlikely to get pulled over by the feds but arsehole neighbours might dob you in to the environmental peeps for disturbing their afternoon nap [serious].

Also just be aware if it's that loud you probably won't enjoy your rides as the noise will just get annoying. Also may cause ear damage if you're not wearing plugs.

You will be removing the baffle before the week is out for even more noise.

Thanks for all the advice. Well I guess I will just have to see how it goes. I'll take it into town tomorrow and just hope for the best!

Luckily my neighbours aren't too bad, they would come to me first I would have thought!

Damnoto cans are obnoxiously loud.

I had a Scorpion stubby on my 1200 Bandit and (for me) it was just the right amount of noise, even with the baffle out. Could ride it without ear plugs and no danger of hearing loss.

If you aren't happy with it just stick it on ebay and get some money back, put it towards a quieter can that you will be happy with.

The anonymous, unmarked can on my Street Triple is equally of concern. Not so much worried about being pulled for it, but it's a bit embarrassing when I take it through peaceful Lake District locations. On any high street, everyone stops to look round at what's making all the racket!
My main worry is, will it get through an MOT? Guess I'll need to find somewhere "understanding" enough to pass it as I'm reluctant to lay out for a replacement now.
The neighbours seem to be ok with it though, as I don't spend ages letting it warm up before riding off.

When I'm in the mood for riding this bike though, the sound track plays a large part in the enjoyment as gearbox whistle, induction roar and can all rise to a crescendo of aural awesomeness!

My stubbied Scorpion sometimes gets and advisory(seal of approval) and sometimes nothing.

Worry not.

MOT reasons for rejection (found on a not too dodgy looking site):

2. A silencer that is in such a condition or is of such a type that the noise emitted is clearly in excess of that which would be produced by a similar machine fitted with a standard silencer in average condition.

3. A silencer marked 'NOT FOR ROAD USE', 'TRACK USE ONLY' or similar words

My Triumph can might have had a not for road use marking on the heel guard, but it's impossible to tell as whatever was there appears to have been worn smooth.
MOT tester made no remark (it's not stupid loud). The bike was thoroughly cleaned and gleaming with WD40 and wax. When I asked if was all okay (I was a bit surprised at how quick he was): "Yeah, no problems, you should see the state of some of the stuff that comes in" with a shake of the head.

I went out on the bike today to see how it would fair in a large village near home. I could be quite with it, just have to go very steadily!
