More thunder???

tcarroll · 06-26-2008, 11:04 AM

My '99 came with a V&H SS2R slip-on and it sounds a bit weak to me.
It sounds good at low speeds but over 45 I can hardly hear myself.
Especially with my buddy in front of me on his Bandit 1200s with his holeshot exhaust. Would a Micron give me a little more thunder?

Silence is golden my friend! Too mush noise and the things like Denver's new MC exhaust/noise law happen. Yeah, I know, not much help. I have a two brothers carbon slip-on by the way....perfect amount of noise/silence when I need it. I like just the right amount of noise so I can fall in love with the sound, and sneak thru neighborhoods relatively quietly.

What I'm looking for I think is just a deeper tone, not louder really.
My SV650 had a two bros slip-on and it sounded great.
That TB shure looks nice on your bike too.

I do like the looks of it. I bought it with it on the bike. Too bad that TB has such shitty customer service. I have never heard a positive experience about TB service.

And sadly TB no longer lists a high mount for the gen 5.

Like I read here somewhere... I don't want it too loud,
just want it to sound like my old Firebird!

I talked to a guy with a 2 bros on a 98 the other day. Sounds great sitting still or riding behind him, but on the run he said he could not hear it. So I do not know how loud you have to get to hear it while twiting the throttle.

tcarroll · 06-26-2008, 01:03 PM

It just isn't fair. I want to hear it - it's not that I want eveyone else to.
Maybe I'll re-route the whole thing so it exits in front of me like on my sled...

record it and put it on your ipod then you can listen to it all you want...
