Still deep and throaty, just annoyingly less so! - Whoops - 04-09-2021
Just a few posts shy of the For Sale forum requirements, but this wasn't a sale/buy/trade regardless. Just a guy with no need for a part helping a guy with need of a part handled through private messages. Apologies if this skirts the rules in some way. I just wanted to call him out for being a great forum member!
I expressed dislike for how loud the Yoshimura exhaust was on my recently purchased 2014 CB1100 and that it lacked the silencer I saw mentioned in other threads. Well, cj599 stepped in and offered to give me his silencer since he never planned on using it again, so long as I cover the shipping.
It just arrived today and I am amazed at how just a small bit of metal pipe stuffed inside another bit of metal pipe can have such a dramatic reduction in decibels.
My neighbors thank you, my wife thanks you, even my dogs don't run inside the house anymore when I pull in and would no doubt thank you, if they could.
Thank you cj599!

And because loud pipes don't save lives. The latest research into what has been stated many times before. https://www.autoweek.com/news/industry-news/a35952569/loud-pipes-do-not-save-lives/

Oklahoma’s loss is Utah’s gain. Kind of you, CJ.

In some cases it could take lives in the concrete jungle where the sound is further amplified and literally causes sidewalk granny to stumble and fall while clenching her chest. Pretty sad bunch of animal riders some of us are.

Nice to help someone out.
I still believe louder pipes help you get noticed, have seen people turn to look many times as I approach them on my Harley, never see them do the same when I'm on the CB, just my experience.

I’m surprised it’s that loud. I have the same pipe in carbon fiber and unless I’m wringing the motor out it’s only marginally louder. It may need to be repacked. You can send it in to Yoshimura and have it gone for a very reasonable price. Or follow the you tube videos and do it yourself although it’s messy.
