Still deep and throaty, just annoyingly less so!

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!

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

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.

Pedestrians yes. What this study was saying is by the time the car driver does hear the pipe it would be too late for any reaction.

On the loud pipes sub topic here, there is a little girl in our street who is terrified of motorbikes because of one guy with a Harley with open pipes. Do we really want to do this to people?

Definitely no. The resultant trauma can affect the victim's ability to be the best they can be in adult years.

Statistically, it is men with immature egos, likely abused and/or abandoned in childhood who commonly take-up obnoxious practices of modified irritating exhausts on typically HDs and full-sized [diesel] pick-up trucks (who may also participate in selfish acts of "rolling coal").



(that is one annoyingly big exhaust)

In both cases, the little girl adult and the selfish rider/driver would need lots of therapy to be happier participants in normal human society.

Talking about loud pipes is like talking about oil. Useless.

Dang! I was about to weigh in.

:rofl::rofl::rofl: Me too!!!!

Sorry, my fault, I rather set that post off on a tangent :exclamation:

 

[GoldOxide_imp]

Dang. I can see some here at the Forum are traumatized (frozen in speech/thought).

Let me try to re-rail this thread ...



High viz gear, better horn and auxiliary lighting should be a fair start.

 

[Houtman_imp]

I could post another reason why some people have loud pipes , it has something to do with other short comings .
