Stock exhaust or aftermarket header?

[milkmaster_imp]

Bought my CB1100 this past spring. I always loved the sound of a Honda inline 4, but my current Cobra header gets a bit louder when the exhaust system gets hot. Too loud and sounding like a sport bike is not a desirable feature for me. I am thinking about going back to the stock exhaust. Tell me why this is a good or bad idea if all I want is to quieten the bike down a little.

Because you don't wish to sound like a tricked out Subaru?

That looks good on the CB.
I do not want my bike too loud like a HD, bit louder doesn't bother me.
One member has OEM, almost brand new muffler for sale ????

I will admit I like "the looks" of your Cobra offering milkmaster, and it would be even better lookin' without the logo.

Stock exhaust for me. The silencer is a tad larger than it needs to be though.

What is your aftermarket setup?

 

[mvk24_imp]

I'm still waiting to grab a Mizuno full exhaust. Its basically the discontinued Yoshi racing exhaust knock off but not titanium.

Just haven't had the spare funds laying around. Until then my Shorty Moto GP exhaust tip is loud enough

Personally I think the Staintune is how the bike should have came from the factory....

Looks better, rides better, sounds better while not at all loud or raspy.

It's the aftermarket muffler for guys that think they like the stock muffler.

Too bad they never made a dual set for the DLX.

I agree with that. Or the Arrow for DLX.

perks of the skinny tire :biker:

long muffler on a full delkevic. not obnoxious, at all. been very happy with it. stock header has its drawbacks, but its not terrible either. and dirt cheap.

it did come with a quiet core insert that made it as quiet if not quieter than the stock system as well... that made it about 10 miles.

If the they had any options that were all black I wouldn't have bought one already
