Ok, so the pipes sound great on the open road but the neighbors don't like that throaty roar at 5am or any other time.

What are you doing for your pipes to keep them neighbor friendly but still be able to let it rip on the asphalt?

I am the only biker in this neighborhood so no support from the locals.

Stock is not an option!

 

I have SE2s on my Night Train, and have never ahd any issues with neighbours. They aren't crazy loud unless you get on the throttle hard. At idle/low speed, they're throaty, and I have set off car alarms, hehehehe... but not too loud.

Cheers!

Respond to all neighborly conversations with WHAT!!!!!!

 

What did you say??

 

I agree, stock pipes are not an option! I have Pythons on my RKCustom and they are not too loud in my opinion. I just try to leave my neighborhood (it is a small one) without much throttle. Other than that, there is nothing else you can do. They only hear it for less than a minute anyway. Ride On!

 

Until they get rid of the guy in the four door civic that has his subwoofer set for stun my neighbors can listen to my bike - My Pythons sound good and I like them that way - Live and let live!

 

hey they just got to understand you got to go to work or other wise they hear them all day long. dont worry to much it's not like you are going out a 5 am doing burn out's or anything like that just do the best job by easing it out you will be fine.

 

Screw the neighbors. Tell them if they don't like the pipes, they can move somewhere else.

 

Most people recommend SE pipes for those asking the question you did.


There is an interesting article on the MOCO's website (front page) from the CEO of the company concerning just this issue.

 

I have SE Stage 1's on my bike. Not too bad and I don't get on it on local street here.
