    Got this exhaust on my 05 blade. Imported from the states.

    Its not overly loud but quite loud. Am planning a trackday at oulton park next year and they run a 102db limit which i dont think i will make.

    Its not designed for baffles as the two exits are reasonably small.

    any ideas?

    Failing that i may remove it and sell it and just buy a beowulf oval with removeable baffle. The sale of this can should pay for that and still have change left in my pocket.

    lol, I actually like tis can though. Its the only one that fits the gap under the seat without leaving any gaps. all the others just look like tupence bolt on extras.

    If it's the can on the bike doin the filming, it don't sound exceptionally loud mate. If you can get to a trackday meet one day, they will test it for ya without you having to pay?

    nope, You see me pull away at the end at about 12:27. The camera bike is a cbr600f with a stock exhaust ;-)

    Then a 918 blade goes by with a stainless oval with a baffel in. Can tell mine is 10 times louder.

    Now I get ya, yep that's loud. I can make you a baffle to get you through the noise tests and run OK on the road, but you would need to alter the fuelling with a PC for the trackif it's already been set up for that can? Can you do another drive by video?

    Blade is off the road at the moment. I think the baffles will help it as the bike has no power comander fitted. I am planning on buying one but looking for cheap ones on ebay lol.

    The bike bogs down in first gear when trying to pull away quick. so baffles might actually help it breath normally.

    Im a bit dubious if it would make a 105db day aswell in the current form. only td ive done on it was donnington on a noisy day so no sound test.
