Anyone here tried the Scorpion stainless steel slip-on?
Quiet Aftermarket Exhausts?
I'm not thinking of buying one yet, but when that day comes, when I do need a new exhaust, over here, it's got to pass the MOT test. That means if it's got "Not for road use" stamped on it, and it's too loud, it isn't going to pass. I came across this website that is selling "EC" stamped exhausts, that are supposed to be road legal. I've heard many complaints on here about aftermarket exhausts being too loud. I quite like the look of the cheapest Remus can, and the cheapest Scorpion can (I think you can buy the Scorpion can in stainless steel elsewhere). I've also noticed that the Leo Vince Evo I and II is being sold on here as street legal. I wonder if they have quieter baffles in them than is sold elsewhere in the world, or they're bending the truth a bit. I thought this may be of interest to those of you who wanted a different exhaust, but also didn't want one that was unsociably loud.

The trouble with listening to clips on Youtube, is it's very difficult to judge the volume of an exhaust. My bike sounds mean, if you watch any of my Youtube clips, but it sounds more like a sewing machine to me, when I'm riding it.
Yep, been wondering about a quite aftermarket exhaust too for some time. I put a Ninja 250 exhaust on my bike, and it looked good, I liked it a lot.
It seem like the inlet was a little smaller than the 250 exhaust, which was no big deal to me, I made it work.
Until it few weeks back, I blow it complete off riding down the freeway…. It muffler got banged up, so I just put my stock one back on.
I was think about doing like a stork R6 exhaust next…
here it is with the ninja exhaust:

Hello fellow bikers,
Haven't been here for a while, how are you? Anyway...i've ordered a "custom" exhaust in my country (indonesia). I asked to make it as quite as possible (close to the stock exhaust). I will let you guys know how it turns out. The best part of it is you can design it as you wish and it costs about 100 bucks. The guy who makes it is a professional racing exhaust designer. Well i hope it turns out as i wanted it.)

I'm a big fan of my Leo Vince evo in stainless. I wish I'd recorded before/after, but after is roughly as loud as my partner's stock harley sportster at idle. Nice sound while running as well. Working at a relatively 'professional' establishment, it would be highly frowned on to come in with a really loud exhaust. This is just loud enough to sound like a real bike, and just quiet enough to pass for 'mature' and 'professional' as long as I behave myself with the throttle.
update on lv evoII slip-on, two weeks and already
notice its become quieter, well, to be more accurate
noticed ive adapted to it in general riding style
as she sounds like a motorcycle not a lawnmower
now which is ongoing feedback as to what the engine
- ie, my input to it via the throttle - is doing..
small changes include less throttle in rev matching
when downshifting.. short sharpish blipping gives
feedback of 'not so much needed'..
noticed now not extending into rev range so far
while progressing thru gears in no hurry situations..
ie, now have less tendency to load the motor
and for a shorter time per gear..
theres a general minimal but noticeable
throttle use which doesnt effetively change
how i ride over the same routes but could be
described as 'smoother', perhaps..
this was obvious when taking her out for her
first test runs with the new lv slip on installed,
but instead of just riding and listening
ive noticed myself making small changes
to lessen the bark of loaded throttling..
still let her go a bit now and then
to get a feel for any changes in engine
performance etc, when there is more of
an obvious motorcycle sound..
performance wise, engine seems to 'like'
the lv slip-on.. take off is particularly clean
and smooth, incl rolling thru/exiting turns..
without dyno, she feels a touch stronger
around maximum torque range [5.5-7.5 say]
without any obvious power hit higher up..
seems to maintain a smooth flow of power
from that nice higher torque range..
taking off at predawn in my apartment area
[downhill] she has a nice not too loud low toned
idle once settle to 1500, then its easy to ease away
with soft throttle at quite acceptable speed etc
without making enemies of the neighbours..
so however a good slip-on with reducers
sounds at first doesnt need to be all its
capable of after even a couple of weeks
riding and adjusting to its different
sound and slightly different power etc..
this is meant to be somewhat reassuring
for members with some concern for
potential noise making/neighbours etc..
ps, yesterday riding past the police stn/courthouse
group of 5 or 6 uniformed police on my side footpath
didnt even look up as we eased bye [4th probably]
