I made the decision to replace the whisper-quiet stock muffler with a TBR slip-on not because I want to make noise, but so that I can hear my engine. Let me explain.
I wear a full-face helmet with earplugs. With the stock muffler at highway speeds, I can't hear the engine. That means I have to constantly check the speedometer in order to hold a speed, not good in on a crowded multi-lane highway. My solution? Put on a muffler that lets me hear my engine.
I know some of you guys have installed multiple mufflers and I therefore bow to your expertise. That said, I love the sound of the TBR. Loud enough for me to hear at highway speeds, but soft enough not to be annoying. It also weighs about half as much as stock and, IMO, looks great. I couldn't be happier!
