I like the throughty sound of the 1000cc plus race bikes - and wouldn't mind that sound from my 914.
http://cgi.ebay.com/ebaymotors/SUZUKI-MOTO...567336056QQrdZ1 I put a banana style muffler on my 1.7 exhaust on my 2.0 engine but man is it loud - obnoxiously so - especially at night. I thought that maybe I could cut the muffler of off my muffler assy and install a motorcycle type for nicer sound and be quiter also - this one is rate 80db. http://cgi.ebay.com/ebaymotors/2001-Kawasa...567604117QQrdZ1 Jim |

Bear in mind...a MC engine is a LOW torque, HIGH revving motor in a LIGHT body that needs as much free flow as possible to get the high horse power rating....
Put a Hyabashyu (sic?) motor in a 2000lbs car and you will need 8 gears and a huge clutch to get it to move.... So four muffs on a four cylinder bike motor makes sense. A large single muff on a higher torque motor makes sense....I used two five inch (at the tip) Supertrapps on my 3.6 for three years...worked OK... |
