Pri5tar Posted July 16, 2016 Share Posted July 16, 2016 Hi guys. So I live in the UK and I have fitted an exhaust system. I'm concerned its too loud and might get pulled. can someone shed some light on how police deal with this sort of scenario? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
slice Posted July 16, 2016 Share Posted July 16, 2016 If you go down your local high street in second gear with the throttle pinned to the stop they will be "having words". BUT if your sensible and just use the bike carefully ie third or fourth gear and low revs it should be no problem. My FJ has straight through pipes and it's loud but I just bimble through the town in a higher gear than usual. If all else fails buy a silencer kit for your pipes, the folks who make them usually make an inner baffle that you can use to bring the noise down to a bearable level. Something like this perhaps?

finnerz89 Posted July 16, 2016 Share Posted July 16, 2016 Like slice says, ride like a bellend and you'll attract attention, regardless of how loud your bike is lol. I had some very anti social pipes on my bike and never had any issues. Just be sensible! Sent from my E6553 using Tapatalk 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pri5tar Posted July 16, 2016 Author Share Posted July 16, 2016 Cheers for the reply guys. Its absolutely savage. My neighbour heard me 40 seconds before I got home. I've put the baffles back in and will test tomorrow. Possibly could leave one in see if that makes all the difference Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

meatloaf Posted July 16, 2016 Share Posted July 16, 2016 Love my loud pipes and never had an issue. When my yougest visits I can hear his pipes several minutes before he arrives and he has never been pulled. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Possibly could leave one in see if that makes all the difference Only 1 baffle won't give you the same back pressure for all cylinders which will make one side work harder than the other, given that it is a 4cyl bike.
