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?

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? 442-828_A.jpg

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!

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

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.

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.
