So, how does it sound? With the dB killer installed along with the inlet baffle, it's so quiet I hear the intake noise more than the exhaust. Stealth mode achieved! No performance hit either, it has zero problems hauling me to 70mph with ease (I didn't want to push too hard, still in the first 500miles on the new jug and rings so I let off right away).
With the dB killer out but the inlet baffle still in place, it has a lovely deep tone to it, but it is not at all obnoxious like the Megaphone muffler was. I feel I can ride with the dB killer out and not stand out too much in the crowd, and it is actually a bit quieter than the Stoneman exhaust from ebay too, or at least the tone is such that it stands out a lot less to my ears.
Honestly, this exhaust with the mid pipe mount corrected and this muffler combination is just about perfect, non-catalyst cat in place or not. If somebody were to make it properly and sell it like this, it would be a winner across the board that I think everybody would go with.
All I have left is the other oil cooler to install and some heavier fork oil. I am also considering a more full sized CG125 style fender for a bit better splash protection. Link:
