Exhaust too loud

[rtking]

Exhaust doesn't sound too loud to me either. But then again, with the drivers here in SoCal... louder is better to get their attention.

Wait until you hear mine.. is definitely louder than the one in the video

Agreed. Earplugs are the easiest and cheapest way to fight noise fatigue.
They have the additional benefit of reducing wind/helmet noise, too.

I've been wearing earplug for the last few years and it's much more comfortable.

I think the microphone doesn't make the true sound. The exhaust note is louder. I plan to try a few things without opening the muffler.

As Huck says, there is also a lot of intake noise too. May be something that can be worked around.

I'm in the same habit now. A little tinnitus has kicked in, and I sure don't want it to become worse.

I don't have any problem wearing earplugs. But the noise is not only a problem when you are riding. Also when you arrive home at night, or when you want to start the bike in your house for a brief moment and check something are examples of why it is annoying.

Too noisy for me and I definitely will do something about it.

I agree with you. I'm not saying to use earplugs as a fix.

Perhaps you can find a quite core insert like this one: https://www.rockymountainatvmc.com/p...et-Core-Insert

The muffler outlet in the United States has a diameter of approximately 1-1/8 inch. As I said earlier, I suggest you look for a pipe approximately this size which will fit inside the muffler outlet. Fasten the inserted pipe with bolts, et cetera, and you will certainly reduce the noise coming from the exhaust system.

¿What about inserting inside the muffler's exhaust pipe a cylinder made of packed mosquitoes metallic mesh?

I swear that its a lot louder in the flesh than in video, but here it goes anyway

I can definitely hear that frrrap ffrrrap that would be very loud at high rpm.

Yes, you could purchase, or fabricate one of these spark arrestors. It will probably reduce the exhaust noise, but not as much as inserting a piece of pipe.

Do you have an idea on how to secure this pipe? You mention bolts, but I'm having a hard time figuring how it would stay in place.

Thanks

You could use screws. You could also tap the holes, and install bolts without nuts, et cetera. After you remove the end cap you will have a lot more room to work, and will be better able to examine the situation. I suggest you acquire a pipe of the proper dimension, remove the muffler end cap, and experiment a little. After you experiment a bit, you will have a much better idea of your options.

That is true.

What do you think about using something like this?
