jkt69 Posted July 20, 2008 Posted July 20, 2008 Thoughts on the best pipes to get for a more throaty sound? What are these slipons I get running across on the internet? I don't want a LOUD bike, but I do want a nice sounding, nice idling, can hear it when you get on it sound.
Snarley Bill Posted July 20, 2008 Posted July 20, 2008 if you enjoy your radio leave the stock ones on there. i had loud pipes on mine and they sounded great. the noise sucks. gets awful old after awhile. bill
MAllen Posted July 20, 2008 Posted July 20, 2008 I drilled out the end of my pipes and removed the baffles, I love it, and have had many compliments. If you go to vstar1100.com and follow the instructions for the 1100, it is so easy. It took me about 45 mins to complete both sides. Cheap too. Miike Allen
royalstarjac Posted July 20, 2008 Posted July 20, 2008 I put on the HD Road King muffs drilled out to "stage one". They sound good imo. Good rumble but not too loud. Total cost including Squidly's brackets about $100 and I've still got my stockers in case I ever want to reinstall them. Do a search on "Road King mufflers" in the tech section to learn more. -Jack
BradT Posted July 20, 2008 Posted July 20, 2008 Agree Harley's are okay even not bored out, just a tad deeper sound. THen you can drill them so it is just a tad louder, but if you want nice sound the Bubs are my favorite but these can geta little loud, if your on it. Brad
50btripn Posted July 20, 2008 Posted July 20, 2008 I got the Baron's 4-2-4, extreme slash slip-ons. A lot louder than stock, but I have gotten a LOT of compliments on both the sound and the looks.
spyderhead Posted July 20, 2008 Posted July 20, 2008 I put the BUBS on mine a couple weeks ago, and I still cannot decide if I like them. They are a bit louder, but (to me) they make the bike sound like a car. An old 60s car. It's hard to explain, but I think I don't like them. Instead of a deep rumble, I get a kind of idling hemi sound. At any rate, BUBS (I think) make the bike sound like a V4 . . . car.
flb_78 Posted July 20, 2008 Posted July 20, 2008 I wouldn't waste your time drilling out stock yamaha mufflers. Ever heard a mouse fart in a coffee can? Get some Roadking mufflers if you just want a little deeper, but not louder. Get Bub's if you want a little deeper and a little louder. Get Baron's if you want a lot of deeper and a lot of louder!!!!! I have the Baron's bag pipes. Friggin' loud. Sounds mean revved up. I passes a buddy of mine one day while he was in his pickup on the highway. He said it sounded like a small block chevy with straight pipes that went flying by him. I was running around 100 mph.
Al Bates Posted July 22, 2008 Posted July 22, 2008 HD Road King muffs drilled out, Fine a use new set for around $45.00 + - $10.00 Need brackets can make them for around $10.00 or purchase them around $40.00 + - $5.00
