Title: So would an EMGO 12" univ shorty be REALLY loud?

I'm looking at replacement mufflers (for pretty cheap) but I have neighbors and stuff (not to mention my own kids). Would that pipe sound like a giant, pissed off hornet coming in at night?
Anybody heard one on a SS?

Size matters,... I don't think a 12" is going to do a lot...

... in a muffler... :-?...

I had a couple on my S50. Pretty much just a straight pipe. In other words, yes.

Thanks guys,

My new muffler is amazingly quiet, especially since it has a hole straight through (see pipe that will slip up the muffler!)

It is a Patriot Exhaust H3346 -- 1 3/4" inlet, outlet, 3" diameter case, 26" long. Also available in 24" or 22". It is naked, no pipes. I simply cut a piece of 1 3/4" tailpipe, cut about 10 degrees for the inlet, straiget for the outlet, brazen, painted.

Just put two of these on my S50. I really liked the sound but they were just a bit too loud so I ordered this stuff:

It took about 10 minutes per muffler to install. Now I'm finally really happy with the sound and look.

Decisions....

Jef, did that muffler install easily? Did you have to rejet?

That Dunstall is what I'm going to run on the Honda, one on each side.

12" shorty is beyond loud. Your neighbors will think a Vietnam War era Huey medivac helicopter is landing in the yard.

Want to really make it loud? A 26" piece of chain link fence top rail tubing, cut at a 75 degree angle, you will think you are living on a fire base. Shutdown backfire puts a 105mm howitzer to shame...

That sounds awesome :D
My neighbors across the street just had a baby. I imagine there would be words if I did that. Tempting though. I split the back yard into a dog run/ kids area and I have all kinds of fence stuff left over.....

I have no problems cracking my pipes first thing in the morning. [smiley=evil.gif] I have neighbors that think it's just fine to sit outside and talk LOUDLY at 5 am. [smiley=angry.gif] I also have a bunch of spoiled little demon children around me that are screaming and yelling and carrying on ALL DAY LONG. [smiley=shocked.gif] Cracking my pipes is the least I can do to repay them for annoying me. ;D ;D I have a Jardine muffler that is nice and loud. ;D

Very easy install. No rejet. It's hard to get a sense of the length from this angle but you can see it extends beyond the swingarm.
