Big Gun... A little quieter Nozzle experiement
#11
The guys at the dealership thought a Q series,?Two Brothers?, muffler for my bike--said it wouldn't be so loud. I probably will be doing more on than off road riding so this is something I;m going to look into, fore I really don't care for super loud exhausts, I like to be able to hear other things around and under me.
'Q' Series would be FMF. As Slap Drum said, 2 Bros is loud. I bet it will give the BG a run for the money in the noise department.

I got a FMF Q4 muffler this last summer, and I love it. It bolted right on to the stock header. It wasn't obscenely loud, but had had a real nice thump to it. I took the spark arrestor out for a while but that made it too loud for my taste, so it is possible to make it louder.
I did some looking on the net, and from what I read the Q4 was supposed to be one of the quieter options. I didn't want something too loud, because I didn't want to annoy people around the areas I ride. Some of which I'm not supposed to be in.
I'm sure there are more, but I have only read about one member on here that wasn't happy with FMF. He got a powerbomb header he wasnt happy with. I think it worked fine, but the finish was in bad shape right out of the box.
Good luck

Yeah it's a rip-off. Really not much to any of the mufflers. They shouldn't be so high. Here's a funny story. The FMFq4 for our bikes is around $350 most places you look ( i have found them cheaper on ebay). In the parts unlimited catalog it's $350 something. I have a friend of a friend who's cousin (it's something like that) will sometimes sell stuff out of the Parts unlimited catalog for his cost, in order to keep his Parts unlimited license current. I got my FMFq4 through him for $280.
Hmmmmmm? Parts unlimited probably pays $180 for it.

I'll put a different spin on this subject.....Your Ears! All these loud pipes will eventually wreck your hearing. I don't mean to be the Buzz killer but I have been in loud rock bands for years. Recently I started getting a ringing in my ears right after watching the fall Nascar race in Martinsville. The ringing has not gone away and it's been months. I hope all you younger riders consider your ears with all these loud pipes. Get some input from your physician on how loud is safe and then follow his/her advice. JMHO

Thats why I'm looking for the quieter approach to the exhaust upgrade. From what I've heard it makes a big diff. on power to get rid of the restricted stock muffler.
Thanks Dan888 for the input, I'll start shopping around. I bundled up and rode for about 30 miles around the outskirts of town to celebrate today. Happy new Year!
