-> What are everyone else's experiences with the exhaust sound of their
-> turbo bikes?
I have a 12" long, 2" ID automotive glasspack muffler on my XJ650
Turbo. It's welded to the conical section where the original muffler
was before it rotted off, and it's painted semi-gloss black like the
original. Nobody ever seems to notice it's just a $15 car muffler
instead of a $400 Yamaha muffler; I tossed the take muffler on the other
side away. Well, it was connected to the wastegate, but I disabled that
a decade ago.
I got lucky with the glasspack. It's quiet enough around town, and it
give an amazing baritone howl when I'm on boost. Closest thing I can
think of is, imagine a radial arm saw biting into hardwood, except drop
it a few octaves. The guys I ride with like it; one of them describes
it as "the damnedest thing I ever heard."
