I put the new pipe on and it sounds amazing!

but there is a noise that i never noticed before i put the pipe on. I'm guessing its just because the exhaust drowns out the engine noise i used to hear and all that is left i didn't notice before.

IDK tell me what you think

Sounded normal to me, but I'll give another listen when I get home with some better speakers.


Just listened to it again, yes, it sounds like mine does at 32k miles.

Thank you Dean! You truly do have the best customer service and products.

The noise I am referring to sounds to me as metal on metal, only really at idle

It just sounds like normal drivetrain noise and badass muffler to me.

EBR ECM idle is set about 1250-1500, I believe i read that some where. or i just made it up either way thats about where it idles and it sounds 1 zillion times better than with the higher idle. now it sounds like a hot rod with a radical cam! oh and i love it

I think I set my hot idle at about 1250 rpm a few years ago. It definitely changed the way it sounds, much more lumpy.

you are just hearing more of the valve train coming out of the pipe(s). The more exotic the exhaust system the more you will hear this.

I heard one of the new Ferrari's at PIR!

OMG!

And, it's too low, in my opinion. When the bike gets really hot it cannot maintain an even idle and will even stall.

I use 1800 on my race bike, and it works much better all around.

Yeh and IMO if the idle is too low the oil pressure is also low. Thats usually the reason they set idles where they do.

Then that would have been operator induced failure, the hard rev limit is 11k rpm.

So glad you posted this. I've heard the same noise and I really noticed it after my exhaust swap. Glad to know she's not going to blow apart on me tomorrow.
