    Default Which New exhaust for my F3s? What do you have?

    I love, love my new spyder! But I’m not crazy about the exhaust. Looking for something with a deep, loud sound. My husband has a Harley and I love the sound. I have watched numerous Utube videos and they say they don’t sound the same in person as they do on the video. What exhaust are you using? Thoughts? Thank you

    You'll never get the twin sound from a triple!

    Call Rick at RLS Exhaust. He makes what he sells and can tell you which products produce what sounds. He was spot on with my request.

    I took off the cat, made my own pipe, and welded an acropovic exhaust to it, it was an open pipe, after a few miles I made two baffles one in the endpipe,and one before the endpipe, to dampen the sound, and to create a bit more backpressure, as bike was running a bit to lean. (ut popped, and that's not a good thing)
    Now down the road under 3000 rpm, it just there but not annoying/droning, but when the revs come up, imho it blasts a nice troaty sound, It al comes to personal preferences, what works for me, doesn't nessacirily work for you.

    free advice, no guarantees,
    the funniest thing about this particular signature is that by the time you realise it doesn't say anything it's to late to stop reading it........

    As said by the previous poster, it all comes down to personal preference, coupled with acceptable pricing to achieve it.
    My choice was 2 Brothers.

    First, we'll never get the same sound out our Spyders to compare to the tone of the H-D. My last H-D was an 1800cc/110 cu. in. with cams, open air intake, no cat, and Vance and Hines exhaust: I loved it.

    Physically, the sound pressure out of a 440 cc piston (the 1330 engine) will never be close to that which comes out of a 900 cc piston (the H-D engine). There will be 50% more power pulses at a given engine RPM and the 1330 revs at a higher average than the H-D. Our Spyders will always have a higher pitched, sharper bark than the larger displacement V-twins. One can make the exhaust note louder but the physics of the power pulse, a.k.a. exhaust note, will not compare.

    Put it in car terms, the H-D is like a 440 cu in (detuned) V8 compared to a (highly tuned, high reving) 218 cu in V8.

    I bought the Akra when I bought my bike. If I bought another, I'd stick with stock. They weigh pretty close to the same, and the triple sound just doesn't appeal to me. At about 3K it sounds just like my diesel 3cyl tractor.

    I just put the RLS Assassin on, and went riding this past weekend—-and I love it.
    I had Cobra Neighbor Haters on my HD Deluxe, and although it’s not EXACTLY the same—-it’s as good as it’s going to get given that there’s no comparison in terms of sound. Ricky was extremely helpful and very responsive.

    I have an HMF pipe with a Big City Thunder baffle which I put in it .
    It sounds great and no loss of low end power also pulls hard thru the whole rpm range .B857A1ED-37C4-410B-AE27-6C4206EC5713.jpg
