louder muffler that uses original header pipe ?

[garb55]

I could never hear the loud pipes on my bikes
Till I got rid of the EX

[Pampurrs]

This (very old) thread piqued my interest. I wouldn't mind having a richer, but not ear splitting sound to my Spyder. I'm going to investigate the Two Brothers exhaust that a few of the posters mentioned.

Thanks for the good info

P.S. I don't believe there is any empirical data to support either position in the "Loud pipes save lives" theory. However, I support each rider's decision to have as loud of a bike as he wants as long as he doesn't shatter my windows when he rides by my house

Pampurrs, the Akrapovic with the baffles removed provides a great sound on the 998 Twin-V engine.

Thanks. How about on the 1330? Same?

I don't have a 1330, so couldn't say. I do think my Akrapovic does sound throatier than the 1330s of folks I ride with who also have Akrapovic mufflers - but I could be biased!

Putting in the converter bypass pipe will often change the tone, without making the bike too loud...

I consider myself frugal, wife calls me world class cheap, and the price of the Akrapovic is too steep for my blood when matched against the Two Brothers RT 1330 muffler. Don't know how the two compare weight-wise but the TB is a whale of a lot lighter than the stock muffler. You also should talk to Ann.

IMHO the best sounding exhaust I've heard for the 1330 is the stock exhaust. Every aftermarket exhaust I've heard sounds like a can on a Honda civic.

Thank you Drew!!!

The last thing I want is for my Spyder to sound like a leaf blower on steroids, which is what those cans on the Hondas sound like.

Did a google & found some one did split two bro's said sound was greatmight be best way to go?

[GOZFST]

Question... Why would you want to make the bike louder?

[Bob Denman]

WTF!!!!
How about you just answer the mans question and keep your opinions to yourself
BMAC if you ride the RT Two brothers will work as a slip on muffler. Many SL riders seem to like it. Search pipe or exhaust or just shoot Lamont a PM

While I do LOVE the sound of a well tuned engine and loud pipes, I do also agree with SPYD3R. I've found it difficult to judge my own shifting when behind some rydes with loud pipes, because I do so by ear. I'm not as happy to swap over to viewing the tach for shifting....But small price to pay for the freedom of choice!

Look into just getting the cat by pass pipe.It makes the exhaust a little louder and sounds good when you get on it.The big plus its cheaper then buying a pipe/exhaust muffler.

[Huddleston]

I replaced the stock pipe with an Akropovic which gives the Spyder a deeper tone and a little more volume. Very pleasant sound. If you want a little more volume, the baffles come out easily, but can easily be reinstalled if you don't like the result. I keep mine in or out without the screws so that they can be removed or reinstalled on the fly.

FWIW, I've got a carbon fiber 2 Brothers I took off my '12 RT, PM me if interested.

Where does one acquire this Cat Bypass?

Also, can't the Cat just be removed? That's what I did on my Victory.

Thanks

[one2doo]

Lamont sales them.

[PaladinLV]

As already stated Lamont has them and no you cannot just remove the CAT without the bypass. This brings the end of the pipe in line with were the CAT exit pipe ended allowing aftermarket mufflers to slip on like the cat was still there.

HOWEVER!
If considering the 2 Brothers, they state in their installation instructions Do Not remove CAT.

I also went with the Akrapovic on my 14 RT-S.
To me, it reminded me of the Rhineharts I had on my Harley.
From a personal perspective, I think removing the baffles (did that) give the muffler a little deeper sound and do very little as to the volume.
I'd say it's a mid-level muffler akin to VH and Rhinehart.
What sold me was WARRANTY and a negotiated price I couldn't resist - $765

I also find the metric crouch rockets screaming down my city streets 10X louder and 10X more obnoxious then any "loud" Spyder muffler I've heard to date.
