I bought a slightly used SpyderAttitude muffler and added it about 9 AM this morning. The CAT is gone, but don't tell anyone. I let it idle for 5 minutes and 1 second, left it all by itself for about 15 minutes with the key 2 miles away. Hopped on for a test ride, already knew it would be at least a little loud, even with the rear whatchamacallum adapter thing on the muffler. 12 miles interstate, part State road, part nice curvy hilly back roads for 30 miles. It was the loudest thing I've ever heard without an amplifier. Well, maybe a 155 is louder for a microsecond. Ran great, plenty of additional pep, backfired some with sudden throttle reduction, but who noticed? It's now in the box it came in and ready for the next owner. Great product, but if it's loud for old, deaf me, every donut eater in N GA will be waiting to give me the next ticket. I even took the long way home, around two fire stations where they all congregate and wait for guys like me driving by like a B-52. So, it'll go on the For Sale forum soon. I have no regrets, except I wish it were just a little quieter so I could keep it on the Spyder. While doing an errand this afternoon, a County Police car came by me with siren screaming and lights going nuts. He was probably doin 90 or more on a 2 lane state road, and I was at 60, but if I still had that muffler on, he would have probably called in and told the dispatcher he was going to ticket this old guy who dooesn't know his muffler fell off, get somepne else on his call. He was really humpin.
Installation was a breeze and it sounded great at idle - pretty loud then too.
Guess I'll stick with the original muffler - sound is fine, but could stand to be a tad louder. Don't think so, not today anyway.
Lots cooler on the right side too, really noticeable.
