Hindle question....

[OJ UK]

I have a Hindle exhaust and although I love the sound, the folk who live in the apartment above my
garage have given some polite and gentle hints about me returning after midnight and waking them.

I have also been frowned at by a couple of the local traffic cops so I'm going to have to do something to
soften the note.

Is it possible to fit a dB killer in the end pipe? What is the actual diameter of the outlet pipe?
Basically what's the best way to make the pipe 30% quieter or less raucous?

I highly doubt your going to get it that much quieter with any add-ons. Probably going to have to get new tenants for the apartment....

Let's see..!!

A while back you mentioned repacking the exhaust. There may be a tighter weave that can tone it down. But outside of putting your foot over the pipe end when you get close don't know of any bolt on solutions...:dontknow:

My RS had the hindle on it when I bought it. After about a year my social conscience forced me to put the original back on. It is a lot quieter and I don't mind the sound. But I'm not a fan of V-twin sounds in general. The way I ride these days any performance downgrade was not noticeable.

You might be approaching that point sorry to say.

Thanks all....I am NOT putting on the standard exhaust! It's a bloody monstrosity!
I think the Hindle will have to go to an exhaust specialist which is a few miles away
and have them re-build the silencer with maybe an internal baffle as well as re-packing.

Hindle. The bundle is actually pretty quiet compared to a lot of other aftermarket exhausts.

Hi OJ ,
there is a decibel killer available for the two brothers pipe , wonder if that could be made to fit ?

You could pack some. Steel wool in it and cover it with a wire screen, that would cut down on some of the noise

Buy some earplugs for your neighbours

Do what I did when I was courting and switch the engine off at the top of the road and freewheel down. Worked for me and we are still married 40 years later.
I fitted a TBR P1-X power tip to my TBR canister as I wanted the looks rather than the noise, still achieved a better sound than the stock exhaust and lost 9kg at the same time.
