• There were many reasons for the change of the site software, the biggest was security. The age of the old software also meant no server updates for certain programs. There are many benefits to the new software, one of the biggest is the mobile functionality. Ill fix up some stuff in the coming days, we'll also try to get some of the old addons back or the data imported back into the site like the garage. To create a thread or to reply with a post is basically the same as it was in the prior software. The default style of the site is light colored, but i temporarily added a darker colored style, to change you can find a link at the bottom of the site.

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
 
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.
 
all RLS Exhaust are sold out, according to his website, as im looking also for something down the road also.
 
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, :2thumbs:
 
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.

Same here, unless it a triple piped triple 2 stroke :thumbup:

 
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
