Honky: What size are the outlets for your baffled and non baffled exhaust?
At a guess, mine is around 3/4~1" baffled and 2.25" without the baffle.
I haven't snuck any calipers in there to take an accurate measurement, yet.

I'll have to get you a measurement when I can get to the pipe. At the moment it's about 200 miles away.

That must've been a long walk home. :P

Also, does your Leo have any fibrous packing material around the flute and between the outer wall. You should be able to see without removing the baffle.

If I could sneak some fibre wool stuffing in there without needing a can opener, it might be quiet enough to run without the silencer, and consequently make some power.

Heh, well, I had to visit the in-laws this weekend and we took the wife's car. I'd have ridden but she said I could, and you know what it means when a woman tells you you can do something.

Anyway, my caliper was at school, and I left the insert at home this morning, but the measurement of the full exhaust opening is shown below. Also I have photographed as best as I could down the throat of it.

I think the American mentality stemming from the bad boy look of the gang groups back in the 50's gives it the popularity and attractiveness of many folks today. The appearance of some that drive the biggest noise makers are generally (not all) deplorable, unkempt, and scary more so to the tune of carrying MRSA than being a street tough guy. Personally, I prefer the Japanese and European mentality of a smooth sewing machine like running motor with a soft throaty hum. A smooth BMW to me is a much more cultured and advanced machine than those loud washing machine Harley Davidson types that shake like a jitterbug.I like the idea of having speed , awesome acceleration and not having to show the world I have it.. I actually think that those loud exhaust do nothing for safety as they are noisy after they pass you, not so much on the upcoming.. To each is own I guess...the main thing is to have fun and enjoy 2 wheeling !!!
I totally agree. I've never understood the noise mentality, particularly after maturity! o_O

Thanks Honky. It looks like there's a small tuft of wool poking through the flute. So it should be quieter than my tin can.
