Shall we have an exhaust comparison thread?

Struck me as being an informative idea for peeps considering new exhausts. We could collate video of everyone giving it a bit of berries with various cans on?

I thought of it as I swapped from my Fighter cans > SL Carbons. I shot before and after video so I could directly compare the noise made by both sets of cans. It's lucky I did, as they sound very similar at first listen. When you flick back and forth between the videos however you can hear that the SLs have a bit more low down beat to them - the Fighter is a bit more of a 'bark'. It's a subtle difference and one that's only immediately obvious after doing a few direct comparisons. Loving the SL Carbons!

The videos are uploading to youtube now and I'll post when it's done.

Hi there Hornetrider, lovely bike mate, those wheels looks awesome!!!! Both cans sound sweet, but if I had to chose I'd say the low down burble of the SL carbons get my vote.

I do have an ulterior motive for this post.......I'm looking at doing a high mount exhaust mod on my Falco with some Beowulf cans and was wondering how your end cans are mounted / bracketed to the rear sub-frame. If you have some close-up pic's you could load up, I would be dead grateful.

Cheers
Oli

very good idea. But im not sure if the soundquality on youtube will give all the credit to the various exhaust sounds.
Im a fan of LOUD exhausts, but as i have not met any other Falcos i have no idea where mine are relative to other systems. Must admit that the renegades sounds just like what i want.

You are welcome to stop over when near Rotterdam.
Also we still have the chance to meet at the Assen TT. I won't put the BEF cans on to Assen but the BOS cans are also quite loud.

I live very near Hoek van Holland so with the right wind who knows how far the sound will carry...

Personally, I prefer the 'more standard exhaust'.

The renegades were beautiful, ear plugs required though.Lets have a minutes silence for them, they are a right mess now !
