Well, I finally got sick of the excessive (and blatty sounding) noise from my Jardine 2 into 1 system. I just can't ride for miles and enjoy it when my ears are ringing when I get off of the bike. I went through many phases of modifications to the stock (Jardine) muffler to get it to not only produce less sound, but a deeper and better quality sound without hurting performance. I found a 24" long (overall) fiberglass packed SuperTrapp universal muffler with an opening that fits over a 2" diameter pipe. It's made from brushed stainless steel and comes with a mounting bracket that worked on my M50 with just a little bending and hogging out of a bracket bolt hole. I'm running it with 9 disks (it comes with 12) and has more power everywhere in the power band than the Jardine muffler and with a noise level that is about half way between the Jardine muffler and the stock Suzuki muffler. It has a 2" straight core through the center (Jardine has about an 1.5" core with louvers that neck it down to about 1") with a couple of thousand perforations (small holes) that is 20.25" long. The sound it produces is way deeper than the Jardine and never gets "blatty" and obnoxious when I get on it. It seems like the faster the cruise speed, the less noise it makes. It sounds very much like a Roadhouse 2 into 1 system (without the foot peg interference). It doesn't look quite as good as the stock Jardine muffler, but I was never all that jazzed about the looks of the Jardine 2 into 1 system in the first place. It does kinda have a high tech look that no one else has. I now have a bike with a GREAT sound that doesn't give me a headache that spoils the ride. You can get one at summitracing.com part # sup-443-2024. See my SuperTrapp setup (as well as my Jardine baffle mods) at Kodakgallery.com |
