LOUDER "Silencer" for Norge
JeffOlson:
I love my new Norge. However, it is too quiet! I would like to open up the sound a bit so I can hear and enjoy more of that v-twin rumble. (I have reviewed some of the old threads on this but am looking for recent opinions.)
Which 'silencer"? A Mistral from MG Cycles for $538 to $580? Or an Agostini from AF1 Racing for $700 to $800? Or...? Also, do I need a new tune, especially if I remove the decibel killer?
The last time I did this was on my 2014 Triumph Thruxton. I replaced the stock cans with very LOUD British Customs Predators. Because they are so open (basically they are hollow tubes!), I needed to have the ECU re-mapped. It is a GREAT and GLORIOUS sound, but it is far louder than what I want for the Norge. The Thruxton is meant for short trips around the neighborhood and to and from a cafe. The noise is perfectly acceptable for that type of riding (at least to me) . The Norge, however, needs to be a bit more civilized, and is used for much longer trips. Also, I do not want to affect low-RPM performance...
Thanks for any thoughts!

Have you considered the Staintune?
JeffOlson:
^ No, at least not yet. They are located in Australia, so shipping might be a bit steep to the US. Plus, I have heard some say they are bit "tinny" sounding...
Vasco DG:
You will find that the bike won't run nearly as well with the dB killer out compared to in. This will be doubly true if you remove the collector box.
While the system will trim around changes to a certain point puting an open pipe on an 8V is counter productive in terms of performance.
