Topic: Who's using Cone Engineering 4-2 Quiet Core Mufflers on CB500/550?

[jmelche2]

If you're using these mufflers, what can you tell me about them?  Are they "quiet"?  I would love to see some detailed pics of how you have them mounted and how they look on your bike.

compared to the 12" open reverse cone, yes, they are quiet, with a nice growl.  this one is on my 750K8
you'll need to clamp them, and might want to weld a mount tab as they have some weight to them...

Anybody else have a 500 or 550 to show me? 

Thanks, Jim

Fly box love the sound. What headers do you have on there?

Here's the 2-1 Quiet Core I run on my own bike. I'm running 1.50" SS header to a 1.75" outlet 2-1 collector.  I have loads of bottom end so when leaving the house I can click it up a gear high, drop the RPM and be extra quiet.  I have geared on the high side as well since these XS motors vibrate like a paint shaker!

There is now a whole series of videos with each different muffler all running on the same bike so you can compare them: http://www.coneeng.com/product_videos.html

Did you weld the tab on yourself Rob, or did you find a local shop to do it for you? Sounds great BTW I will have to hear it in person someday

Now you're TALKIN'!

My favorite poster of all time, wish I still had it: hung in my shop for years -- the Mike Hailwood, over to the pipes on the Honda Six. It's why my Fours all have Four pipes, so far!

This isn't the Quiet Core but a mounting example.

Flybox the muffler sounds great, but what's the source of the other racket. Do you have an open cover Ducati dry clutch in that 750?

How do you go with muffler bracket on Cone's SS mufflers?

@FunJimmy - That was my old and tired, unknown mileage 4 owner K1 engine.   
Cam rattle that wouldnt go away, leaky head, etc...sold it and dropped in a refreshed F3. 
@Duanob - I found a welder about a mile from me.  His shop is in the back of his house.  He did it.
He rides a Duc999, and is working on a custom bent exhaust for his R90S. 
He brews his own beer and will take a different kind of green for payment.

this is inspiring for a self made system..i think i vill use it for my cbx.. mostly straight pipes/lines. more easy to do.and that tvist is sexy..just need 3 mufflers instead..cone"s are short and perfekt to this desein...

Man your welds are so much better than mine. Luckily mine is all on the back side of the pipe.

I'm not even going to post a pic its so ugly compared to Fly's.
