400/4 Cafe Racer - Videos of New Exhaust System
« on: September 15, 2014, 08:19:42 AM »
First link to open pipe (nice but too loud).  Second link to drilled end cap and baffle refitted.  The exhaust was too quiet with the baffle as supplied.

I like the sound of the baffled pipe.  It might perform better with the baffle (with the additional back pressure).
