| | Re: Motor Bicycle Tuned Pipe...One step closer to production! Put me on the short list for the pipe, Andy. I'll wait till Christmas for the cloak and HS button. But I gotta get the tuned exhaust before datz510 or I'll never keep up to him.

| | Re: Motor Bicycle Tuned Pipe...One step closer to production! I have built and rebuilt lots of things, cars, trucks, mowers, and tractors, but only one motrorized bike. I was suprised with how quiet my HT motor is. I suspect that the quietness of the stock muffler is costing horse power. I once complained about the loud pipes on my motorcycle. The salesman said, "If it's too loud, you're too old!" Just like music, the volume of the note isn't necessarily related to the quality of the note. I now have loud pipes on the motorcycle, but the note is sweet also. How much louder is this one over the stock HT?

| | Re: Motor Bicycle Tuned Pipe...One step closer to production! You can install a muffler/silencer on the end of the tuned pipe to quiet it down to close to the stock sound level.
The tuned pipe itself is designed to use the exhaust pulses to help force the intake charge back into the cylinder. That's where the power increase comes from. You can then run a silencer on the end of the pipe to quiet it down a lot. |

| | Re: Motor Bicycle Tuned Pipe...One step closer to production! HI Jstude,
The tuned pipe to me sounds to be about the same loudness as the stock HT muffler....just a little deeper tone....We did a You Tube video doing a comparison in sound levels you could look up....
I have toyed with the idea of taking the output of the silencer and running it into a car (yes car) muffler to see how that affects sound / performance....My thoughts are that it
should be very quiet and the performance would be unaffected since the car muffler is designed to flow way more volume of exhaust than our little engines can generate...Mounting something that large tho may be a problem....Also there are those here that say the intake can be loud too....I guess I'll try one step at a time if I get some free time.
