Drummer vs. Jardine

[Ben319]

Any thoughts? I am looking to put one of the two on, not sure which to go with...Thanks

Might want to consider the Drumnmer. I had Jardines on and removed them becaus they did not sound as good as the Drummer I have heard when there are other Buells around. I wish I could recommend you to email someone I know that has one but a THERE IS A REASON FOR MY hANDLE OF "lONEWOLF" As I always ride alone....I have heard Drummers before and they sound sharp! Go to their websit and you can hear them and YouTube has a lot of Jardine and Drummer sounds/videos too. Good luck my friend!

Here's a drummer exhaust



Here's a jardine



You make the comparison, to each his own.

 

[Ben319]

the only thing i dont like about the drummer is that you have to send your stock exhaust to them, which leaves me without a ride for to long...i will get withdrawal

 

[dave_xb12r]

^^^^you dont have to. Buy it from ASB and pay for the core charge. When you take your muffler off, you send it back to them, they give you your core back.

 

[Ben319]

just saw that in their website...looks like i will be going with a drummer

I had the jardine, never mounted it on my bike because I heard I would have to repack the pipe in a few thousand miles. DEFINITELY NOT COOL [down]

Sold it and ran with the Buell Factory Race Muffler [up][up] and LOVING IT

Drummer......

i had jardine and took it off then put on a drummer.. much better sound

 

[Midnight82]

I wish I could tell you what I have, but I bought my bike used and have NO idea what I have.

It's friggin loud and I seem to pull away from the other Buellers I ride with.

drummer mufflers are nice but they do have the "hollow" sound to them.

I run my bike rightnest to my GF's bike I have a race muffler and she has a drummer, I love howmine has the deep controled sound, but again that is a race muffler. I am about to buy a 3rd bike which has a Jardine so after I put on a few miles I will decide whether to swap it out for my race muffle or just keep the jardine and sell the race one.

In repacking a Jardine what all is needed to be done???

 

[only1reds]

You have to buy the re-packing kit from jardine (rivets & some other crap).

any repacking kit will do...

I don't have experience with the Jardine, but I can tell you that the Drummer on mine sounds amazing compared to the couple stock bikes I test drove.

I've got a Drummer Original. Sounds killer. Just the right amount of volume.

 

[xtremelow]

I agree the Drummer does sound better than stock but does have that Flowmaster "hollow" sound not the deep bass rumble, more of a throaty ping. Of course this is my opinion.

Anyway did some research on the packing and it seems pretty straight forward even some ways to up the performance using "Oven Rope" then the repacking material to extend the life of the packing job.

Buell oem race muffler or drummer? Which one's better?

 

[03Firebolt9R]

Fresh Rida...IMO, race kit all the way. Thats what I have and I love it.

Can anyone whos had both jardine and drummer tell me which one pops less. I've heard the jardine pops during deceleration...is it the same with drummer?
