Twin Motorcycles Dual Exhaust

[DamMechanic]

Does anyone have one here in the states? How do you like it? And was shipping any problems?
I watched some videos and I like the sound and the looks. I had a Drummer before it it was too loud for me but I want something more than stock. I already have another ECU with a race map.

Hmmm looks familiar :black_eyed:

Is there an existing thread that I missed somewhere?

I think that comment was meant to point out that it looks like a Dean Adams or D&D. Both of which are known for being loud. Dean sometimes pops his head in here from time to time, so maybe he can chime in.

There was an "exhaust shootout" done years ago comparing the D&D, both Drummers, stock and a variety of other exhausts, and the D&D came out on the "loudest" charts and the Drummer on the "quietest" charts

There is only so much muffling that can be done through those two small mufflers with dual outlets, vs one larger chamber with a single outlet.

IMO if you want quieter, you're better off finding a Race muffler, or sending your Drummer back to Kevin and asking him to quiet it down.

I would like a Race muffler but I think it would be easier to find a pot of gold under a rainbow. The Drummer I had was on my first Uly, so I don’t have it anymore. Micron system I would like to find also.

A couple of new ones were just sold on badweb and Facebook. The trick is to be vigilant, as no one is holding onto one because they think no one would want it. Finding a Micron is going to be a lot more difficult than a Race muffler.

You can always email Martin and ask if he even has them available. I was looking at a Torque Hammer a few years ago, until I found out they werent making the model I was looking for.

Ol' Fred Sanford ^^^^ and I have similar taste in loud noises so take his advise to heart.

Yes, I did mean the Twin muffler looked familiar (Keda/APH/D&D), and yes its real loud. The factory Buell Race muffler is nothing more than a stock Buell can thats been completely gutted with an extra tip added, no fairy dust inside. I swear, I have checked myself. Paying more for less, isn't that a Porsche thing? Haha.

IMO, The Drummer with the removable billet end cap, with packing, is louder than stock, and the most mellow, deep toned, and awesome sounding exhaust out there. The similar Hawk exhaust is an empty can, welded end cap, has small tips that sort of 'snap' at you. Rev-Mo.com are fairly loud, but the SuperTrapp option with about 12 plates in it is mellow enough for my old ears.

I recently modded a Hawk by simply adding 2.25" tips. BAM! It got so damn loud I added dB killers, got better but STILL too loud, so I have some perf metal I'll make into tubes and pack it (eventually).

Do you care about keeping the wobbly round muffler jack points? Or do you own a $40 paddock stand? I ask because a sawzall and a welder you can make your own muffler really easily with or without them, its a matter of where you cut.

I wouldnt be suprised is APH makes the mufflers for Twin.

I'm getting ready to send a stock muffler (shut up CoOter) to Kevin for the Drummer treatment once I get it boxed up. I'm going to ask him to build it on the quieter side as "regular" XB Drummers tend to be too loud for me also. Kevin drummeritized an S1 muffler for me and that sounds fantastic, so hopefully he can duplicate that for me this time on the XB.

I need to get off my lazy butt after work and finish boxing that muffler up tonight.

 

[d_adams]

Yes, I still show up here occasionally.

You getting off your butt would be like Cooter on a ride and passing up a micro brewery !

Tonight! I get off my butt and make this happen. 3 weeks of careful planning goes into motion tonight!

Just to add my useless 2 cents. I have a D&D on an XB12R... LOUD and TANGY is the way I would describe it. I'm not a fan of the sound. I preferred the Jardine can that it replaced BUT before you all chime in... Yes it BLEW UP GOOD! Hence the D&D that I got for an amazing price (probably from a guy worried about his hearing). The stock exhaust on my Uly is perfect for my old ears, no one wants to tour for more than 15 minutes with exhaust booming in their helmet. Don't get me started on the Barker on the 1125cr. (GAWD I'M OLD)

I liked the sound of the Jardine on my old XB9. Mine never blew up, though. In fact I saw the bike not too long ago, and the Jardine is still in place 6 years later.

I'll add my useless $.02. The '08 I bought had a hollowed out can with two nozzles. OMG loud, and backfired even louder. And the bike surged badly at cruising speed.

I bought some 'silencer inserts' off Amazon, and stuffed them in - it helped a good bit, but still obnoxious. And still surged.

A buddy (RIP) had a stock can, and he mailed it to me. It took some work (for some reason, the header pipe was too short), but the bike is very quiet, and runs great! I sold the loud can on eBay.

Yep - I'm old. I've got no use for loud pipes - on any machine.

I agree with this. I'm asking Kevin to build me a "quiet" Drummer. I'll glady exchange some hp's to lose some db's.

GET OFF MY LAWN!! Damn kids and their motorcycles....

Can you update us with what you find out? I would also be interested in a "quiet" Drummer setup.

Thanks!

Rather than making permanent changes to the muffler, Kevin had an old 1125 db killer lying around the shop from awhile back that he sold to me. I've received the muffler back but have yet to install it.

Why don't you find the right size freeze plug and drill some holes in it? Start with on large hole in the center. Then drill smaller holes around the circumferance until you have the sound.

We did this back in the day with our cars running straight pipes.

Cool, so you have the Drummer SS and are adding the db killer? Curious to hear what your thoughts are on the sound.
