i know its been all over this board but i was just wondering if anyone out there has any personal, or knows where any sound clips of exhausts for a 500r can be found. I know that a main factor in buying a new exhaust is its sound and tone. I just got a 00 500r and am wondering what exhausts sound like on it.

does anyone have any sound or video clips for these exhausts.

(1) Jardine 2:1
(2) H & V 2:1
(3) Sarachu slip-ons (other than http://www.keycruncher.com/ex500/mods.htm )
(4) cobra f1 or f1r slip-ons

any other exhaust sound or video clips?

im just trying to shop around for sounds, and all ive seemed to find lead me to the 2 exahusts at http://www.keycruncher.com/ex500/mods.htm and i was just wondering if anyone knows af any other soud or video clips that would be helpful.

thanks a lot.

I've heard that the 500 sounds bad with aftermarket pipe. I disagree...

I have the V&H 2-1 exhaust on my 500R. Been trying to get sound clips that were decent, but every attempt has failed. The recording always sounds like a very ticked off 500cc dirt bike :lol:

If I get a chance before she goes up for her winter hibernation this week, I'll make another attempt for ya. Maybe I'll have better luck with the camcorder.

Edger at Speedbike Racing that sells the Sarachu slip-ons sent me a link to three videos he took of them on his race bike.

Can hear it best on the third one. Other two, as he has no air filter box his carbs are very loud.

can anyone describe the sound of the cobra f1s?

 

[orangemug]

what iv been told is u get way u pay for and those r close to $200 so :?

the guys told me at my kawi dealer that i shouldnt even waste my time thinking about the cobras.

but then the only option after that would be sarachus at nearly $300 which i refuse to spend $300 on mufflers that dont produce any hp, and on a bike that i dont intend on having for many years to come.

V & H setup or the Sarachu slip-ons

thats the only way to go.
