How does the D & D pipe sound? I'm still on the quest for the right pipe for my Bandit project.

I haven't heard another bandit with another pipe so I have nothing to compare it to... but I do have my opinions...

I don't really think it's all that loud until you really get on it. WOT and there going to hear you coming 3 blocks away if not more.

Cruising, it's not all that loud unless you try and pass somebody. While cruising you can hear the pipe but it's not the eardrum bursting sound you'd think you hear.

Around my little college town there are tons bikes most of which are 600's. More then half of them have some aftermarket pipe or another but none of them have the deep sound that comes from the D&D/Bandit. It can be loud but mainly it's a deep rumble compared to the others that sound like your shaking a coke can with marbles in it at super-sonic speed.

If you want me to I can try to take some recordings with my camera... the sound should work... it might give you a better idea. Just let me know.

BTW... I'm sure my neighbers would prefere me to put the stock pipe back on... I have an 8'o clock class that I sometimes ride the bike too... using the choke... it's not incredibly quiet...

How do you think they'd feel if you were riding to work everyday and leaving at 4AM?

Luckily when I leave everyone is already at work so I just wake up the dogs. If I did have to leave at 4am then I'd def go with the stock pipe. Then again, I'm not committed to anything since I don't have a jet kit yet.

I guess it just depends how considerate you are and how much you hate your neighbors

FYI - I just got my entire frame and swingarm powdercoated satin black in Houston fro $205. It is not as high as you think. I would think the headers would be much cheaper.

here are a few pics at the bottom of this link

Sorry for the hi-jack! deepink, What kind of forks do you have on that bike?
