Don't quote me on this, but I believe Vance and Hines makes a nice system for the Baby G. On the GStwin home page I believe there is even a sound clip of one Baby G modified thus. You love your little GS don't you...and you will grow to love this forum.

I just put my V&H on and it is sweet, really adds to the bike.

Well for one you could buy a hacksaw.  Instant loud!  

Secondly a drill and drill bit can do wonders as well.

But seriously I'd look into the V&H full exhaust system.  You can also check out other companies that make slip ons.  Although there are only so many that make aftermarket exhausts for the GS.

Good luck!

Would it be possible though to just take out the baffle or do something to it? That would wake her up right?

just buy a wileyco can and buy a flange from srinath

[Dom]

Yeah, what Frost said.  It's loud.  Ear-piercingly loud.  Almost too loud at times.

i have welded a trombone to my exhaust.   It can be tuned also, just move the slide up and down. I can post some pics if yall want.

mine was pretty loud.  srinath made me a baffle that helps... but it's still loud.  I live in a townhouse.. and haven't had any complaint... yet...  :dunno:

[Frost]

you can make a baffle for it??

[Frost]

is the baffle removable?...

[se7enty7]

is the baffle removable?...

not easily.  It was kind of a pain to position/install it.  It was a one-off piece srinath made, with parts he had at the time..

[Dom]

It's only loud when you gun it...like over 8500rpms.  It's not loud when you're just putting around town.  I actually like being loud...keeps people from moving into your lane when you are passing them.  I have only had it happen once since I have had the pipe but I was at like 4500 rpms and he looked drunk.

Just drill 5 equally spaced holes in yur exhaust. The ones in mine are from a 1/4 inch bit I think. It gives it a nice growl and a agressive sound. Not too loud @ all. I dont know if there are any preformance gains or losses. But my bike still runs like a top 11,000 miles after the drilling.

To make it quieter ... You can take that baffle out and insert a steel flat bar piece in each of the slotted holes but at varying angles ... or crimp the end, or insert a washer or 2 in the slots ... But too much and you start to lose flow  obviously ...
Cool.

Best thing to make a great deal of noise is a really nervous pillion.
