hey is their any after market part that i can put on my bike that would make the lower rpms sound louder, or like if i had a exhasut on or something? (im not going to drill holes in the muffler or do any weird mods like that).
how about a playing card and a clothespin?
I thought you put that Ixil exhaust on. Was that not you?
I think it's best to runsilent. :laugh: :laugh: :laugh:
hahahaha get it? Run - silent......hahahahahahahh. :icon_lol:
sorry.... I couldn't help myself.... :dunno_white:
Dude, we should really just take post count offa the page.
right? I am so for that.
Honestly though, I do apologize and will stop.
As for the louder question. you pretty much are limited to buying a new exhaust. It would be cool to find out there was another way .
yeah i was going to buy the ixil but it takes 6 weeks to get here and cost more or less 350 + shiping, way to much and im not going to wait 6 weeks for the exhasut, im leaving the country before that

Being that it sounds as if you do not want to alter your stock pipe by drilling then why not try and find another stock pipe on ebay or the like and modify it by either adding a different can or starting with the drilling method first since it would be easy and if you did not like that then look into adding a different muffler to that set of pipes.
If you are not happy with the changes you can always put your stock pipe back on the bike.
Another way to make your bike make more nosie is by adding K&N pod type filters but you will have to rejet the carbs for this one but if you want low end noise and more noise then the pod filters will give you a new sound.
The down side to pod filters is that in some cases it can cause the bike to not run as well at lower RPM's.
Just buy a Harley with straight pipes and be done with it.
I recently installed a lunchbox K&N air filter, and with my stock pipe and muffler it sounds much deeper, specially at low RPMs when you just open the trottle, it costed $30 bucks, also rejetted for $5...
what year was the lunch box? do i have to make any mods to my bike if i put a lunch box or a pod? and what is the diference bewten the 2. ohh ya i well probably rejet.

ANY changes to the intake or exhaust will require a rejet. So yes, you will have to rejet, as you said you probably would.
Search the terms, but I'm pretty sure that a lunchbox is a square filter that sits atop both the carbs, and is named that because it resembles the little lunchboxes we carried in our youths. The pod-types are different because an individual one sits atop each carb, so there are two.
I think...

Bingo.
could u say that a lunch bow will do the job or do u think a slip on is better
ya but i dont have to make any changes to my bike like drilling the engine or anything like that, so if i dont like the lunch box i can swithc back to my old filter? :dunno_white:
ok here is what u do get a bungee net, go to the pawn shop and get one of those '80's boomboxes find a harley and make a tape of their exhaust. Now use that bungee net and put the boombox on the back of your bike and make sure u push play before you take off down the road

A lunchbox is an air filter, a slip-on is an exhaust.
Do you want performance, or just noise?
^Seems pretty clear to me that he simply wants to MAKE NOISE (must be another one of those pathetic attention-whores), so AJ has the best suggestion so far...
Here's another suggestion: remove the exhaust system completely; you'll save weight and have the loudest noisemaker on the block until the valves burn or the engine seizes... If you don't want something that radical, hacksaw the mufflers off; you'll make plenty of noise, and I guarantee people will notice you everywhere you go, until your GS is impounded.
Lastly, you can trade the GS for a Little Red Wagon, or even a BigWheel, then terrorize everyone on the sidewalks in your neighborhood, which seems to be your ultimate goal, judging by most of your "HOW DO I MAKE IT LOUDER? I WANT PEOPLE TO THINK I'M A BADASS INSTEAD OF ANOTHER IGNORANT NOISE-MAKING WANNABE" posts...
Get a clue, Junior; you're so obsessed with making noise only because you want attention (no GOOD reason to do it), and you'll probably stuff yourself under an SUV within a week, or get yourself pulverized by a firetruck that you can't hear approaching an intersection...
hey i want hp and noise, im trying to lower my 1/4 mile "junior :flipoff:" so i dont need ur help unless u can reall help
I think it's best to runsilent.
If it's hp you want, then you bought the wrong bike. End of story.
BLASPHEMY!! :o
i came here for help not to be put my ideas down, so if u dont got nothing usefull to say dont say anything
8) psst.. ixna on the louder bike talksxa..
Squids aren't taken lightly round these parts. if you mention louder,faster or bling bling, you will systematically judged, raped, chewed on and spit upon.
god forbid you pose GHETTO in pictures. that is grounds for some to suspect you of Shameless plugging.
us squid must never reveal ourselve to the "better" riders in gstwin land. they are savages. (especially the ladies)
lol :thumb:
What's a SQUID?
or does asking this make me a SQUID? :oops:
although w/o new pipes you are pretty much stuck with the whole card and clothespin deal.
Cheap too!

I 'm just being stoopid dude.
read here and you will see where I am comming from-->http://gstwins.com/gsboard/index.php?topic=25257.0
we are all squids to some extent. Unless of course your from the midwest and hate sportbikers. o'course.
Oh oh! :icon_confused:
what should I do?
Would upgrading to a sports bike like an R1 (after my 3 extensive months of riding) save my bacon? :dunno_white:

Show me somewhere in that post that says you're trying to raise HP and/or improve your 1/4 mile time? Asking a question like "How do I make my bike louder?" just makes you look slightly squidly, and like an attention whore, who's looking to get noticed by people, like "Hey, look at me, I ride a bike, I'm cool!"
I'm all for exhausts, I like loud, believe me, I just sold my loud Mustang, and the bike I'm looking at has a Cobra slip on, so I'm sure it sounds nice. But maybe next time you should mention the performance gains you're looking for, not just the fact that you want to be louder. Also, the search function is your friend, as I know this topic as been covered ad nauseaum.
/rant
And galahs.. go ahead and get that Busa... you know you want to be able to wheelie in every gear, at any speed. :laugh:
not one bit.
Sportbikers are automatic SQUID. didn't you know? :o
Regardless of skill and experience. all they want is attention. period. WHy in heaven, would anyone go to the extreme and buy a GSXR600 TELEFONICA RACE REPLICA ? duh? for the attention. :icon_rolleyes: AS IF :icon_rolleyes:
All us midwesterners know this..

Why, do the chicks dig this behaviour? :icon_lol:
I personnall y don't like loud pipes. they are annoying.
but I cannot stand people judging an individual for liking that aspect of biking. not only judging but namecalling and putting them down.
theres no place for that shaZam!. especially on the internet. where its just shameful.
these are the assholes who if you met them face to face and asked them about louder pipes they would smile to you face and act all nice.
But get them on a computer where they can be annon, and the true hateful little selfish bigot comes out.
So I aim to judge the judgmental and spit in their faces. no not righteous. but it feels good anyway. an eye for an eye.
F*ck 'em

Hahaha.. I dunno, but if I ever figure out what chicks dig, I'll let you know. I have a favorite country song called "Chicks Dig It" by Chris Cagle, but uhh.. it doesn't say anything about Hayabusas.
And 3imo, I'm not being abusive. Read my post, nowhere did I call anyone names, or say anything insulting. Just clarifying as to why he won't get a favorable response from a lot of people here about subjects that are A: Pointless (to many, not to all) and B: Ancient history, covered ad nauseaum, easy to find through a search. The reason I say many people will find it pointless is that most people here are about performance tuning. If he'd said he was looking to improve his 1/4 mile, people would have recommended things like a 15 tooth sprocket, slip on exhaust, lunchbox, and rejet. Possibly ignition advance, dropping some weight, etc. All he asked about was making his bike louder, which has been covered an amazing number of time in my short stint here at GSTwins.com.
As for all sport bikers being squids, simply not true. Pablo rides a 600RR.. he's nowhere NEAR being a squid. Pablo takes his bike to the track, and pushes his bike, and himself to the limits (and sometimes beyond, just ask his collarbone :laugh:) I'm going to get a GS soon. I intend to ride within my limits, ATGATT, do any stunting on back roads, etc.
So how about... we uhh.. quit flaming each other, and go ride something. I'm insanely jealous of those of you who can ride. I'm looking at picking up a GS in the next few weeks, if all goes well. Yay!
I'm not really fussed with what anyone does to their bike / car / house / self.
Their choice in my opinion.
Its a truthfull fact though that some people just like a louder exhaust note for what ever reason.
That would be the number 1 reason most "ricers" and "muscle car" owners buy sports exhausts for their cars.
Sure there's the performance increase that comes along with it, but you can have a good flowing exhaust that is quiet. These arn't as popular among this market.
I also guess there could be a saftey advantage in having a louder exhaust especially when driving next to someone in their blind spot.
Either way you choose, each to their own I say.

Don't get me wrong, I like a nice exhaust note. Like I said, I just sold my Mustang, that had a flowmaster on it.. Nothing quite like that burble burble burble you get when you get on the gas. My friend drives a '78 Vette that we've rebuilt from the block up, and the sound it makes is AMAZING (Yay for Florida not having emissions, so we can run what basically amounts to straight pipes! :laugh:)
Like I said, the bike I'm looking at has a slipon. I have no problem with him wanting a louder bike. Some people here will see him as squidly. As for safety, I guess I can agree with louder = good, to an extent. From what I read on here though, the best is to just clutch it in and rev her to 9K or so.. that'll REALLY get a cager's attention when they're about to cream you.
Ok, I'm done with this thread, off to real stuff, like the girls on bikes thread! :laugh:

You, my friend, have a serious chip on your shoulder.
You've posted like 10 times in this thread, and they're all super sarcastic about the people here and their opinions. You're worked up about the squid thing, the curveunit thing, and a seemingly endless list of other topics.
If we suck so bad, leave the forum. I wouldn't suggest anyone just leave this out of nowhere, but you have been posting nonstop about this shaZam! and how everyone here is judgemental and superior. Why stay? These people have guided me through the steps of my first ride to being able to maintain my own bike to being the rider that I am today. They're good people. If our ideas don't mesh with yours, go checkout another forum.

so getting back on track.... :icon_rolleyes:
My bike is loud..really loud...but I put a cbr can on it. I think what alot of people were trying to say was that a gs is never going to sound like a harley but you can definitely make it louder :thumb: It just takes a bit more work or $$ than other bikes. The can i got used off ebay for like $60 my dad made the flange and welded it. Here's the link for my thread on mine, including a sound clip.
http://gstwins.com/gsboard/index.php?topic=22771.msg227959#msg227959
since we are 3000miles apart. how bout I buy you a beer and drink it, and you buy me a beer and drink it. :cheers:

Ya know Dave, I'm gonna have to take you up on that sometime. Also, do you still do speaker application stuff? I may still be looking for some small speakers again.. not sure..
I have an F1 cobra can, used and abused. in ok shape, though. I think I have a link to what it sounds like too. i'll see.
http://media.putfile.com/she-purrs
here is the link
here is the story behind that bike if your interested. its a long read. http://gstwins.com/gsboard/index.php?topic=24409.0
I plan on reusing that can. but might let it go for the right price.
It is a bit scratched though, as you can see the bike was thrashed.
I'll take pics if your interested.

I think we're too far away to throw a beer to one another, so we'll have to do what 3imo said and buy one for each other and drink it ourselves. I have a 40 in the fridge with your name on it, and one with 3imo's name. You guys are getting boozed tonight!
As for the speakers, here is our site:
http://www.cyberacoustics.com/home.cfm
PM me if you're interested in any of these; my price is far below the MSRP.
LAst time I had a 40oz I passed the f**k out. but then again I get wozzy off two longnecks.
I don't drink. not since... the time ...i went camping...have ya'll met jack? :dunno_white:
