more disks=louder

less disks=quieter

if i were u i would tell the neighbours to quit whining and that it could be worse. you could have a cobra exhaust:eek2:

2 disks would make it quiter, but it will also make the exhaust more restricted. You would most likely lose some of your top end power. I don't think I would go as low as 2 disks if I were you, maybe try 5 or 6.

Read your instructions that came with the pipe. I think the lowest amount of disks you can run is 8.

i believe the less the disks the more bottom end / less bottom end, the more the disks the less bottom end / more top end.

You cant really do anything else to a pipe to make it quieter besides replacing it with a quieter one.

You think thats loud? Try running my supertrapp on the 85 XR200R with NO discs and no end cap, now thats loud! But it sounds so sweet! My supertrapp is loud even with like 6 disc in it, but the core is stopped up with carbon buildup and crap, so the packing is useless anyway.

But, less discs= Quieter and more low end while more discs=more top end and louder.

I guess the only other way other than replacing the pipe you might could get some internal pipe baffles like they use on some street bikes that just slip inside the pipe, but I don't know if they make them small enough and its going to hurt exhaust flow.

That sir is why I don't live in a neighborhood, we have 3 3/4 acres I have some small trails in the woods, nobody can say crap to me, its our own property and unless i'm disturbing the peace after 9pm like firing the .30-30 or whatever then nobody cares, I have never heard my neighbors complain, their pretty nice. We don't live real close to any of them either, so its nice and all the houses are seperated by some woods.

I don't think i'll ever be able to live in a neighborhood, they have too many regulations and I most certainly don't adhere to them, they would probably complain about my 85 chevy sitting in the driveway, and it looks nice lol. Some places around here if its anything less than a Benz or Lexus or something the neighbors start to *****.

thats why i really like going to my cabin up north. We have 9 acres of land, and there arent that many people close by. Only once has someone called the cops on us, and that was memorial day weekend a while back when me, my bro and his friends were all up there riding, and our neighbors in the back claimed someone rode a quad across their front property, there were some tracks, but i dont know if it was any of us, or if it was their lawnmower or something?! who knows. That was the only time up there. Where as down where i live normally, i have no place to ride in my back yard, and i usually go to my friends house and go riding. No one complains there to often, other then someone complained one time about the amount of dust that was being created.. Thats why cities suck for ATVs. Sorry for writing a book..
