Well my un-baffled titanium can seems to have a fair bit of life left in it yet.

Yup my unbaffled akra seems to be doing just fine and it's still the 1st thing I change from stock on a bike
Remember: If in Doubt use Full Throttle, It may not make the situation any better, But it will end the suspense...

Re: Poll: Have loud pipes had their day?
I personally don't like loud pipes. I find it too intrusive while riding. I prefer it slightly quieter as when your in town with buildings a'll around ya it starts to hurt my ears. I have just added a baffle to my can, I haven't test ridden it yet so don't know what it quiet sounds like but I can imagine it being a lot more relaxed sounding :-)

I love the noise my 748 makes but i wouldn't want the Multi to sound the same. Noisy pipes are too much over a long day of riding.

Re: Poll: Have loud pipes had their day?
I must be getting old as I don't like over loud cans. I have the baffle in mine as the can is so small it has limited noise attenuation and was too much when riding all day.
