Default Exhaust Website.

Hello everyone.

Years ago an instructor of mine at MMI showed us a web site that you could put in the year make and model of your bike and then choose an exhaust that you might be looking at getting for your bike. Once you pick your setup you can hit play and hear what the exhaust is going to sound like at idle and reved up. It might also show HP specs too im not sure. Has anyone ever heard or know of this site. I dont remember for the life of me what it is and cant seem to find it. Any help tips or leads would be greatly appreciated. Thanks!!!!

Not sure of the website. But anything you hear on the computer may not sound exactly like it will on your bike. And really no two bikes will be exactly the same. There will be slight differences in the sound

Why bother, listening through your cell phone or computer speakers, won't come close to real life. Go to a bike night or something like that and check out what people are running.

Too many variables on computer audio. Also whether the bike is free revving, under load, where it’s mic’d, etc. The only way to know for sure is to listen to it yourself, live and in person.

Boy, ain’t that the truth. Shame I’m too cheap to replace the ones that were on my Dyna when I bought it.

Its not for me, a buddy of mine is looking to do exhaust on his bike, (Ducati) I know of some good exhaust brands for imports but i figured he could take a look for himself and figure out what he wants.
