Hi. Welded baffles from 2017.
I have a rallye 2017 and looking for a exhaust that makes a bit of noise .
No way am I going to pay 500 to 800 for a pipe with a welded baffle in.
Can imagine all the exhaust pipe company's losing a lot of income due to that.
So what can be put on without a baffle?
Hi smogbob
Well the last one sounded the best ,as for others ,not much different.
Must be some good UK ones out there for sale.
Guys, I fitted my Akrapovic exhaust on the weekend to my 2018 Rallye. Here are some soundclips - there isn't a HUGE amount of different on idle and gentle rev'ing, but out on the road sounds great and especially when down-shifting using quick-shift...

Incidentally I have left the baffles in.....but that could be another clip with them out!!! just scared dropping the bolts when putting them back in if it was too much for the ears!!!
Thoughts or comments welcome as always

Standard Can noise ample enough on a long journey even with earplugs . I also live in a noise sensitive area no point in winding up the local residents .
Out here in rural Ampshire A32 A272 being the nearest main bike roads Around Loomies bike Cafe, the locals are pissed off with excessive loud exhausts and bikes with them being regularly wound up disturbing their peace and quiet . Which in turn increases the frequency of the camera vans being deployed as fun monitors . A few idiots ruin it for everyone .
Personally I prefer the go quietly and carry a big stick approach rather than be the centre of unwanted attention .
Nice vids, im gonna get shot down, but I really like the stock silencer......
I know what you're saying Smogbob, now I've removed the stock silencer I miss the looks.... However I prefer the sound of the Akra..... Tricky!!!!!

I’ve been riding around on my GSA for the past 3½ yrs with an Akra fitted so have got very used to the noise it makes. I’ve just put the standard can back on in readiness to trade bike and, to my ears, the standard can is not really any quieter than the Akra! I actually think the standard can sounds a bit crisper. They do sound a ‘bit’ different but there’s not much in volume differences.
When I get the new bike I’ll see how I feel about putting the Akra on it, or selling it?!
