Anyone have one of these that have tested it WITH db killer, and WITHOUT db killer. Interested if you came to same conclusion as me .

On the Bandit the db killer made it sound close to stock. It was removed and discarded

I have the Yoshi TRS, and I find that not only is the noise is improved with baffle in, but the bike is smoother on the overrun with a bit of back pressure too.  Not a lot in it otherwise, as most of the muffling occurs at the CAT

My bike was done with Arrow pipes, so no catastrophic converter in the mix

Different bikes different results I guess . I had to get a roadworthy the other day on the sv 650 .Its quite loud so I put in the db killer just in case it failed because of it being TOO loud .
As luck would have it ,it refused to start in the morning so I missed the appointment . I pulled it apart to check I had put plug leads back on after compression check ,all good there . Checked for fuel as the gauge doesn't work ,yes have fuel .Battery a bit iffy (as in stuffed) so I cannibalized another bike .Hit button ,bingo ,off to the bike shop in hope of a "no worries i'll do it as you wait " moment .

With in 3kls im thinking what have I done to this bike to make it go so much better.New fuel ,doubtful ,plug clean, they were not dirty .
It was the db killer I had forgotten about .Trouble is I have lost the great sound of a v twin .
If you have one  put it back in and have another go . Bandit may be totally different , in fact I had one in on the way to Tasi before it shot out and nearly
took off Carols head on the Bonnie behind .
I didn't notice any difference so disregard above post .
Oh dear ,that's embarrising . But , if you have a v-twin . Laughing  Embarassed  Embarassed
