renegades, how loud!!

Post by leebex » Tue Aug 14, 2012 8:56 pm

last weekend I picked up a pair of renegade cans through ebay, fitted them today, and took it out for a spin to get fuel. Jeeeeesus theyre loud, Im used to a loud ish sv650, but these are on another level.

I thought they had no packing at first,but as harsh as they are, I do quite like it, good job I dont ride far each day,although wether the neighbours will be as keen as I am.

The TRX being a 270 degree cranked twin does `boom` somewhat through ANY race cans with straight through absorption tubes. Remember your SV650 doesn`t move as much `air` as a TRX when it breathes out being two 325cc pistons. :wink:

I had some renegade cans and found them very loud.
I tend to ride with db killers in cos that takes the edge of whilst still getting the bike boom!

Swapped my standard cans for a pair that been 'bafflectomied' :D
Swapped those for a pair of MTC cans with dB killers :D :D
dB killers now on the shelf in the garage :D :D :D
I do have to be a bit careful with the throttle until I'm off the estate :(
... but on the open roads :shock: =D> :twisted:
Rubber side down, Red side up is my preferred riding style.

I'd love to but I don't think I'll find another import with the red frame for a while, and it'd have to be an import just because, well, just because :D

getting used to it more as I use the bike daily for work commute. I doubt I`ll get some db killers, but the "competion use only" does need removing :P

Anyone know if cans only generally need bigger jetting?

A standard trx runs a bit rich so freeflowing cans usually make it run better without any carb jiggery pokery at all.

Remus cans on mine. Not sure which models - came with the bike but loud enough to set off car alarms as I found out by accident outside Lincoln cathedral a few weeks ago - didn't go down too well with a few locals..... :oops:

They roar when I give it beans, they rumble when I ease off. =D> =D> =D>
