When I took delivery of my GSA1200 last year,I picked it up with the Akrapovic can in situ,but with the baffle out.

I never fitted the baffle,as it sounded great,not too loud and went just fine.

A few months ago I fitted a new Remus Y-piece.

The bike felt even quicker but was now alot louder,with a much deeper,boomy tone.

It is bordering on being too loud (I must be getting old),and as I'm off on a 2000 mile trip back to Germany in a few weeks,I decided to stick the baffle back in this afternoon,and see what it was like.


Boy,what a difference.

It now sounds similar to how it did with the baffle removed before I fitted the Y-piece,and it seems to be quicker,which I can't fathom out,especially considering the shape of the baffle and how it must affect the passage of the exhaust gases.



Has anybody dynoed their bikes with a similar set up to mine ?
 
Didnt know a Y piece was available for the 1200s... without replacing the downpipes.... or was that what you did???
