not sure if there is anything as too loud ! :-)

do you wear ear plugs ? I know my pipes are loud(and certainly not the loudest around), but riding with ear plugs is definitely required - not just for your sanity and concentration, but long term hearing. Otherwise, one of the more technical/mechanically minded members can suggest something I'm sure.

My father recently purchased a new exhaust for his bike, only to find it too loud as well.  He had a muffler shop throw a bit of pipe in there to quiet it down and it cost him $peanuts (they basically used a longer baffle than the optional bit that came with his Yoshimura pipe).

I would imagine you'd be able to have similar luck at your local shop.

FWIW, my Termis are pretty loud too, but they're basically lovely with the earplugs in.  If you're worried about your neighbors, I find the best solution is to first be on good terms, and then make sure you depart the premises post-haste.  ie: don't hang about, go be rumbly somewhere else!  =)

Geez you are an anti-social, social bunch. I didn't know you wore earplugs due to exhaust noise until I rode Jukie's bike ... earplugs are for wind noise.

Gino, first things first ... do they already have baffles or provision for baffles? Is it a full system or slip ons?

I think slip ons ? I took them off , had a look inside . Can see right through .On the inside it has hundreds of holes but nothing running through the centre.

Sounds like getting an exhaust shop to make up some baffles may be the go. Do you have any photos you could post up for our more learned colleagues to guide you?

Wish i could but haven't a clue how ! Who would i take it to in Syd . just want to take the edge off a little without compromising any power

The posting a piccy FAQ:

Thanks for the reminder about the power, I was going to mention the tune of your bike - baffles may or may not have an effect. I would guess that if you are running only the slip-ons it may not have that much effect.

Not exactly from Sydney so I can't help much there ... someone else should be along to help out soon I hope.

ok thanks for that . Got some more questions but i'll save them for later

Slap yourself for even thinking that little alone posting it.

I have CF termis, no baffles, oh sooo loud, love it, the plan is to eventually go deaf, then I dont have to listen to people complaining about how loud my pipes are!!

Gino it just sounds (no pun intended) like you need the baffles that should come with most exhausts.

correct me if I'm wrong (I don't have any baffles or noise reduction device)...but don't you look at the outflow pipe and termi's have a hole on the bottom where the baffle is screwed?

Spider is correct.

LOL! get some arrows, they're loud!

I have the baffles for my termi's in a box somewhere, if you want I can take a photo and post it.
