Exhaust note.
 

Why does the exhaust of a newer bike sound so much better than ours? Anyway I can give mine that same note?

not sure i know what you mean by sounding better??

well you know just more constant. my bike is in perfect running order but my friends 600rr sounds... i cant describe it just better!

three words... Electronic-Fuel-Injection

this is not always true. sept maybe with the efi. i think my bike with leovince sbk sounds wayyyy better than my buddies 02 r6 with a way more expensive yosh pipe

are you talking about the intake sound?? or exhaust?? i know you said exhaust but all stoke bikes sound the same to me but i do hear more intake sound on the newer bikes..

Ahh! Exhaust sounds. It is what it is all about. From Nascar to F1, to Drags to Air races, the sound of exhaust is what brings the whole package home. But, what about horse races?

Anyway, newer bikes sound sharper because the engines are better, the fueling systems are more efficient, and the pipes flow more. Many parts of the engine make the "sound". Even slip-ons change the exhaust note. The baffle arrangement, insulation, material of the can all change the effect.

The old bike drag team of Vance and Hines used to put weight in the carb slides to make the motor drop revs as fast as it made them. It was only for the pits as it made no difference WFO on the strip. It made the fans happy.

Enjoy the sound of your motor. It says who you are.

other then intake the new ones sound the same as the older bikes...to me anyway
