#Vance and hines slip on mufflers brackets mod
Then I switched out the stock intake for a Caddman Mod then swapped The intake was also almost totally stock (except forĪ K&N stock replacement air filter) for most of that time. Was a great setup for more than 50,000 miles. It added a bit of rumble without adding much (if any) volume. It was a pass through pipe thatĬompletely replaced the goat belly. Going down the road (I'll try to get a DB reading of a stock Nomad and add it to the page).Īt nearly zero miles I removed the goat belly (catalytic converter) in favor of a which Sounds above 80 decibels are considered potentially hazardous depending on length of exposureĪs it came from the factory the Nomad is a very quiet bike, some say it sounds a little like a vacuum cleaner Here's a scale of sorts so you can judge the actual sound levels ġ40 db = firearms, air raid siren, jet engine (considered painful)ġ20 db = jet plane take off (considered deafening)ġ10 db = model airplane (close) (considered extremely loud)ġ00 db = snowmobile, chain saw, pneumatic drillĩ0 db = lawnmower, shop tools, truck trafficĨ0 db = alarm clock, busy street (considered very loud) To hear V&H Baggers modified with longer baffles and fiberglass packing.Īs sample at left this audio was recorded differently than those showing waveforms and can't be compared to them. This audio was recorded with microphone 6 feet from rear fender pointed directly at rear of the bike so reallyĬan't be compared directly to other samples To hear V&H Baggers as they come out of the box (stock baffles) Stretched baffle with Silent Sport Packing Stock Vance & Hines packing w stretched baffle (mellower) Will sound exactly like the real bike but you can use these It's unlikely the sound from your speakers Everything was recorded at exactly the same level.Īs you'll hear in the sound sample and contrary to what the numbers show, the " Silent Sport" packing is quite a bit quieter to the ear at highway speeds (under load)īut seems to have a bit more bark when rolling on the throttle than the standard packing material. Has been stretched seven inches from the one supplied with baggers so you can safely assume the numbers shown areĬlick the waveforms below to hear each track. 'is' a direct comparison between straight pipes and baffles modified in various ways. Scale (most akin to what the human ear hears). On the same tripod with the microphone was a Radio Shack decibel meter set to the "A"
What you see above are waveforms recorded digitally on a Sony Minidisk recorder/player with the microphoneĪ standard distance used by the DOT and many police agencies to determine whether you're exceeding the 85 decibel If you want to skip the preamble, sound comparisons and explanations goĭirectly to the ' baffle extension fix' or to ' Wompus'īaffle mod' or to the super simple ' no welding slip on' just click the On this page you'll find three ways to quiet the V&H baggers. Much to do with my opinion that Vance & Hines Baggers are just too loud for a touring bike like the Nomad.Īfter a couple of hundred miles you'll be able to trace your headache and general fatigue directly to the pipes. Now, there's no getting around it, I'm beginning to add on some years but I really don't think it has all that I've heard it said (by my sons I'm pretty sure) "Dad, if it's too loud you're too old".
