Motorbike rumble sound

Featured Replies

Is there a way to make the sound of a motorbike deep rumble?

I recently bought a Suzuki wanwan 200 and it sounds like a mouse!

 

I am new to motorbikes !

You take the exhaust pipe off

drive around annoying the hell out of everyone in the neighborhood...when they complain claim that

"loud pipes save lifes"

 

Or take some of the dampening materials from the muffler...need to cut it open and re weld.

 

 

True. The VanVan with stock muffler sounds like a wet fart.

Try to find an aftermarket exhaust system or at least a muffler, which will not only improve the sound, but will give you a little extra power too. 

Remember the muffler should have the TIS stamp on it or the nice Mr policemen might take your drivers license away and not give it back until a "fine" is paid....sometimes they'll take the bike too. :o

I would say the chances of that happening are very low, but it depends on where you live really.

In 11 years with a multitude of modified bikes, I got fined only once (1,000bht) for a loud/modified muffler. 

I have a VV125 and love the stock sound. Nice and quiet. But on this bike it will be very easy to change/modify the muffler.

In Pattaya/Jomtien they are always on the lookout for an excuse for "fines" there have been lots of reports of bikes taken to the police pound "modified" exhausts removed.

I myself was fined for having a "modified" wrong colour headlight....it was slightly blueish instead of the normal yellowish....

another thing to watch out for is not having the pilion footpegs folded up if not carrying a passenger.

And not carrying a copy of the green book.

 

 

Get a metal spike and push into the exhaust. When you feel the baffle plate hit it with a hammer and make a small hole. If not loud enough, enlarge the hole.

Like this

 

And you will still have a TIS stamped exhaust that rumbles :smile:

I wonder what would happen if you put one of those exhaust whistles on a bike?  The ones that some annoying pickup drivers install.  Maybe there aint enough backpressure for it to work?

 

It sure would be annoying..... up there with those trucks that drive around advertising 'stuff' at full noise.

 

Perhaps you could get in touch with Fords Mustang department, they now have sound packages to enhance the engine 'noise' to the delight of your neighbours.  But after hours I think its suppose to be on stealth mode.

 

Im sure someone could rehash one of those 80's clip on bicycle grips that released a ROAR when you twisted it..... you could try a cats tail, but I dont think the cat would be too happy.  Maybe something from Tiger kingdom (Chiang Mai) would give a decent roar but you'd probably only get to use it once.

 

The possibilities are endless....

Wow, a Farang trying to behave like one of these moronic Thai teens with their loud exhausts driving around and piss..ing people off. What's next for this wanna be, riding with no helmet??? Clueless tos.spot.

All I can say to the OP... Your an idiot!

<deleted> do you want to disturb the neighborhood!

I believe at one time, maybe still, the Goldwings sold in the USA had a plate with a small hole in the pipes that helped restrict the engine due to the build of of exhaust pressure, same idea of a steel rod big hammer and you got more performance and not much increase in noise.
