I have just fitted a SIP exhaust to my PX125 and boy oh boy is it loud, are they supposed to be super loud or have I c**ked something up. It is the chrome version and I was warned by the seller it would be louder than the standard road version but I wasn't quite expecting it to be this loud.

Don't worry, it's because you haven't got it stuffed with insulation;
Sip Says:
"The chromed version is noisier as this exhaust system comes without insulating material. Unfortunately, insulating these exhausts is not possible as the fibres of the insulating material would pollute the chrome bath as well as soak. On the upside, you will be rewarded with classy chrome looks."

yeah, saw that disclaimer myself but was still shocked by just how loud it is, maybe just because I am so used to running around on a bog standard pipe (good increase in speed though)

I have an ordinary SIP Road 2 and it sounds great - not heard the chrome one.
Anyway, loud is good isn't it? - unless you're working nights.
And of course you'll get your shiny pipe noticed.

yep,loud pipes save lives ,or so they say , i think loud/fast pipes save lives as they cant hit ya if your already gone 1/2 a mile further down the road . fitted a chrome road 2 to a mates px200 about a month ago, an we still cant decide wether it sounds like a fart stuck in a jam jar ,or a wasp/ball bearing rattling inside a coke can , but he loves it an so do i ,gives me a 2 minute warning to hide me beer/fags/money before he rocks up.
beware tho that chrome dont last ,my local scooter shop wont stock the chrome ones as they had too many complaints about its short life .my mate reckons as its same price 6 months bling an then b&q barby paint too look like all the rest ,it comes in matt silver or matt black or white an use to be loads better than exhaust paint at half the price .but theve recently changed the can design an by smell the solvent used ,smells like pear drops now,so only time will tell if its still any good. henri
