Exhaust observation from the elderly

[Huntndogs]

I guess at 57 I am officially old 😀 I had purchased and installed the EVO exhaust after hearing other Talon’s with this can. Sounded great until I did a 50 mile high speed loop with friends in the desert. My head throbbed from the drone at speed even wearing a helmet. I decided to return to stock and sold the EVO to a buddy who is racing. Just making forum small talk, anyone else do the same?

I like quiet!

50 must be to old too. I would like to make mine quieter 😆

I made that transition around 40, after straight piping a diesel and then taking a road trip.

But I never did like noisy off road machines; I like to see some wildlife when I can.

@Smitty335 it is never quiet with all those voices in your head! 🤣

 

[JMynes]

I know the voices in my head are not real, but sometimes they have some pretty good ideas.

I think Honda nailed the exhaust sound on the Talon, with the 270* firing order, it sounds like a big block Chebby chugging thru the woods and across the desert vastness. 😍

I like the Pioneer to be quiet too. I'm becoming that guy that can't stand loud blaring music at ballgames...I like to hear myself think.

 

[Huntndogs]

Okay, thanks gents…I just needed to make sure I wasn’t becoming a “Get off my lawn” grumpy old bastard. 😀 Looks like I am normal (somewhat)

I to enjoy the quietness of my pioneer compared to my rincon and rubicon. I have drove by white tails with in 20’ and they just look at me while I ease by, like they can’t believe the pioneer is so quite. But when on the rincon or rubicon, it’s white tails up lol.

It’s what keeps me coming back..

When I was in my Teens I swore I’d never have quite or an automatic transmission. At this point I don’t want anything to to with either. I loved the sound of the big block and my modified Harley with near straight pipes (that’s was just a few years ago), now I’d like to hit in the head anyone near me wicking the throttle or taking off from a ridiculous dead start with as much gas & loud as they can, it just sounds so different outside the vehicle eh 🤣

Haha! I would agree that too loud makes for a miserable time during a ride. Over the last few years, we have had a lot of threads about how to make various machines quieter.

I guess the quest for quiet comes with being a little older. I don't have a Talon but a Pioneer 1000. Instead of replacing the muffler, I just installed a bigger tip, for me it's just right on loudness, especially on longer rides.

i like quiet. im not old but i feel like it lol! i had my days of loud stuff. i wear earplugs when i ride, then its just the whine of the gears and the ringing in my ears. its quite peaceful actually.

The stealthy quiet of Honda’s is the way it should be. There’s no need to wake all the karens in the neighborhood.
