Sounds like a bunch of butt dyno's at work here. 


Leo Vince with the insert is the same dB as stock.


I don't believe that ,  nothing is as quiet as stock , nothing !
It's the same design as many others fiberglass packers , how could it be the same as stock ?
I was looking and found a set of used  Leo Vince ZX muffs because it was said how quiet they were till I heard them with out the insert, that is why I got the Two Brothers and the smallest insert of the four that they make.
Have you ever saw how restrictive those Cats are in the header pipe  :o, when I saw how small those holes were I had a welding shop cut the collector open and remove them , They are ZX headers but I believe the stock header has the same, I did not check the stock header,  I'm sure they help with the sound but believe me between the cats and the stock monster muffler they hurt HP over 5,000 rpm    by 5-6hp easy.

Area p or Leo Vince and I might add that my Delkevic with the insert is comparable to these.

Muzzy=loud
Two brothers=louder

Yes, I have had both. I have not owned the Area p but heard it on another c14 personally and it is not too loud.
I have also had the Leo and sold it because I didnt like the sound but it was quiet.

LeoVince titanium or carbon: it's the only one legally approved in Italy, thus its sound is in the limits.... but far better than the stock one!  ;) :D

Fixed that for ya Max.  8)


Actually reminds me a bit of the old Electrolux canister vacs.




HEHEEH
trry finding one of those puppies lately.... :'(
I have been looking for a nice one for the last 2 years, and they are being hoarded up by collectors. $$$$
All I wanted was the "Electrolux" chrome trim and lettered back plate for "addition" to my shortened stocker...but can't find one in good shape....

the model in question was the "XXX" triple-X :-[ 8) ;)

Now you just have to be prepared to re-pack them before others may need it, Two Bros is known for using pretty sub par packing material.

The Leo Vince comes with the sound tip installed.  No, it's NOT as quiet as the stocker and yes, the bags do block some of the sound to the rider.  Not a scientific study, but Leo, Remus, and Staintune tend to be the quieter aftermarket systems - just my opinion.

Yeah your right , I bought some for $17.00 when I purchased   the dual  mufflers for $150.00 , I guess I got ripped off then also , In about ten years I might get to use it, ::) and it might take ten minutes per muffler to install.
 I read it on the internet It MUST be true...
IF you have a two cyl motor(HD ect.) you will need to replace packing more often , but NOT with a four cylinder, which  most C14's are ;)

Never said you got ripped off my friend, but the packing is a big reason why you need a sound suppressor for a 2 Bros to be tolerable for many folks. And I never read what I said about the packing on the internet.  ;)

I know it is not a big dollar slip on but my Delkevic sounds great, especially for under $200.00.  Not loud at all.

I'm thinking I want to pick one of those up. I have my flies out with a power commander and stock exhaust. Does anyone know if Fuel Moto has a map for these pipes yet? On a side note, anyone on the fence about doing the Guhl reflash or taking your flies out with a PCV...well... get off the fence!! You don't know what your missing!!

Sorry SoP, you may have missed the question, your link was definitely about 'slip off's' not slip ons.  Thanks for the link anyway.

Remus Hexacone Titanium here. Quite, far from obnoxious, great sound that is not tiring at all on the super slab, and clears its throat with a great growl when visiting the illegal side of the rev counter (<5k rpm). I like my bike twice as much since I fitted this thing...  :chugbeer:

If you have gone that far , go to a ZX forum or www.craigslistcrawler.com you will find cheap ZX headers, less than a $100. have the OZ plug  for Auto tune installed remove the cats and you got the best map possible ( how do you thing GUHL got his map ;) ) Used ZX mufflers are EASY to find once again a little search and you've just added the most HP you can with out a TURBO. ;)

That's why I said the sound level is the same dB with the insert.  Just because the tone is different doesn't mean it's louder.

Love my Leo Vince. Only complaint might be the price. I run it with the insert, but have run it quite a bit without. I like the tone in both cases. I "feel" that it is slightly louder than stock even with the insert, but it's really the tone that I like.

Every Two Brothers that I've been around was loud.
Same for the V&H CS One (even though I really like the look of them and almost bought one).
