Loud GS Storm

[FlyinRazorback]

My Storm is way too loud. Any suggestions on a good pipe/manifold combo too make it a little quieter without getting too expensive? My neighbors would be very appreciative. Sounds like I'm running a 125cc dirtbike every time I run it.

Take it to the same parking lot ElPirata did........

LOL!

Try putting a plastic tube over the exit stinger on the pipe. Extending the exit port will quiet your beast down a lot. The longer the tube the less noise. You may need to re-tune a bit, it will cause more backpressure. You can get plastic tubing of different sizes at your local Hardware store. I have seen people us up to 10 inches with the end zip tied to the shock tower. Cost $1.00-2.00. You can also get exhaust deflectors at the LHS. $4.00-6.00

That would work, but the quieter your pipe gets, the more performance you will loose. The pipe is open and is very loud because it is very free flowing, which is meant for performance.

So true,
No such thing as a free lunch. Make a choice.
Im sure you can find a good mid point.

I put a .21 CVEC on mine...it's MUCH, MUCH quiter now!

That stock pipe is outrageously loud!

[FlyinRazorback]

Retread, what happened performance wise when you changed pipes? Low, mid, and top end?

[Retread316]

It has more power accross the board. Low end all the way up to high end...it screams (although much quieter)...

You can also try insulating the out side of the pipe this will deaden some of the noise coming from the pipe. A cvec drag pipe will also run quiter then the stock pipe.

Umm....it was free.

They go for about $50.00

Not a single laugh about the El incident???? Geesh....

I try ONCE to be funny.......

[FlyinRazorback]

Oh yeah, El Pirata's incident was funny......um, how did it go again :rolleyes:

[Çh®i§tiªñ]

Where has he been hiding anyways? Havent seen him nearly as much. Hope all is well with him.

I guess he was running in a parking lot and a car ran his maxx over Bad bad bad.....

[FlyinRazorback]

The first day I had my Maxx out I was running it up and down my street. I live in a cove so I had plenty of room there, but no, I had to take it down the street. So I'm trucking along thinking "man, this is great" then wham! right into the gutter. The only gutter on the street at that. Needless to say, my Maxx was one day old and had blue RPM shock towers and A-arms. It even shattered the servo casing?!?! Figure that one out. To make matters worse, some neighbors were out watching me and one of them said "Look's like you'll be taking the bus the rest of this week." Yep, I was a little embarrased to say the least.
