Man these singles sound like absolute crap (IMO) with the DB Killer out of an expensive slip-on so couldn't imagine them without any muffler! I pity anyone that rides with you and your eardrums. Would not recommend it all.

Put the stock exhaust on with a $70 decat pipe off ebay and be on your way. My $0.02

 

+1 on noise pollution. Bad for riders hearing. Bad for riders companions or passengers. Just bad for business. All riders should wear hearing protection while riding any motorcycle(and helmet) but certainly as a courtesy to other creatures(including humans) be sensible with exhaust note. We riders all love screaming motors, but we share a planet with others that dont share our love of motorcycles and the sound of them. Just my $002

 

I will say I never realized how loud the Remus was after it being on for so long. And I agree I do always wear the ear plugs. It's not so much the exhaust but the wind noise that bothers me.

How loud does the decat pipe end up making the bike?

 

Way too loud IMHO. I always ride with quality earplugs and it was still too much noise. Augiedoggie nailed it- too much noise is bad for you and for your fellow cyclists and humans. I love my LeoVince midpipe- it has a small built in baffle and combined with my Delkovic CF slip-on, it makes a rich, strong sound mid-way between stock and the obnoxious straight pipe. Loud enough to be heard, not so loud as to piss off the neighbors.

Been running no muffler and cat since I got my new 2015. Best $20 mod ever as it was too quiet to ride stock. Here is a long boring video of it on my youtube channel and, on most of my videos of the KTM you can hear the exhaust. I do wear ear plugs to protect against wind noise, but, I like the way it sounds with the cat only, and, I think KTM calls the cat a pre-muffler. I just pass it off as a stock exhaust, like the Buell's. And, it saves a couple of pounds and cleans up the bike's appearance in my opinion.

have you remap your computer or just remove your muffler and run like this?

 

It just sounds like noise. I run mine with the bung in it just to have some peace and quiet while riding. Still does everything I need it to but each to their own and hope you have fun out there on this amazing bike!

 

When i got mine it had a ebay carbon fiber muffler and cat delete, super loud, was going to put stock muffler on catless midpipe but ended up wrapping the silencer inside the muffler with muffler packing and now it sounds good. Not to loud not to quiet.
