Just got my full LV Ti system, any thoughts on which is better, fire season long gone and no one to check anyway! I was wondering about performance issues and JB settings if they were different.
I have the longer db killers in my dual slipons. They didn't come with it; I ordered them from LV. They are significantly quieter, and I can't tell one iota of difference in the power profile. The JD tuner settings seem to work the same either way. A while back, I had read an extensive blog post by a guy that swapped the db killers in and out of an LV muffler, on a dyno. It was a different bike (I forget what model), but from the pics, the basic can and insert design were the same as our bike's. He got zero difference with or without the inserts.
The only thing holding me back from a LV setup was noise... Any experience with the DB killer noise wise vs without? Mekanik- I'd love to know what you find after the install...
The pipes are much nicer with the db killers (which also have spark screens, BTW...part number is 303740603R). The bike is quieter and the sound is smoother and less harsh. I really like these mufflers with these inserts. Not cheap...retail is $25 each, but they'll give you 20% off if you beg.
I have the full TI LV exhaust with the db killer and like it. Very quiet but still has a little bark if you hammer it. Much quieter then the FMF I had.
just installed the LV single, I'm trying the db killer for now, I like the sound, as mentioned above it is marginally louder than stock untill you grab the throttle, I never-seized the db killer well so I can try the spark arrester later.
