  • Hi everyone,

    As you all know, Coffee (Dean) passed away a couple of years ago. I am Dean's ex-wife's husband and happen to have spent my career in tech. Over the years, I occasionally helped Dean with various tech issues.

    When he passed, I worked with his kids to gather the necessary credentials to keep this site running. Since then (and for however long they worked with Coffee), Woodschick and Dirtdame have been maintaining the site and covering the costs. Without their hard work and financial support, CafeHusky would have been lost.

    Over the past couple of weeks, I’ve been working to migrate the site to a free cloud compute instance so that Woodschick and Dirtdame no longer have to fund it. At the same time, I’ve updated the site to a current version of XenForo (the discussion software it runs on). The previous version was outdated and no longer supported.

    Unfortunately, the new software version doesn’t support importing the old site’s styles, so for now, you’ll see the XenForo default style. This may change over time.

    Coffee didn’t document the work he did on the site, so I’ve been digging through the old setup to understand how everything was running. There may still be things I’ve missed. One known issue is that email functionality is not yet working on the new site, but I hope to resolve this over time.

    Thanks for your patience and support!

Slip-on silencer suggestions for TE511?

One of the inserts arrived (P-SA014), still waiting for the Eye-talians to even ship the other one...

Anywho, comparison pic between the P-SA004 (top) that comes with the Akra full titanium EVO system, and the P-SA014 (bottom). It's 40+ degrees celcius outside so I'm not bothering with a sound comparison!

Like the sticker ;-) Are you coming to Stanthorp in March for first round of QLD titles?
 
Not planning on it, havent't gotten to the racing stage yet. Sticking to track days as I like not having to dodge wildlife, 4x4's and pushbikes. Most of the other guys are coming up as usual.

Track days are BORING when you first tried racing and Stanthorp is an awesome track and its more like a big bunch of mates getting together then racing. They have a Novice class as well - well more like a track day sorta thing!
And it could be awesom comparing the two SMR 449's

With that attitude you would miss half the riding season in Oregon :-)

40 degrees Celsius ;) (106+ F)
They make those cool jackets that hold water, I think I will try that this summer, see if it helps...
 
Finally taken the bike for a test ride with the insert installed, bike's quieter, still has plenty of power unlike with the SA-004, and has lost the 'wet fart' exhaust note that the uncorked pipe has. Will have to see how it goes at the track in a couple of weeks.
 
Caiman could you give the mouth dimensions of the inset? Would be interested to see if it would fit my Arrow slip-on!
 
TUV077/Ti showed up yesterday and Jase came around on his 449 to test the differences out as I'm out of riding action for a month or so :(

Noise wise from loudest to not so loudest :p going by ear alone;
Open pipe,
P-SA014,
TUV077/Ti,
P-SA004.

The outer diameter of the 077 fits inside the 014 with a mm or two clearance, and the 004 is waaaay quieter with it's relative pea shooter ID size.

Ran the P-SA014 at the track the other day and didn't get pulled up for noise, didn't notice a drastic reduction in power like the P-SA004 so for the time being it's staying in the pipe 24/7.
 
Of the bunch, I like the P-SA014. It's the closest to what I run. My pipe is 63mm in diameter though so if I run it open, it is deafening, even with a helmet on.
 
Does anyone know what a stock 2011 TC449 decibel rating is?
I would like to race it but have to be below standards fo 96.

I havent actually tested one, but Cory Graffunders TXC511 with FMF tested at 96, and Im pretty sure the stock TC is quieter if the stuffing is good.

SPL Meter makes a nice iPhone app that gives the same reading as our official db meter if you want a way to get some readings.
