Exhaust popping

Recommended Posts

hi all, i really want my pipes to pop crackle and bang on deceleration, ive seen others that do it... i ride a suzuki intruder 1800 I've got cobra dragsters, but they dont do it. Tried different filters, debaffled, no joy, once my bolt come loose form the exhaust flange which created an air leak, at the header, the bike done it beautifully then. But obviously a lot of heat coming out... so not ideal, any other suggestions on how to achieve this?

You have discovered how to do it and that is by introducing air to the exhaust on over run


Normally you have a secondary air system which does this for emissions suzuki call it a P.A.I.R valve


Have a check to see if yours should have one and see if its been removed

So to clarify, do i want it blocked off? Or do I not lol, having a quick read it saying using blank plates will help prevent popping exhaust, so im assuming I want it free?

Yes you want the air going in so it all needs to be fitted and working

This post has made me smile . I've seen many posts , on the Harley Davidson Forum and others where folk get really concerned about how to prevent the dreaded Decel Popping . And yet here is a bloke who wants to actually achieve Decel Popping . I'm kind of with you on this . My Harley pops a bit , my last ER5 was like a firework display and many other bikes I've owned have done it .The best one was my GSX 1100 ET with a Vance and Hines megaphone of an exhaust. If I had a bike that didn't do it I'd certainly miss it . I'll have a word with my neighbor with the 1600 Marauder and ask if he gets any popping with completely unbaffled pipes .

True :thumb:


I really enjoy riding the pan and hear the whistle the engine makes :)

Not to count that pedestrians actually look at me passing by and I don't see fury in their eyes ;)

May I suggest that anyone who thinks the loud pipes are somehow safer, goes on an advanced riding course if you want to be safer.

 

What's safer then - an advanced rider with loud pipes or an advanced rider with quiet pipes?!

I ride a quiet bike and a louder bike. I get more thumbs up from motorists on the louder bike. What they don't like is how a quiet bike suddenly appears from out of nowhere. I get more aggression when riding the quiet bike, and more co-operation on the louder bike.


But there's a difference between pipes that have presence and pipes that are just plain obnoxious. Loud pipes save lives is not an excuse to be a nob.

I think it depends. Those with "advanced" riding/driving qualifications who go just go about their business might see a benefit from louder pipes.


Those with "advanced" qualifications who bang on about it ad nauseam are likely to get little benefit as other road users will see the all encompassing glow of their self righteous smugness from some considerable distance, thus rendering the loud pipes superfluous.

I don't think they are safer , I think they are great ! If you want to ride with a stick up your arse go ahead . I've ridden several hundred thousand miles on all kinds of bikes mostly with loud pipes and I'm still here . It doesn't get much more advanced than that .

It's the special aura that advanced qualification riders have. Us lesser mortals just don't have it.☹️

People are generally annoyed by motorcycles just because it is motorcycle. In Austria when they started research in order to limit access to some roads for motorcyclists, majority of interviewed people said they were just annoyed by bike presence.

Than we have helped a lot by super loud pipes. Anyway I manage to ride just around one hour without dB killer, after that I can’t here myself. Therefore dB killer stays in.

Popping and backfiring, I don’t care, I just enjoy to ride not to listen.
