I've always thought that the loudness of the sound comes from the exhaust, not the fuel delivering system, as fuel delivering is before any combustion even takes place.

Hey man!

 

Could have met you if i did not leave earlier that day at Syed Alwi Rd when you brought your ole bike down for viewing.

 

Back to the thing with the EFI,

 

Not many enthusiats are gonna be happy with the reduced volume....

 

But its still strange... :confused:

What I was told is that stocked exhausts are about 90 dB. Screamin' Eagles are a bit sharper in sound. Problem is Screamin' Eagles are no longer in production.

 

I think that EFI does something to the ignition, so it's quieter. Also meets international standards for emissions. Carburetted Harley's use CV carbs. That's what the salesperson told me. Can change the stock carburettor, but it's going to be a whopping $1,000! Good news is, that's the most expensive item. The rest (e.g pipes or ignition) won't hit the 4 digit figure :sweat:

Hey people...Anyone here knows where to get a pair of brand new 49 state mufflers for a softail? Second hand would be fine too but it totally depends on the condition.

:confused: but Screamin' Eagle slip-on mufflers are still listed in the 2007 Genuine Harley Accessories/Motor Parts Catalogue leh....

Came across an article in last Sat Business Time, was an article about Harleys and Richard was interviewed. He mentioned tat there will b 3 screaming eagle models coming in, RK, Ultra Glide & softail Springer. The cheapest will still cost a whooping S$54k and 1800cc :giddy:

 

The screaming accessories r still availiable but will not come in cheap :sweat:

There was an interview on last Saturday's BT? I better dig it out from the newspaper pile in my office.

 

Screamin' Eagle stuff are never cheap. They enhance performance on Harleys. Anyway, try the bike stock and later try the Screamin Eagles to see if it improves the performance significantly or you'll be the one screaming :cheeky:

When riding in, just go in as quietly as possible. I think it's basic courtesy and respect to fellow bikers and neighbours too.

It simply because they re-tuned the muffler for the EFI model. Probably, you would find some slight change in the honeycomb catalyst material used in the EFI model. To save up explaining the jargons, EFI has a lack of back pressure as compared to carburetor, pressure wave on EFI are minimized. You guys could read up more on this at Harley Davidson official website if interested.

I've been beside a Harley with stock exhaust before.

 

And i thought, wow, when did Honda come out with this new model.

You can't hear anything!

 

Had to look twice to make sure its a Harley.

 

Stock Harley, doesnt sound like a Harley.

Have to pass sound regulation before release.

Normally for new bikes that are shipped in, it'll take a month or 2 to do those homogation (I always misspelled it as homogenous :cheeky: ) things to ensure that they pass LTA's standards. If the bikes fail the test, it's shipped back to that country. Don't worry, I'm sure it'll pass the homogation part.
