Member Contributer Skids Posted September 6, 2015 Member Contributer Share Posted September 6, 2015 Managed to get a 2nd-hand set of Staintunes for my 6th Gen at a great price from a m8 on another forum. OEM mufflers haven't been off since new and needed some persuasion. Staintunes went on easily. Spuds in or out? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Member Contributer Cogswell Posted September 6, 2015 Member Contributer Share Posted September 6, 2015 I run my Remus cans with the spuds out. It seems to give it a lower, deeper tone. And visually, those two large shotgun barrels sticking out the back can't be beat! On the other hand, I've been told that when really on it they can be fairly loud. I try to be respectful around neighbors and in the city. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Member Contributer Skids Posted September 6, 2015 Author Member Contributer Share Posted September 6, 2015 I went for a short blat without any earplugs in to check out the noise and the fuelling. Sounds awesome with the spuds out but I wonder if they'd be loud enough to attract the attention of Mr Plod (the Police). Have put the spuds back in for now.

richieg Posted September 7, 2015 Share Posted September 7, 2015 I have staintunes on my 6th gen and leave the spuds out. Last year I got an advisory on the mot saying bike was a little loud. This year no comment on the exhaust noise. Sounds far better with them out... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Member Contributer Switchblade Posted September 7, 2015 Member Contributer Share Posted September 7, 2015 I can show you how to make it a little louder if you want . Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Member Contributer Skids Posted September 7, 2015 Author Member Contributer Share Posted September 7, 2015 Spuds out on the way to work today. Big grins! I'll probably re-fit them for the MoT, just to be on the safe side, but with them out it does look the dog's danglies. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Member Contributer rangemaster Posted September 7, 2015 Member Contributer Share Posted September 7, 2015 Staintune makes a bigger spud, I have one in my 4th gen to keep the peace with the neighbors. Sounds great, deep rumble, just not as loud as no spud. Kind of takes the edge off. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
adsrox0r Posted September 8, 2015 Share Posted September 8, 2015 Spuds out. I have Remus Titanium on my '08 with the baffles out and she passed MOT no problem. I've given her a hearty squirt past many plod vehicles and none have batted an eyelid. My neighbour is a plod and he says so long as you're not acting like a nob they're not bothered.
