Quietening a TY175 exhaust

Featured Replies

So, last weekend I picked up a TY175 which only needs a little fettling - one item on the list is the noisy exhaust

 

I'm getting a used one-piece silencer, which will get re-packed before it goes on, but I'd like to make the bike as quiet as possible - is there anything extra I can do that would help?  

 

Can I add a small extra silencer to the end or anything like that without messing up the performance?

The standard tail silencsr was always a bit loud.  In recent years I had one with an alloy system consisting of main and tail silencers.  Still a bit noisy really - certainly not as quiet as a modern bike.  I don't think you will get the sort of noise reduction you seem to be looking for.

 

 

Wes did a middle silencer that didnt need a rear, well back in 83-84 and i bought n used it as it was quiet n offer more performance.

It's a used Wes single silencer that I'm getting, though the new ones are described as sounding "crisp"

 

I guess I'll just have to get it on there and see how it goes!

Yes, "crisp" is probably a good description of the noise you'll get. Not at all the quiet and soft tone of a lot of modern bikes.
