D&D slip on

I bought the 04 r6 special edition in June. Put a D&D slip on with the elbow and holly $%&*, is it ever loud. I mean LOUDD. :hammer No mods to the engine yet, just had it re-mapped. The neat thing is that the mechanic did the re-mapping right on the dash board. I believe he increased each cylinder setting by 5%. Now i feel a better throttle response along the engine running smoother. :mrgreen: Anyways, This pipe is awesome, just too loud, I'm trying to sell it, any advice. I can't post ads yet - I'm a rookie. :twisted:

Ya, that is always the complaint with D&D is that they are just to loud. congrats on the purchase!

ahhh man, too loud? is there such a thing? .... :hammer They sound soooo nice though.... lota R6s in the area have D&Ds..... and they make me all tingly inside when I hear `em... I'd definately consider one for my next bike

I agree with Drooder there is no such thing as to loud, I just got a full system for my bike can't wait til i get it on if it's as loud as everyone says then i'm gonna love it

I have a full d and d exhaust / header and high mount. The thing really sounds awesome, not to loud and actually has a real nice tone to it. I never really liked the sounds of d and d either but it came with it when I bought it. A friend has a d and d slip on and the thing is just unreal, its to much. All of this is weird becuase you figure that a full exhaust would be louder, but its not go figure.

Yeah, I've heard the D&D, and it's too loud for me. The last thing I want to do is ride with earplugs since I can't hear cars or other shit coming at me. But if you want to sell it, try ebay. I know there's people out there willing to buy em. Blueflame make a good slip on, since you can remove the baffles to change the sound (make it louder, etc.). There's other slip-ons out there that aren't too crazy too. look around in the exhaust section, and I'm sure you'll find what you're looking for or look in the sticky section. there's a list of exhaust links there.

ive heard that alot too..D&D are kool though

Micron is louder and you never hear a word about it, why is that :?:

Louder? hmmmmm thats interesting... cuz they make a fancy highmount setup..... I never really considered em.... \By the way, hammy, I just visited your site for the first time... haha and I TURNED off my mp3s just to listen to that tune... thats fackin GNARLY man.. haha I dig it!!! :hammer

Fagehtabout the pipe, I wanta know how he re-mapped the fuel inj. from the dash? No computer hooked to it ar anything? :jump

Not to quibble with you Hammy but their is guy we ride with who has a D&D on his GIxxer 600 and DROWNS out a dozen bikes on the highway with slip-ons. Even though its only a decibel the Sport Rider exhaust comparison has the D&D @ 105 and Micron @ 104.

so maybe i'm a pussy or what not, but sportrider rated BF Dual Port at 99dBA without plugs and i still have to wear ear plugs b/c ishogudam loud.... hell first time i took it out(was on empty stomach) the hard acceleration was so deep and throaty i almost threw up.... so maybe i'am a pussy :hump :drink

I had a D & D on my 02 R6 and my god was that thing loud. I ride with about 10 other people and on weekend rides when I was lead bike the rear bike could hear my pipe CLEARLY over all the others. If I was going for a ride for more than 15 minutes, I had to wear earplugs to keep my ears from ringing. I recently traded my R6 in for an R1 and I have to say, it was hard letting it go because I loved the sound of it. I have heard the D & D on other 600cc bikes (Honda, Kawi, Suzuki) and they don't sound anywhere near as loud as they do on the 6.

I have an '01 with D&D slip-on damn its loud! I don' mind it too much but it sure is hard to Not draw a whole lot of attention when u open it up. My friend has a two bros carbon on his 600RR and its pretty damn loud too. I think im gonna try out another pipe the next time around. We did some burnouts side by side I couldn't tell how much louder either one was just a whole lot of ringing in my head!

I've got a full D&D system on mine now and i love it, it screams sounds great I haven't heard any exhaust as loud as mine on any bike

I've got a full D&D system on mine now and i love it, it screams sounds great I haven't heard any exhaust as loud as mine on any bike They sound like a Crack Whore smoking a crack pipe, sitting on a two stroke weedeater :cuss :cuss :cuss

That's only til you hit about 165

That's only til you hit about 165 so straight line it sounds good, but when having fun in the twisties, it sounds like a pissed off weadeater? I'll stick with my bf :poke

whatever.....i think the majority of the people in here think that D&D pipes sound cheap and shitty....i know i do.....the best exhaust you can get for you 6, IMHO, is a FS Hindle or Akrapovic.....those two are where it's at.....

Yeah... lota guys don't like the high-pitched scream to the D&D.... I go against that grain, and prefer that loudness.... especially after hearing 19,000 rpm F1 cars... I rather my sportbike sound ilke an F1 car, than a truck at idle.... Just my preference though.

mine sounds great in the twisties as longs as i keep the rpms right i like to rev the hell out of mine

I had a D&D slip on when I had my 01' R6. Yes-my crew and others I rode with always said how loud it was, but also how good it sounded. I Loved it!! I'm considering another D&D for my new 05' R6. Either that, GYTR or a full exhaust. Any experience with full exhausts?

maybe i'm partial because i have it on my bike....But the best sound I've EVER heard at any speed or rpm's is Akrapovic

yea they're too loud. Thought about throwing it on my 2003 r6 but then I heard the akrapovik system. I think the D&D sounds like a honda civic on steroids. To each his own though

maybe i'm partial because i have it on my bike....But the best sound I've EVER heard at any speed or rpm's is Akrapovic AKRAPOVIC :cheers :cheers :cheers

You wanna talk about loud? I slapped a Muzzy slip-on on my bike. When I'm strokin through the gears, that throaty growl puts goose bumps on my skin. I ride with quite a few ninjas (zx10r's and zx6r's) and one has a yoshi pipe that just don't have the scream to compete. Of course, one zx6 has a D&D that is right up there with mine.

I have a D&D and I love it.....I've heard louder pipes. I don't mine being loud, so the cars can here me coming...............D&D :mrgreen:

Is it just me or does it seem like every time somebody gets a D&D slip on, there's a thread exactly like this. Some people say D&D sucks others love it, some say Micron it louder, some say micron sucks. i've just been waiting for some to post www.sportrider.com/tech/146_0410_pipes_clips ....no affense to anbody.....i was just taking notice is all. While i'm here i guess i could set up a pic.... http://damnnet.com/images/DCAM0026.JPG

My 04 i just bought came with the D&D slip on and i like the loudness at high rev. BUT.. it gets on my frigin nerves riding it consistantly for long distance. Off subject.. and speaking of long distances.... does anyone else's nuts hurt after they ride a long time?? maybe i'm just not used to the bike yet.. but DANG!@ it feels like i've been :hump the gas tank!@

yea, i think the D&Ds sound a little to crackily, sorta anoying. my MIG sounds sick, i love it

I love my D&D

i had a D & D when i bought my bike i had to take it off because it was soooo loud nobody wanted to ride w/ me, it was neat though when i would pull up to a harley and be able to out pipe him.....

^must have been a week Harley. :cheers

D+D pipes are for attention whores. Yeah- loud pies are "cool", and all of my suzuki-riding friends have custom straight pipes on their gixxers that you can literally hear coming from 2 miles away. But are you shitting me? D+D's are for people who ride bikes because they look cool and attract attention- the same guys who cause brutal accidents on their bikes because they don't know how to ride them- or they're just too busy listening to how cool their bike sounds underneath their ass to watch the asphault.

I had a D&D full-system on my first bike, a 1995 zx6r. It definitely was loud, but it was a cheap kind of loud, no quality at all. I switched later to an Arrow system, and while it was just about the same in loudness, it definitely had a better quality to the sound. Now I am running a Akrapovic on a 04 r6, and I have to say I think it is by far the best of the lot!
