Noise reduction for exhaust question?

[Skrpnch]

I wanted to quite my exhaust down so I can hear the motor for noises. Does anybody have any tricks to make some slip on silencers for the pipes?

I think I may hear a small clanking at the bottom end but, the mufflers are so loud I cant tell.

You could also stuff the cans with steel wool. Though it might be a bitch getting it back out.

Friend of mine made me these kind of noise killers for my Nikko slip-on's.
This redused the sound level by 5 db's (from 98 to 93), so I can drive on the track again and also can hear the mechanical noises that the bike makes

I have some slip-in "DB-killers" brand junk. I'm not impresed, and never used them.

I always wanted old-fashioned snuff-outs. They are like the butterfly in yuor throttle bodies, but have a hole in the middle. A spring-loaded cam-nut slides on the square end of the shaft, and makes it 'click' against the round shape of a pipe to stay open or closed. Very very handy. But cops just loved to be big-shots and show off that they knew what they were nd write tickets for them. Personally, I thought they were very civic-minded, allowing you to quiet down at night in residential neighborhoods etc. The police don't see it that way.
