TOO Loud!!!
My TR4 has only a glass pack (Cherry bomb?) and it's quite loud. Also sounds
a lot like an untuned truck at idle. Above 4,000 however, it sings...at
least that's my perception. I've never had to listen to it from anywhere but
the cockpit, so I have no idea what it sounds like to the guy picking up cans
alongside the road. Probably like an untuned truck running at 4,000 rpm. I
suggest some kind of muffler for your wife's sake, if nothing else. I'm also
under the impression that a certain amount of back pressure is actually
helpful. Someone who actually knows what he's talking about can elucidate on
that.
