How loud is a TD 2.5 or 3" SuperQuiet?

[Eric4440]

First of all I really appreciate all the input I have received on here about this new purchase I made as I continue to learn about it... Sled came with a Bikeman Full Velocity "trail" exhaust on it, 2.5: I believe, and while it sounds really nice and throaty, its too loud for me trail riding. Drones in my helmet which I CANNOT stand (overly sensitive hearing). Found someone local that has a TD SQ 3", ECU with a Powertrail tune, and a CAI for a great price. (he says its 2.5 but the flex joint is the 3" style, "ribbed", maybe they used to make a 2.5 that way?) How is the 3" based on peoples experience? I know noise is VERY subjective, but I want something that's in between what I have, and stock, and mufflers are ridiculously expensive to buy and only have it still be too loud. PLUS I want a different tune that the BMP I have on it so this would be a great buy IF the pipe isnt too loud as it would save me a lot of money. Prefer not to drop over 1k on a new tune AND a new pipe right now... This to me looks like the 3" but maybe I am wrong if they used to look the same...

Mufflers are far too subjective to nail down a particular sound that may make one person happy, and the next guys hates it.
I'm running a 3" SQ and think it's awesome. Relatively quite with zero drone.
Note: measure across muffler outlet to verify size.

So maybe somebody will correct me but i know for a fact they are both Magnaflow , but the super quiet 3" which i have , in the form of a custom Viney Fab are similar to the one you mentioned, but is a longer body and i feel it has a very nice tone and is not any more loud than any of the many aftermarket exhaust.

Ya kyle told me he used a taller magnaflow core when he use to make them

All aftermarket mufflers are loud!


If you don't like the noise wear earplugs. The wind noise alone cut down is worth it.

Kyle is a great guy. Been urging him for years to make a header. He needs a sled for fitment and i think with a handful of orders he will get it done.
