powervault mufflers

[Joe_Black]

It is a PV2 that I originally bought to go on the IronMan, but decided against it so as to not disturb whatever planetary alignment that has occurred to give it more than average stock power and mileage.

I installed a PV2 on the Dragon right after they became available and it was a bit harsh initially but mellowed within a few months of daily driving. My personal comparison of the sound would be to a 4-cylinder Japanese sport-bike with a 4-into-1. I've got a '73 Kawasaki Z1 900 running a Kerker race megaphone with a 2.5" baffle and it sounds a lot like the PV2, hungry and looking for trouble!

Most people seem to get one that mellows with time. I sure didn't, though. I have the PV2. I like it alright, but I will probably change mufflers soon. I'm sort of used to it, but it's the way other drivers feel compelled to act around it that is getting old. That may not change with a new muffler though - it's a VX after all. Anyway, mine never mellowed out. Inexplicably, it does have more mellow moments some times, but it never stays that way. I think it sounds real good. Just a bit loud off the line and everyone gets the wrong idea when in fact you aren't even mashing the pedal at all. Oh well.

Speaking of which, I had a VX like mine go by me on the highway today, but I was in a work vehicle. The cladding on it was pretty faded and the left rear cladding was sort of hanging off a bit, but still. When it comes up in your rear view mirror, it is definitely a sight - it's a little, well, weird, relative to everything else you usually see. Which I love. It's still a rush for me to see one, especially seeing one cruising out on the highway, and an Astral like mine... sort of get to see what I look like driving around.

My PV 0 sounds real mellow now after so many years. Spicy Cabernet.

Spicy Cabernet would work. Will see if pbkid wants it since it is a 2.

So, now that pbkid is going to buy Joe's PV2, my second choice is the MorganTec Silencer.

Now I have Mike's cold air intake system and the man is an artist with a heliarc or what ever he uses to weld it with. Fine workmanship. So I have no doubt in my mine that his silencer will be first rate, but has anyone heard one (other then the audio clip)? To me the clip was a little raspy but then it proably would be in a garage when taching it up.

Has anyone heard one with and without the baffling?

Again, I'm looking for mellow tone.

I'll be removing my 2 yr old "broken-in" PV2 here in a couple weeks. If it comes through the replacement surgery intact then I'd be willing to sell & ship if there is anyone interested.
