You had literally... what... ten people say Proma, and you get a Jammy. Good work.
^^^ I was going to say the same thing^^^
I'd see if you could change your order.
I said that I would not buy a loud pipe, I'm not looking for super high top speed, and my budget is low.
I stated my objectives in the first post. The Proma does not fit the bill
I've posted more than once about my displeasure with the sound levels of the Proma. I bought the jammy pipe a couple of years ago when you couldn't get a Proma, it's better than stock but... As far as your objectives, you might be OK on everything except acceleration. Do not ride somebody's kitted hobbit with a Proma or similar pipe.
If you wan the red or the yellow springs. I have a some I never ended up using. Hit me up a email if you really want to buy some. Instead of waiting.
There are louder pipes.
Who hell wants a quiet pipe.. is fucking crazy.
2t need to get the exhaust gases out..
proma is just not a top end pipe.. but is loud. Wear ear plugs.
bah to all ya who say the proma is too loud. Try a honda gianelli circuit, or better yet a bennesar.
There is no way to reason with people who like loud pipes.
but let me try.
1- They are illegal in Maine, and they are enforcing it now.
2- I don't want to be the dick who wakes up the baby and annoys the neigborhood.
3- The people who I would annoy are the people who pay my wages. (I own the building)
4- I've ridden bikes that make my ears ring, it's not worth it.
5- I don't care to show off at the rally, win the race, or be a bad ass mother fucker.
There very good keys. Remarks.
make a better muffler for the proma, that thing is tiny!
Loud Vs Quiet both have their pros and cons. I ride in the city- we've looked into the laws here and you really can't get in trouble for being too loud unless you are just sitting around revving out like an asshole. Also I hate when people in cars obviously don't know I'm there, or that I'm not a bike to just be zipped around. I like to be seen and heard. I also don't want to deafen anyone. I usually pull into the neighborhood slow like, and power down and coast the last block or so.
Aside from all that- from what I remember, Kim had a jammy on her hobbit for a bit and she's always been pretty notorious for having screamingly loud bikes.
Yeah, I realize I'm rolling the dice on the jammy.
It might suck, and it might be loud. But I had to choose it over a known very loud pipe.
If you find a quiet hobbit performance pipe that allows the motor to spin up like my proma, let me know.
the proma is loud, the weakends is worse,
but if you make a extension and use a different silencer it can be a stealthy pipe
but who cares. its just a budget hobbit.
Dan, how about a build update?
Yes, me too. I want to know how loud his pipe is?
I think dude is in Maine.
Its going to be a piece before he can really get a good gauge on it.
Riding a kitted Hobbit in the snow/ice is a really bad idea. Ask me how I know.
Also you should really get yourself some 1k+ clutch springs.
You can get all 3 different sets/stiffness springs off of ebay for a totally of like 15 dollars shipped. Easily the best $5 performance part ever.
Before you bolt up the DR kit, dremmel out the exhaust port.
I could kick myself for not taking a "before" pic.
Seth has a new kit maybe he can post a pic of an unmolested
exhaust port.
