hmmm...doesn't sound (NPI) like I would like it. As odd as it sounds (NPI), I want an exhaust that is no louder than stock but gets rid of the catalytic convertor, maybe give a performance gain, and looks nice. I think those might be contradictory goals for an exhaust. For the cold-bloodedness...obviously they're not as cold blooded as a carb bike but they're don't go to an instantaneous start and idle like you expect a FI bike to do. My bike has caught me out a couple of times on cold mornings with a little hiccup as I started out. Cold for me here in San Antonio is around 50 degrees. Like you said, it's fine after a minute. thanks for sharing your results! BTW, the official Scrambler forum is a great place for Scrambler information.

It is a lot less loud than the Dan Moto but it is not what I would call quiet. Where the Dan Moto sounded like a Harley with drag pipes it is more like a Chevy V8 with glass packs. I will ride it tomorrow when it stops raining and report back. It is a lot smaller than I thought from the photos. The case of the muffler is about 6.5 inches long and if you count the end cap and the tapered front it is maybe 8 inches total. About a 2.5 inch diameter at the pipe and a little more then 3 at the open end. Looks great I just hope it is enough to allow me to ride comfortably. The Dan Moto was too loud even at idle but this one is fine at idle. On a separate note I have never ridding the bike without a modified exhaust so I am wondering is it common for a Scrambler to be cold blooded and need about a minute or two of warm up to take throttle inputs without stumbling?

The Zard, with the DB killer in, is not that much louder than stock. You can have a conversation while the bike is running without having to yell. Take the DB killer out and it's really loud. Louder than the ST4s with the DP slip-ons. My Scrambler not a Sled though. I don't know what's available for that model. The scramblerforum.com site is a good resource. -Bob On Fri, Jan 24, 2020, 19:26 Mario Baroz <mariobaroz@hotmail.com> wrote: > hmmm...doesn't sound (NPI) like I would like it.

Exhausts for the Sled and Scrambler are almost all interchangeable. The Sled has a Termi option that I don't believe will fit on other Scramblers.
