Hi all,
My '94 Magna came with Jardine drag pipes installed, and the original exhaust in a box. The Jardines sound great while idling, but with gas they are obnoxiously loud. Does anyone have, or would be willing to make, a sound clip of the stock exhaust? I'm also interested in what the stock exhaust sounds like with the mod done in the tips section.
A digital camera that can take movies would work well for the sound clip. I can make one of mine too if anyone is interested. :)

This weekend, I can get you a clip of stock exhaust with the muffler mod. That's what I currently have. Personally I don't care too much for it though. You can read my initial thoughts on it in this thread:

I'll soon be going to Vance and Hines and if I don't like that it will be back to stock pipes for me.
In fact at our wrenching session I can probalby get you a clip of a stock exhaust too. So give me until Sunday and I can probably post a clip of each.
That would be great. I was at a biker shop and a guy with a 700cc Sabre was there. His engine was so quiet - I didn't care for it. I really love the sound of my engine at idle, just wish it wouldn't get any louder than that.
Is there a files section for this website? I was a member of a truck club, and we had a section where people could download exhaust clips of various aftermarket exhausts.
I also have a 94 Magna it has Vance and Hines pipes on it. My opion they sound great not to loud but a nice rumble. Even at cruizing speeds they just rumble. They sound loud if you get on it real hard but at cruzing speed just a rumble. Of course thats just my opion and like noses everbody has one. I know you will love the bike. :lol:
Well, I took the plunge and swapped out the pipes this weekend. WOW.. what a difference. I can actually -hear- myself think now! I will have to relearn shifting because now everything sounds... so... quiet. The Jardines are on ebay now. :) I'd love to hear how the Vance & Hines sound, and other aftermarket exhausts, that aren't as loud as those Jardines. They just weren't -me-. :)
Do you have the listing # for your exhaust on ebay?
It's 140025551706, but it looks like you found it already. :)
Yeh, I remembered seeing them on your bike on the forum so I went looking and spotted your bike. My 97 has stock exhaust but had resonators and end plates out, I put them back in to see if I liked it better quite, but I didn't. I like the looks of the straight pipes like your Jardines but I'm not sure about the sound? good luck on your auction
Just recorded a few in the garage.
