    DB limits on a stock engine is always set to a certain rpm. I guess its around 45db @ 4500rpm or so (dont quote me accurately on that). This will be 20db or so higher at the same rpm.
    There s anyways no performance exhaust system that can ever be built to match the legal limit. It will be a mild trade-off. However, I must admit that the Bullets are much louder and I wonder why they have a free hand. No cop will stop a bullet which is much louder at a light or a check point. Thats weird!

          Well, for about 50 years they have been living with the sound of Bullets... think about it, in the eighties almost every cop bike was either a Bullet or a Rajdoot... so for them it is an acceptable sound from something that was bought by the government for their use... hell, if I recall correctly, the Army dispatch riders had Bullets which use to really create a racket... A neighbor of mine has a Bullet which makes a far far bigger racket then my bike, but my neighbors were taking objection to my bike till I pointed out the Bullet... once that was pointed out, everyone went home...

            I did that to a cop! I told him that its a RE exhaust. And after hearing his RE fanboy story for 15 minutes I was allowed to go with an advice to buy a 'real' bike :P

              LOL

              Was stopped by cops once for DUI check. He stared at my FFE for couple of minutes and let me go without a word.

                Lucky for us Pulsar owner, the FFE looks like the Pulsar Classic exhaust so no question asked.

                  Got Joel'd ! Been riding with the FFE for last two days and have to say, why didn't I get this earlier ! Here's a quick pic

                  Got my ride Joel'd !

                  Mine is the newer version but somehow it didn't come with the DBkiller. Made the payment last month, and received it after 21 days. Kolkata PBK did the installation job.

                  But this is definitely recommended. I won't write about the performance/handling improvements as its too early for me to comment on that, but my 3+ year old 220fi feels like new again. Total VFM.

                  Joel is THE MAN. Thinking about getting the bigbore too.

                  Only negative thing is the dent on the FFE which I discovered after unpacking.(Visible in the pic, under the pillion footrest)

                  Itching for a good long ride now. Have to see how it feels to ride the highways with it.

                  P.S. - Anyone else in Kolkata riding with a Joel FFE other than svjhonda(r15)? Any cop troubles? Please inform !

                    been using the FFE since January. No cop trouble here in Kolkata as of now. But would suggest you to back off the throttle near signals etc, and not rip unnecessarily in residential areas. Rideability definetly improves with the FFE.
                    You can take the ride away from me but you cannot take the rider out of my soul.........

                      Congrats for the new FFE and the dent doesn't looks so good. Did it occurred during the transit?

                        Location:Chennai(Velachery)
                        One day while going to College, I did not notice that the signal is Red and so I did not stop.Finally Traffic police have caught me,took off my key and told me to pay fine of thousand bucks.After a negotiation I have paid a sum of 100 bucks and moved on.
                        The funniest part was that neither he nor the other cops have asked even a single question about the FFE:-)

                          +1,

                          I think I was also there in the same signal at the same time.

                            Maybe. Came as Air cargo - DTDC. But not really bothered with the looks as now the bike feels much better and more fun to ride.

                              Yes yes:-)I am so sorry for not mentioning your name...Thanks for saving me that day...I was not having a single money neither with me, nor in my account.

                              Hope to see you soon.May be next Saturday.

                                I love the grunt that the new FFE gives my RTR 160 but the monsoons in Hyderabad seem to have started eating away at it
                                Any ideas on anti-rust treatments for the FFE...it's hardly been on the road for 10 days!
