The MGP growler makes your bike sound like a beast with a high quality carbon fiber canister. Sometimes though you need to tame that beast for annoying neighbors or meet special decibel requirements for particular race tracks during track day events. This easy to install additional baffle makes a snap to use and remove anytime you want.
* Applies to carbon fiber canister only.
** Always use thread lock to ensure you don't loose the part.
It makes the bike sound so much better, as the MGP stock is obnoxiously loud. Its a must have, it sounds beautiful with the db killer in, and much deeper. HOWEVER, it is a massive pain to install. The first time, when I installed it as per instructions, it fell out a month later. Thread lock is required.
Got this to add to the MGP on my 2014 Ninja 300. The MGP by itself is good around town but is way to loud for the freeways and interstates and also on longer rides. This baffle was pretty easy to install too. It required drilling a 1/8 inch (if i remember correctly) hole at the bottom of the exhaust for the bolt to go through that secures the baffle in place. The baffles bolt is a 3mm hex that is easy to tighten. I also used Loctite to make sure the bolt stays in place. The baffle is also very easy to remove as well, just takeout the bolt and 30 seconds later its out. Vice Versa to replace. The throatiness is still there while maintaining a noise level slightly louder than that of the stock exhaust. Good deal and much needed.
I myself own a MGP Exhaust for my Honda CBR 300R and that thing is too too too LOUD, it sound like I am on a race track and when I pass people on the freeway here in Houston they give me this evil look like they just want to run me off the road because its too loud! I really need to purchase this DB Killer to quiet down the noise Level because I want to ride on the freeway sometimes!
Mike – Sorry to hear it's too loud for you. We agree the Single cylinder motors with an open slip-on like ours are much louder than stock! The good news is we sell a "DB Killer" that works well with the Original CF canisters. Hope that helps quiet your ride!
I installed the cf canister on my 2017 Ducati 1200 monster. The fit and finish are great. Love the sound, but I'll probably buy a DB killer for long trips. But I do have one problem, the band that goes around the canister broke and I couldn't find a parts break down on the website.
Dear Mike – Please email rick@hotbodiesracing.com and we'll be happy to supply a replacement strap. Hope that helps!
