How loud is a Marshall Deeptone Competition 4-1 systemgoing to be for street usage???

Way too loud, or just a little bit too loud?

Is switching baffles or something to make it quiet going to work very well?

I you tubed the Marshall deep tone....There were about 6 or 7 video/ sound clips.
They were mostly all at idle, nobody really revved it up much. The only bike it had a nice deep growl on was the 16v 750 ES. There was a mid 80's Kaw 550 that had a nice deep sound too.
The other videos, the exhaust sounded a bit annoying. Sort of tinny and monotone.
Compared to my 1100E with the vintage Kerker 4-1 (which is a really loud exhaust baffled or not) the Marshall seems a lot milder.
I think on a 650 or under it won't be too loud.
IMO the problem with 4-1 exhausts is the constant loud sound when you are riding at highway speeds. At 4500 rpm's and up for long periods of time I get tired of hearing the higher pitched exhaust noise.
I love the performance sound of 4-1 for ripping it around the back roads and cranking it around town doing some sport riding.....but not for easy Sunday cruising or taking hour plus highway rides.
I would you tube it Tom and see what you think.

I'd guess a little bit too loud.

The one on my 750 is pretty quiet - not much louder than the standard system.

I should have said the other option is the Kerker 4-1 that's been on it for years. A little louder than a stock muffler, but it's made for the street, I'm OK with that noise level.
This Marshall I'm looking at is a competition pipe, I'm thinking that could be a lot louder than their street legal pipes?
Hhog, is the one on your 750 the competition one or the street legal one?
And do you like it otherwise?

I wasn't aware that they made a noisier competition version - I don't think we could get anything other than the road legal one.

My 750 came with it on - I wouldn't have chosen to fit one myself as the shape of the silencer doesn't do it for me. Quality though is pretty good.

OK, NEVERMIND. Looking at the pictures again, this pipe says 550/650. If it fits in a 550 head it has the same tiny tube ends as the one I have now.
