DB killer or alternative?

[OldGermanHeaps]

Just bought a bike and its obnoxiously loud, it is a ktm 1190 with a titanium arrow carbon tipped can and aftermarket decat downpipes. It doesn't sound too bad when you are on it, but with the helmet off its pretty loud, revving it you can feel it in your chest.
Do db killiers or similar work?
I dont want to spent money on a new can if i dont have to, but it is pretty antisocial.
Any other tips?

The baffle is out. I will measure it tonight and order a baffle, the noise of the thing is an embarrassment.
What possesses people to be such dheads on the road?
The can itself is a decent length so hopefully I can get it to a reasonable volume without breaking the bank

Wow, small world. That was my bike. I owned it from new - IIRC sold it with around 14k miles on it.

When I sold it it had a baffle in, and I supplied the original exhaust to the new owner.

Small world indeed.
Those bits are gone, but i did get the original spring with it, which i need to fix soon because its sprung for a midget just now.
Absolutely loving this thing. Just not liking riding up my street at midnight.

Exhaust is still there, the luggage and nav mount is gone, but it has a few other extras, engine case guards, magura clutch master and slave, bigger barkbusters and some other bits and bobs. Pretty clean and runs sweet. On 38k now but doesn't feel it. Going to be well looked after, but ridden hard.
Just pot my topbox and milwaukee packout mouning plate on it, taking it to work on friday.

I reckon it will need to be an original arrow baffle, as the pipe curves roughly 30 degrees down after the end, and universal cheap baffles are just straight, would that be right?
I have a calibrated spl meter for testing fire alarms,
I will do before and afters.
Killboy you wouldn't happen to still have any paperwork for the exhaust so I know exactly what part number the system is so I can order a genuine baffle?

Cant stop grinning. This thing is a lot of fun.
Ordered a touring screen, and a nav mount, fitted better mirrors, and enjoyed a few childish wheelies.
Tc and mtc is useful with all this summer rain, but you need to turn them off to keep the front up though.

Thanks. Part number for the original baffle is 5930023
£69 plus delivery. Seems a bit steep for a metal tube. I might try an aftermarket one if i cant find one for sensible money.

I need to work out if its 20 or 30 degree bend.
Any ideas?

Not too bad from here.

Might be worth asking on an owner's group to see if anyone has one, even just to borrow it and see how the sound is

Vat, duty, admin fee and shipping cost make the price of that prohibitive

Found a local bike shop i didnt even know existed, its hidden down a lane with no signage.
Ordering a genuine one for me from arrow italy
£43.33
At that price it isnt worth fking about with aftermarket.
