    is there a baffel in it?

    You can get an aftermarket db limiter - many lads get them for doing track days...

    But tbh, you'd be better off leaving it, the louder you are the more cars will notice you IMO... set of ear plugs will do the trick...

    art cans are baffeled or non baffeled (i have one of each)

    you can buy a baffel up north (they use them for the mot) but your bike will run rich if its on carbs and will need adgusting

    Pff, that's not a solution - this is a solution: I replaced my loud (104db rated) Art cans with quiet Akrapovic's (98db rated)...

    made sense to me. :)
