The KZs and most other fours I've heard sound crappy enough to make you reconsider turbocharging. I'm not sure why, but I was surprised to find out how deep, loud, and throaty my FJ is with a moderately short, slash cut dump pipe coming out of the turbo. I ended up going to a D&D canister just to quiet the thing down because no one wanted to ride next to me. It's just your basic draw through setup but sounds totally different. I have a couple of friends who run turbo GS's. These are high 7/low 8 second Top Gas bikes set up with draw through turbos and shorty dump pipes and they are really vacuum cleaner-like too. Most of the funnybikes are the same way. My EFI/intercooled turbo ZX-11 has a complete exhaust system and canister, and it just sounds like a normal bike with a 4 into 1, which I definitely prefer to the wimpy sound. What are everyone else's experiences with the exhaust sound of their turbo bikes?

In the bad old days,my KZ Kwak was fitted with a Kerker 4-1,I really loved the deep throaty sound.Then I bought my MR.Turbo kit.Lots of horsepower and torque but my Kz sounded just like my Toyota Corolla.Take the baffle out,and it sounds just like a noisy Toyota. It seems like the exhaust turbine absorbs the deep frequency's,and whats left is a whimsical noise like 4 lawnmowers on steroids. And what about the Harleys,one of the best sounds in motorcycling(in my humble opinion). Do a Turbo Harley still have that deep sexy sound???
