How much different do exhaust bungs make?

[cfoster]

As above had my K1 and Y pipe fitted today and my god its loud!! Sounds fappin awesome. Only problem is i've got to drive up to the Lake District in a few weeks (300 miles each way) and the missus isnt too pleased with the noise!!!! I said i'll buy her some ear defenders but it didnt go down too well!!!

 

Anyway i got the bungs with the exhaust as well but havent tried fitting them yet but was wondering will it silence it enough or do they just cut out a small amount of noise? Not too sure what they exactly do?!

Definitely fit the bungs for long motorway journeys, I went to France last year and had to have them in on the way to and from Dover as it was unbearable. I took the out once I got there though as I do love the sound without bungs

 

To answer your question the bungs take away a lot of the in cabin drone but IMO make the K1 sound a bit raspy.

I have been advised to only not leave the bungs in, is this correct? Or can they be left in without too much consequence?

Pardon?

 

I was in the dyno cell when IanS16's car was running without bungs and I still can't hear properly 6 months later

my zed's got a k1 i drove 8 hours 2 get it back when i bought it with the bungs in and didnt think it was too loud but when i took them out it was alot louder , ive kept mine out tho because i think it sounds better and defo looks better with them out

Is anyone running the K1 with the bungs in permanently?

Nurrish did for a good few months. Dont see why there would be any problems at all

 

Pretty sure there are a few people with them in.
