    The problem with ALL sound comparison videos is that they don't adjust the output levels to match the real world experience...
    So if you record something at 84db, and then something at 88db... your recording device tends to automatically adjust the levels to bring the overly loud noise down a bit...
    So unless you record with more advanced equipment/software... Or correct the audio before putting it on CZcams, there's usually no point.

    • @kpowered
      @kpowered  Před 5 lety +25

      True words. The recording device indeed balanced the input source. The video shows no significant changes when you watch it on a mobile device with poor speakers. If you use headphones you realize that the lower frequencies of the engine noise are filtered out. This is what makes the silencing effect here and is noticeable even when the input level was balanced before :-)

  • @L-Noble.YT_Hi.Res-Soundminds

    It sounds good with and without it. The sound is louder and deeper with no silencer. But with it I do like it because it removes the deep resonant tone and the engine sings pretty good. For the street id use it and for show or track you can remove it. Im sure the power loss is barely noticed. I had the skunk 2 silencer to quiet my tacomas custom exhaust, and no lie the first day coming home I lost it on the express way. The bolt I put came loose. So my advice is use lock washer and you may want to drill a second or third hole to retain the silencer. The vibration and exhaust pressure will send it flying. Trust my word from experience. Im going to get another one I quess.

    • @kpowered
      @kpowered  Před 2 lety +1

      Subjectively, I would say that it acts as a bottle-neck in the higher rpm's. It makes sense since you're trying to squeeze the exhaust gases through an opening that's 50% smaller than the rest of the pipe. There are also some dyno tests that proof a little decline in peak hp. For daily cruising, I'd say it doesn't make much of a difference.

      Wichtig ist immer die gemessene Lautstärke/mit oder ohne Schalldaempfer. Wenn die dann zu hoch ausfaellt ist die Anlage nicht zugelassen. Schaden tut es dem Motor nicht, ich denke die Leistung wird minimal sinken, da der Durchmesser ja signifikant verkleinert wird

      people don't mind when the noise is out on the freeway or on a race track, in residential areas it's not necessary and most people mind because we don't want the fart can sounds entering our homes, especially while we are sleeping. Using a silencer before 8am is a sure way to keep your neighbors friendly.
