You'll definitely get a ton of unwanted attention with this thing un-silenced... both by cops and angry neighbors/pedestrians. I've been pushing the bike out of my apartment's parking lot at night before going to work...

Sorry for such a late reply, been fairly busy.

Silencer did a good job of lowering overall volume while maintaining dat sexy tone....

HOWEVER.. it didn't do a good job staying on the exhaust. Even with blue loctite and a solid amount of torquing the bolt, it still worked it's way loose and ditched the silencer somewhere.. pretty annoying. I'm considering it a design flaw because I'm not sure what else I could have done to prevent it from coming loose like that. Instructions didn't even mention using any form of loctite (doubt that would have caused the problem)
