Hello, I am the happy new owner (2 weeks) of a Aprilia 1000R 2007. I have sieved the net looking for a "Cheapish" quiet exhaust, quieter the better. My reason is I'm a Nurse working early shifts at the Hospital and I want to keep the neighbors happy. Jon
 
You could push it down the road and start it. I've done that before for 3 years where I lived once.
 
I've got a std set for sale on eBay at the moment. Item number 151045352188
 
if you already have the standard exhaust on, and its too loud.. you will not find quieter, not even akra's ;)

The simple issue is, at 1000CC and only 2 cylinders, there is a 500cc pop coming out each time.. if you change to a gsxr750 for example, (similar power figures) you will have 187cc worth of pop each time, and twice as often so creating a smoother flow out of the exhaust... my point being.. if quiet is a priority, Twin is not for you.
 
The standard exhaust is quiet, even when compared with 4 cyl bikes. Have your cans been cored/baffles removed?
