Hey all, just got a Blue 2014, looking for exhaust options.  What are they?   This thing is quiet as a churchmouse...  Thanks.

Got a blue one myself and my suggestion is leave the exhaust alone and enjoy it.  After about 20,000+ miles it does get a bit louder and more pronounced and has a nice rumble to it but not overpowering.  Just ride the hell out of it and enjoy.  If you want a noisemaker just buy a Harley.  Keeping mine stock.

Did you buy the bike new or used?  As Crabballs indicated, over time the exhaust note deepens and gets a bit louder, but never "loud."  My Honda dealer continues to say that my bike now has the nicest sound of any Goldwing that has ever been in his shop (and they have seen hundreds of them over the years).

Do a quick search of the forum.  You'll see some discussions of pipes, torque loops, etc.  There are not many options out there if you really want "Loud."

Good luck.

When I started up my 1800 yesterday it made me think about how good
my 1500 sounds...



The 1800 sounds (to me) like it has an "engineered" sound, with pipes that
are made (it seems to me) for looks... only one of the piggies is real.

Pretty much in 2020 I think the exhaust options are... stock, or get crafty on your own... from what I gather even the torquemasters aren’t being made routinely if at all sux to have an orphaned model i guess good thing i like the stock sound

Here's another, the company my friend purchased from with the torque loops and a ECU flash made a completely awesome transformation. This site also has sound bites. Happy reading Wink
