[CTXCO]

I'm a first time buyer and I plan on purchasing the CTX-N version. Does anyone think there will be a market for customizing this bike? I for one would like to see someone develop something that can make the bike sound better.

You mean like a different muffler?

Pipes

The engine should be compatible with pipes on the market. The unknown at this point is the mounting bracket needs of the CXT700n. Perhaps a setup for the NC700 could be adapted to fit. Like this one:

Akrapovic Slip-On Exhaust Titanium HONDA NC700X 2012-2013 - Indysuperbikes

Yes, I'm just not dead set on the CTX's sound. I heard someone describe it as a sewing machine and now I cannot unhear it.

Nope, not like a sewing machine, that would have been the VW Rabbit from the 70's. The CTX had uneven firing to give it a better sound. It will not sound like a V-twin, ever. You will never get the deep rumble with that engine. It was designed to be more effieient and that means quieter, less vibrations. If you want a sound like a high reving sport bike then louder pipes might get you there.

just want to get a quick word in. im getting a dyno test done with week on running the bike without the muffler on. if you want to hear this bikes true rumble take off the muffler by simply removing the screws bolting it to the fram below the rear peg and the two keeping it held to the exhaust. takes 5 minutes and really show the potential this bike has for more sound. I will report back with more info when the bike is properly tuned.

I like the sound it makes getting 70 miles to the gallon but it would be cool to hear a low rumble.
