Dangerous? Its bad enough wearing a helmet which blocks out noise.
Scootering since 1968.

The Mito reverse exhaust is the quiet clubman that i have ever had.
Really good on performance too.I had a Gori that was f@@k*** loud with not the same performances as the Mito one.

As Special X says, it depends on the particular engine, I have a couple of standard spec 200`s with AF Clubmans and they are quite reasonable, but I have recently carried out some work on a mates 200,with one of those ally/iron liner top ends, with an AF Clubman, while I had the cylinder off I thought the exhaust port looked biggish, and sure enough when the scoot was running you could hardly hear yourself speak, even when it was ticking over.

Ear plugs cut out the wind noise more than anything else. If you're doing over 40mph, the wind noise does permanent damage to hearing.
Anyone riding without ear plugs in these days must be retarded.

Mr dapper well said about the ear plugs, us oldies have to look after our hearing :shock:
TS1 and PX stay in the garage (future barn finds) out on the GTS 300 when I go out on a scooter.
I know I’ll get there and back

What about a standard Italian GP150/200 exhaust (for that original lambretta sound)
The rest of my set up is :
22mm jetex,175 with mild tune (EX165,Tr122,IN136) and 5.2 gearing
