Hi guys I'm new to this, bought a 133 silverstone edition in 2011 and have been reading up alot on the r2! Really like the noise on that thing and was wondering if anyone knew what's the closest I could get to sounding like it? :) cheers
 
Welcome :)

You could make it sould exactly like an R2. Chris is selling an engine ;)

Although, I guess your after something a bit less ambitious, the R2 has a completely upgraded engine and a 4-2-1 exhaust manifold, hence sounding exactly like one will be very expensive.

Being a Silverstone, you already have the RS backbox which is a very expensive option and has a nice sound. Infront of that, theres two silensor boxes which could be replaced with plane tube instead. I doubt if it would be like an R2, but it will be a relatively cheap noticable change.

Welcome to the forum :)

As Neil (singlespeed) has said, the differences between Road going 133 to R2 are substantial!

High Comp forged pistons, Aggressive non VVT Cams, Magnetti Marelli ECU, 4-1 Tubular manifold with collector on front pipe enclosing sports cat, Singlebox exhaust system, different airbox - all RATHER expensive.

In terms of noise, there are a couple of cheaper options you can do:
Airbox bung removed (Lefthand side of airbox) and a high flow element - BMC Panel Filter
Exhaust boxes 1 and 2 removed - Straight Stainless Steel "Repair" Section.

Should give you a headstart with noise :)
 
Also I was surprised how much of a difference a remap made to the engine note. After the rolling road session at Ktec it was a noticeably harder and more aggressive sound. I think they charge about £300 for this now, which for the benefits is great value for money.
 
Thanks everyone for the help and friendly welcome, looking to sort the exhaust and remap towards the end of next month! :) can't wait and I'll keep u posted
