Title: Sportster Seat/Dyna Muffler
Post by Gulfstream on 11/20/06 at 15:22:39

Has anyone bought these mods on eBay? If so, what's the chance of scanning the instruction sheets?

Check out the tech section for instructions to install a Sportster muffler.

Then call the local Harley dealer and ask if they have any Sportster or Dyna muffler "take-offs". Those are the mufflers they took off when HD owners upgraded to different mufflers.

I found a really nice Dyna muffler at the HD dealer. It was marked for use with a FXD 1340/1450. They had Sportster mufflers, too. They would sell any of them for $20.

Be sure to ask for on that has no crossover. That's a small fitting on the top or bottom of the muffler that attaches to the other muffler of the pair. I think that means the muffler had to be made for the 2003 or older model. If you get one with a crossover, you'll have a hole in the muffler.

I've been reading this site for a few days now & there are several threads on seat & exhaust mods. The search option ( next to the "magnifying glass" icon upper central on the front page, will help ya find them.

i bought the sportster seat mod from kwik bay, it came with a set of instructions. they were/are kinda hard to read, and see the pics, as they're not great photo copies. i opted to build my own, which i documented in the tech section. i can find the origional instructions and fax them, but i dont have scan capabilities.

Question,

My wife wants a new muffler on her Savage. Is the Dyna muffler considerably louder than the stock muffler? She has a 2006 S40.

I think the Dyna muffler is a little louder than the stock muffler, but I have never measured it. I doubt anyone has measure how loud any of these mufflers are, but some people have experience with several different mufflers and might give you some valuable subjective .

The Dyna and Sportster mufflers are stock on those motorcycles and are certified to meet noise restrictions on those motorcycles. I think this is 80 decibels. Of course, I guess that's meaningless when the muffler is installed on the Savage.

Anyway, the best thing about Dyna and Sportster mufflers is they are widely available at HD dealers as take-offs for a reasonable price.

I have Cobra pipes on my Sabre and the best thing I like about them is I can get peoples attention if they're not paying attention. I not looking for something ear-shattering but anything that's louder would be an advantage.

Thanks so much!

I am guessing it is getting late in the game for finding a muffler without the crossover. Is the hole in a place it wont hide? Can I get it welded up? Will it mess the whole muffler up to weld/ braze it? I guess I could wrap the muffler in wet rags except for the place to weld, to keep the heat from bluing the chrome??

I'm sure you could have the crossover welded up, but I don't think it's too late to find a Sportster or Dyna muffler without a crossover. There's lots of the mufflers around. Check with your local HD dealer. If you can't find one there, check ebay - lots of them listed there.

It should be no problem finding a Dyna muffler, I used one off of my 05 Dyna Superglide. The Dyna's crossover tube is in the headpipe, not the muffler...unless that changed with the 07 models but I highly doubt it. Can't speak for the Sportster mufflers. Any model Dyna muffler from 99 on should work.

Here's a picture of a Dyna muffler, not sure what year. Note it has an adapter in the inlet.

And here's a picture of a pair of 2005 Sportster mufflers. The fitting on top of the inlet is the crossover. You DO NOT want the mufflers with a crossover.
