Title: Re: Please help Post by adberns on 07/15/11 at 15:03:21 Usually any change in the exhaust system (or intake as well) should be followed up with a carb tune/rejet. One of the great things about this website is that some people have posted their exhaust setups and the jets they've found to work best - this is valuable information! I too would recommend against drilling into your current exhaust, especially if you aren't ready to mess with any potential tuning that needs done. I'd say ignore your friends advice and enjoy the fine machine that is the Savage. To modify an old cliche, it's not how loud you ride, it's that you ride. |

Title: Re: Please help Post by Boofer on 07/15/11 at 15:24:46 Raider, You can drill a couple of 1/4" or 3/8" holes in the end plate if you like. Then try four holes, etc. Eventually you will lose low end power to the point you won't like it. Adjusting the carb will help some. You can then fill the holes back up with screws as needed. If you want loud, get a different muffler and be prepared to open up everything else accordingly. BTW I don't like loud dogs, children (inside), mufflers, etc. Good luck. |

Title: Re: Please help Post by Gyrobob on 07/15/11 at 20:05:52 Raider, one other comment,..... It would help the rest of us, and it would get more responses to your need for info if you'd use a more descriptive title for your thread. "please help" doesn't say much. We all need help, I'll bet. If you really do want help, you'd probably get more responses from folks who know about your particular issue if you use some verbiage that tickles their fancy. Might I suggest something like, "Want louder Savage, drill holes?" or "Bike too quiet, what's easiest/cheapest way for loud?" or "Friend says drill muffler for more noise" These are just off the top of my head. :P You can probably think of something that suits you better. Anyway, it'll help you, and it'll help us help you if you'll put a little more info in the title of the thread. (BTW, it's not too late to improve the title) |

Curious... typically, at what point would a rejet be necessary? I see several holes drilled, but you say no rejet is needed. Is there really THAT much difference in the sounds over stock? Any thing else suffering, like low end torque, mpg, etc? Ian |

Title: Re: Please help Post by Routy on 07/15/11 at 22:40:57 I didn't notice any difference in performance, lo end or hi end. Yes it is louder than stock,......to me, its just right,....I don't like loud. And I don't believe in rejetting just because I did a mod, and someone said I should. I believe in rejetting only if it needs it, and mine didn't need it,......still running a 145 main. Others here have done this mod,......maybe they will give their idea or opinions. |

Title: Re: Please help Post by Boofer on 07/16/11 at 08:36:49 TX and Raider, you are asking for a guarantee that we can't give you. Just drill the holes. It is a reversible process. "Loud" is a subjective term. We are running a 40 ci "Half Twin" that will never sound like a Vee. |

Title: Re: Please help Post by Wake51 on 07/16/11 at 16:56:18 I did the above mentioned mod with the drilled holes on my stock muffler before i replaced it with a dyna. It's quick, easy, doesn't hurt your bike, doesn't require rejet, and turns up the volume a bit. The best way to describe it is it doesn't really change the sound a whole lot, just amplifies the volume by a click or two. I noticed no physical performance change either in power or the need to rejet. It's a great stop gap until you get the funds/time/desire/jets to alter the muffler or exhaust system. |

Title: Re: Please help Post by papi_ocho on 07/16/11 at 18:20:26 I love the sound of my dyna. It demands attention without being annoying Wouldn't want anything louder, couldn't keep the sewing machine humm. If only I had a jet set from somewhere, anywhere to safely mount my NEW uni filter and tune the carb.... IF ONLY! sarcasm will get me no where >:( I know! |
