Title: Muffler question Post by Greg on 04/28/12 at 17:59:54 I had an idea. I don't know if it would work. I was thinking of removing the stock muffler and putting a chrome exhaust tip from Pep Boys on there. Is that feasible? What size would I need? I know I would need to rejet the carb, but would I lose much bottom end power? Thanks. |

Title: Re: Muffler question Post by Serowbot on 04/28/12 at 18:20:02 If you're not an expert carb tuner... Don't even try it... You'll lose a bunch of torque, and it'll run like crap... Get a Dyna take-off ... ;)... easy tuning... |

Title: Re: Muffler question Post by Greg on 04/28/12 at 18:29:02 I was going to have a shop deal with the carb. The Dyna take off intrigues me, but so does a simple straight pipe. |

Title: Re: Muffler question Post by Greg on 04/28/12 at 18:37:12 Thanks! I appreciate the insight! I wish I could hear what it sounds like with a few holes drilled in the rear of the muffler. I can't seem to find any examples though. |

Title: Re: Muffler question Post by Greg on 04/29/12 at 05:53:00 Routy, any chance you can grab some audio of that? What size holes did you drill? |

Title: Re: Muffler question Post by 223fan on 04/29/12 at 13:03:20 Routy, was a rejet needed after this was done and how far in did you drill these holes? |

Title: Re: Muffler question Post by Routy on 04/29/12 at 14:19:20 I can't do video, and hard to tell if it sounds similar or any different than any of those recorded. All I know is it is somewhat louder, but not bothersome to others. The hole circle diameter @ 1.625 mite be kinda critical, as others that did this had trouble breaking bits because of something on the back side, I didn't have any problem @ 1.625. The holes only go thru the 3/16th thick plate. But I think I was careful to not go in much more to keep from striking anything inside. I started w/ 3/16th holes, and ended w/ 5/16th holes. I think its just right for loudness, and I don't think it sounds bad either. Several have done this, most were pleased, but others weren't and made other mods. I did not rejet, except for the white spacer mod that I had done before. Stock jets....145 main, and I see no evidence of running lean. Others change to bigger jets before they ever touch the exhaust. |

Title: Re: Muffler question Post by Jacob on 04/29/12 at 18:43:45 Could you point me in the direction of the white spacer mod please? I wouldn't mind doing that to my S40. I have a 2012 and am looking for a louder exhaust but I might try drilling (8) 5/16 holes like the gentlemen in the posting. Another question, I may sound dumb but how can I tell if my bike runs lean? Does anyone know what my stock jets are and maybe what I should upgrade them to? |

Title: Re: Muffler question Post by Routy on 04/30/12 at 06:16:00 Jacob, Did you find the info you wanted here ? Most can be found in the tech section,....otherwise post back. |

Title: Re: Muffler question Post by Jacob on 05/01/12 at 19:02:48 Just looking for instructions for the white spacer mod. Instructions with pictures would be awesome! lol.. But if you had a url or link to the post or forum for this mod, it would be awesome. Thanks Jacob |
