Title: Buying Muffler, Help Me Choose!
Post by Netroxen on 09/23/15 at 09:34:50

OK, I'm aware of the muffler guide thread - however since there's such a large range of mufflers I though I'd ask in a separate thread for your advice.

I've found some mufflers for say here in Germany, I was wondering whether you guys could take a look and tell me which one would be the best to fit on the Savage?

You don't want these.....they have a pipe that connects between the two mufflers, and you would have to figure out a way to plug the hole.

The others appear like they will work - but the mounting system is a bit different than the DYNA mufflers that we use over here. You will have to make the mount work....and you do need to support the muffler or it will break off the muffler or head pipe is not supported.

This one might have the rail mounting we use....I can't see the back to confirm that.

Ok I've sent him a message, hopefully they can tell me whether there's a mounting bracket on the back.

Thankyou for taking the time to have a look, really helps!

EDIT:

Turns out that exhaust has a defective catalyst, darn.

Isn't it illegal to remove the catalyst in Europe? I thought so, I could be wrong however..?

If that's the case I need to know ASAP, might nab it then. Doesn't removing the catalyst involve cutting the exhaust open?

Also on a slightly oddball note, I just wrapped my exhaust. Didn't realize until after 5 minutes that it was fiberglass and now I have serious itch.
Anyway, can you tell me whether it looks alright? If I made any mistakes?

Your bike doesn't require a catalyst.
If they have an issue with removing something not required, don't get it.
Naturally, I don't know EU law.

Ok, so out of these two what would be best?

I like the look of the Sportster Nightster since it has the mounting stubs, however the other one has a tab and is similar to the one in the muffler thread.

So what do you think?

The Dyna mufflers ,without crossover of catalytic, have been used successfully. Apparently, guys buy the bike, ride to a custom shop, park it, and they pull brand new exhausts off and junk them.
Maybe that's not so common in your neighborhood.

We don't get Dyna mufflers frequently here in Germany, I saw one for sale on ebay.de but at 229,00 euros. That's a bit steep. Hence why I've put those two mufflers up, I'm not afraid of making a bracket to make the muffler bolt on. I just want to know which one would be better out of the two.

Jardine slipon! I like mine a lot

Just FYI: Jardine mufflers are VERY loud.

And can make carb tuning a bit of a trick.
