Title: Exhaust
Post by Ap5112 on 09/15/13 at 18:30:22

Best sounding exhaust if your going for loudness?

Would a straight pipe sound good and jetted?

I highly suggest the Jardine.

Loudness makes 99% of the people on the road hate motorcycles, and makes them despise all motorcyclists, not just the loud-bike riders.

I agree the stock system is not just quiet and heavy, but sounds wimpy. If you want it to sound more manly, please don't make it loud enough to piss people off.

In some locales, such as the Atlanta Metro area, loud pipes get ticketed.

I live in a state that does not require mufflers, I love the sound of a healthy exhaust note, and I'm the first guy hollering "Buy a muffler you cheap f***" when somebody flies by wide open with straight pipes.

I ran my 98 with a straight pipe for a year or so. So loud it will set off car alarms at the other end of a Walmart super center parking lot... Forget the neighbors, the wife, other road users, etc. Your own ears will hate you.

I love the sound of a healthy exhaust note, but not so loud it pisses people off. The muffler I am using on the RYCA Double Build bike is loud enough to be healthy sounding, too loud for full throttle at high rpm in neighborhoods, but for generally riding around at typical throttle settings I don't feel it is too annoying. It is a sweet song out in the country on twisty roads at 40-70 mph.

See reply #276 in the Double RYCA Build thread for the innards of that cheapo EMGO muffler. http://suzukisavage.com/cgi-bin/YaBB.pl?num=1304722902/270

Getting thecarb right with an open pipe is not easy,
Zero restriction robs power, anyway.,
Takea chance, slap a Dyna on it. Get a power boost, easy to tune, sounds nice,

If all you can get is a chrome muffler, just have it sandblasted and paint it with a high-quality hi-temp black paint.

Good old fashioned Easy Off oven cleaner will etch chrome well enough for paint to adhere. About $7 or so...

It will etch it, but does it rough up the surface well enough for a single-ingredient paint to grab the surface? Motorcycle muffler duty is pretty tough. The surface needs to be pretty coarse for rattle-can paint to stick.

I get a year or two between touch ups. I actually prefer to use a flap sander on the chrome, but finding high header primer isn't easy, and most high heat paints won't fill scratches very well.

I have really been loving the sound of my emgo turnouts for 3-4 months of riding. They are loud enough to be noticed - which helps to not be hit - and they have a good rumble. Fit is almost perfect. It feels as though it gives the right amount of back pressure for the engine, too.
