My new shorty pipe . . .
03/31/05 at 14:11:11

I don't know how all of you feel about shorty pipes, but I love 'em. I just did this to my bike last week. I love it.

What did it cost? About $6. All I did was go down to Shucks and get a chrome exhaust tip. It's obviously much louder now. It's pretty harsh sounding but I'm okay with that. I am working on a baffle, but haven't really figured anything out yet. Please let me know what you guys think about how it looks.

Reply #6 - 04/02/05 at 01:20:37 Hey RG I've been thinking about Your pipe, it looks so short that it probably has a secondary resonance at about 3750rpm and a primary at 7500rpm. Clive W

RG, take the stubby to the local HD shop. There are universal drop in baffles, pretty inexpensive. Very little restriction. You know how pipes are checked around here? If it is a large bore pipe, if a nightstick can be stuck into the pipe, the pipe is illegal. The drop in baffle prevents that without impeding much of the exhaust flow. Of course, red rear turn signals are legal here, so are apehangers, reflector deletion, all kinds of oddball stuff. Grin

About the only thing positive I can say about western washington state, nice place to visit, but if I hadn't been born here...

Hope everything is alright. Maybe he's just going back to school and needs the money. When times are tough, toys get sacrificed. My hope is he's got another bike, and just doesn't need the Savage anymore... -WD
