Chrome Questions (Read 7 times)

Weez Ex Member	Chrome Questions 08/02/05 at 13:44:26 Hey all, I just got some chrome polish and I was wondering if it is alright to use it on the exhaust. Also, this is a very dumb question, but what is the difference between "muffler", "exhaust" and "tailpipe". I wonder sometimes if they are all the same thing? Which one is everyone replacing? Thanks

Chrome polish should be okay. The exhaust is the whole set of stuff through which exhaust vapors exit the bike. The muffler (sometimes referred to as a silencer) is the final section (on a stock Savage/S40) containing baffles to decrease noise and provide back pressure to the engine. This is the item many folks change for increased flow and/or noise. The header pipe is the first portion attached to your engine. In some cases, such as with the Raask, the entire set is replaced by a one-piece unit.

I have searched the forum but can't find an appropriate topic. Also, I see a carb mod is recomended. Are these hard to do? How do I know what aftermarket carb to buy? thanks

You want to look up the spacer mod and rejet the carb (not too difficult), and probably change your airfilter too.
