Replacement muffler
12/03/06 at 15:37:36

Me again - my son always would like a meatier sound to his bike. There was a great post that had different sounds to different mufflers. It was good to hear them. The one we like is the "screamin' eagle" but when I tried to find it, it looks like it's just for a H-D. Is this true? If not, where would I find one to buy? Do the Jardine slip-ons sound meaty or throaty? I want to get one for the least amount of money.

The slip on mufflers for sporsters without the cross over fit nicely. Most harley dealerships throw them away. You should be able to get one for about $10. Ebay is a good place to find them as well. BTW, an upgrade in exhaust will mean an upgrade in air and fuel delivery. check the posts on the white spacer mod, rejetting and K&N air filters. The exhaust is a bolt on application as is the carb mod and air filter, happy wrenching.

If check in the market place you should beable to find one go the through some of the older post and contact people to see if they still have the muffler. happy hunting

davedra,

The Screaming Eagle mufflers are HD upgrade mufflers.

I put a used Dyna muffler on my Savage. I bought it for $20 at the local HD dealer. It was undoubtedly a take-off. Most likely, some HD owner decided to have SEs installed on his Dyna and the dealer kept the original mufflers.

The point is that the SEs are direct replacements for the HD mufflers. Since the Sportster and Dyna mufflers fit the Savage, a SE muffler designed for the Sportster or Dyna will fit the Savage. These should have 1.75 inch inlets,

Steve

It was a direct slip on application. I just still haven't had the time to record the sound so ya'll folks can hear it. Hopefully this weekend, if not it will be next weekend after I have rejetted the carb.

Is it from a 1300 or 1800?? I have no doubt it sounds meaty. Did you get a k&n air filter?? Have you done a desnorkel??

Thanks for your responses!

Well, I need some more advice from you!! I went to HD today and asked for the Sportster of Dyna takeoffs. They didn't have any but they did have a V&H slip-on that they use to upgrade the takeoffs. It's used but new. It has no baffle so I'll have to buy one. HD says that they're the same size as the takeoffs and that it should work. Any thoughts? I paid $25 for it. Will I have to modify the mount? I've heard these are great mufflers.

Feedback from the experts???

I haven't decided just what I want to do with the filter yet.
