HELLO EVERYONE, CUSTOM PIPE QUESTION!
04/30/07 at 01:04:06

Its been awhile, hows everyone doing? Quick question.... Im looking at customizing the pipes, or should I say pipe, on my '96 savage...What do I need from stock besides the pipe and what does everyone recommend to maximize the speed and which are the loudest pipes? I was leaning towards jardine? Any suggestions is great! If you have links or know anyone selling a pipe for cheap please post them!

I heard HD screaming eagles are nice, but also heard that they are not recomended for the savage, is this true? I would like to find the loudest pipes for the savage.

Thanks for any input!

The Jardine and Screaming Eagles are both loud. I have used the SE before and know that to be true, and others who have used the Jar... report the same.
I would suggest that you consider the tuning characteristics along with the sound level you want so that the carb is jetted/tuned as part of the changes. You do not want a severly lean mixture to hurt performance &/or the engine itself. You can have the best of both worlds if you put a little time and thought into the mod's.

I got good pefrormance increase & a noise level that is acceptyable( not afraid I will be pulled over at any moment & that matters, cuz if I get ONE ticket, I am getting 2, cuz I dont have a license) with the Supertrapp & 14 baffles. Sounds good enuff for me & runs fine, BUT, now that I am using the 155 main & did the cam, I am only gettin 35 MPG. gonna have to detune it somewhere. Cant live with that. Anyway, good luck, have fun,, I am! Jus got more piddlin to do,, awww what a shame!

I run a gutted 12" glaspack muffler and 29" fishtail pipe. Both Motoasia, also called Emgo among other trade names. Shadetree Powersports, Dennis Kirk, JC Whitney and related catalogs all carry the same part under different trade names. Loud? I had to weld in a baffle, sounded just like an old UH-1 medivac helicopter going overhead.

Holodeck runs just the fishtail on his. Rode behind him today. I need to get him back out here next week or so and tune his carb. The pipe looks good, and is loud, but could have a mellower sound.

Plan to do some jet tinkering...
