Ok, so heres the deal. I am looking at exhausts and mufflers and do not want to do any custom work (like bending, welding, custom carb work, etc.) I would just like to take off the exhaust and bolt on a new aftermarket one.  

What are my aftermarket options?

All I have found so far is a jardine slip-on made for the savage, what is everyones thoughts on this? Is this my only "easy to do", non-custom option?
Do there exists any other options?

I was going to get the screaming eagle, but do not want to do all the bending, welding, and other custom work to make it fit.  Just want an exhaust/muffler that either slips on easy or bolts on where the old one was.

Any suggestions, money is not an option.

Any input is much appreciated!

Thank you much for your time
Jonny Chicago

P.S. once I get the aftermarket muffler/exhaust on I will take it to a mechanic to get rejetted to the new muffler

Those can be a good starting point and will work well assuming the shop doing the work is a good one and the tech knows what he is doing.   I would want to take it to a shop that has a dyno with which to jet/tune the setup.  There are a lot of shops nowdays that just don't seem to have qualified personnel...or perhaps since this is a basic single cylinder bike they put one of the young newguys on it for some training time and he just does not understand the basics of carburetor theory.  There are a lot of stories here of poor results at the dealership.  If a real life bike shop is in the area, the type of place where they actually BUILD BIKES from the ground up, they will likely know how to jet and tune properly.
One item that is always left out of the jet kits is a pilot jet upgrade.  It is a good idea to ask specifically for that to be included with the jetting/tuning.  The pilot jet may or may not need to be changed but this is the only way to eliminate the backfiring and provide a smooth and responsive transition from the low to mid range.

hey Johny
I was wondering if you got an answer to your inquiry..
i am looking to do the same thing as you.. no hassles, no complicated welding, bending etc..etc..
just slip on.. and take it in for rejetting...
did you finally find a slip on muffler??
i need to make some noise going down the street.. its bad enough they hardly see me , i need them to at least hear me!!

You situation makes a Supertrapp sound reasonable to me. Since they are tuneable. If the shop just almost gets the tuning right, you can finish it by adding or removing disks.

His question was a very pointed one, as were the answers - is yours the same question? - want the performance but intend to have a shop do it - so no DIY?

Finding a shop takes more than just walking thru a door & teling them what ya want done. It may be some little shop on the outskirts of town, looking like a junk yard. Wherever the owner cares about the customer & either IS the mechanic or has a mechanic who can & will do the work right, that's the shop to use. Just having a Suzuki dealership doesnt make the place good for the owner. As far as I am concerned, Suzuki delaerships have to overcome a handicap. I get the feeling they might treat me better if I had bought a more expensive bike. They don't know or care, as far as I can tell, about the peoiple who like the 650 or about the bike either. Walk into bike shops till you find a place that feels comfortable, not like you are standing in waist deep water with Pirahna all around.
