SuzukiSavage.com - Stock muffler the quietest??

Posts: 91 Northern Virginia Gender:	Stock muffler the quietest?? 04/16/08 at 12:49:36 I listened to the samples -- should I assume that a stock muffler on a '98 is as mellow as it gets?? I just bought this bike and it has a Supertrapp on it. My neighbors have enough to complain about already and I am getting some hard stares. This could be an opportunity for someone with a stock muffler in good condition.

It don't go, but it'll be quiet. The whole end comes out and can be packed with fiberglass. BTW: keep the disks.

Count the disks, let us know what ya got. If you have 14, thats stock + a 6 pack. If you have 8, thats so restricted it doesnt lean it out more than stock jets. 8 disks sounds better than the stock muffler, tho. I am running 14, but my neighbors are a good ways off & dont whine about details anyway. The trapp weighs a lot less than the stock anchor. sounds better, looks better & therefore, IS better.

I opened it up and there were three discs (all together now: what a weenie!!). I took them out and will run it later today.

Q: how would one pack it with fiberglass and, is it worth the effort? I think I am going to have to consider a stock muffler (eventually) but have other issues for now -- bike has original tires (10 y.o.) and I am waiting for UPS to deliver a new set of Pirellis.

Reply #11 - 04/17/08 at 13:02:48 Did you start it when you had the cap off the 'trap - it'll talk to then for sure by the way be sure and use anti seeeeeze grease on those bolts if that's a clean 'trap I'll swap with you - let me check the attic and see what kind of shape the '02's muffer is in - new looking I think

Reply #14 - 04/17/08 at 14:25:27 at least you have one - with none i'd think it would seal the pipe completely - I think the recomend by 'trap minimum is 4 i'll look it up
