Ok so I am looking to customize my savage and turn it into a nice bobber project.  I was wondering what people know out there about attaching a straight pipe.
1)  What would be the best method to attach the straight pipe to the existing exhaust?
2)  If I remove the stock muffler and attach just a straight pipe how would I need to rejet?
3)  what can I do in order not to lose to0 much power since there will no longer be any back pressure?  Any thoughts, ideas?

Thanks much appreciated!

Its very loud without a muffler,and is'nt going to run any better. I thought I wanted a Rassk till I seen a pic, then for the $ it looked like one of those cheesy fake double wall pipes that Harley ppl buy, and from what I seen in the pic the build quality kinda looked cheesy also. If you want to add a straight pipe, just ride to a muffler shop, and have them find the size pipe you need, flare the end to just fit over the header, and weld some tabs on it where it needs to bolt to the bracket. The pipe will have to have a slight bent rite before it joins the header. For a just in case scenerio, buy a slip in baffle that'll fit the size pipe you'll be using. If you start going deaf, or cant get it tunaed properly, just drill a hole in the bottom of the pipe near the end, slide in the baffle, then put a srew in to hold it.
