Posts: 54	deepest exhaust.... straight pipe? 06/19/08 at 06:57:56 I was wondering what exhaust would make my 2000 savage sound the "biggest"... i might go straight pipe, but i dont want it to sound like a ninja with the muffler cut off. has anyone had any experiance with straight pipe exhaust on their s40/savage? i figured i could put in some kind of baffle to get past my inspection sticker.

The stock exhaust on the savage is just WAY too mellow. i feel like im riding a Ninja 250 or somthing. what about straight pipe with some kind baffle?

A HD Dyna Sreaming Eagle slip on muffler will make the bike real loud too..... Grin

My friend said he can hear my rumble from blocks away. And it make the HD drag pipe guys do a double take.....

I like the rumble of the engine when using the engine braking.... (yea, I know there is a whole other thread somewhere why you souldn't do that).

i was actually thinking about getting the screaming eagle. my buddy has a set off of his softail night train. maybe ill offer him a few bucks for it. what kinda modding did you have to do to fit it? any pipe bending? obviously re-jetted?

The Dyna muff's are a semi bolt up. Their bracket does line up with our hanger. Not sure about the night train, softail. The Suzuki OEM muffler gasket doesn't fit so I had to use a sheet of aluminun cut to fit and muffler cement (tube from Auto-Zone). For the bolt to mount it, I used one from my stock pile. I reused the OEM heat shield but most people buy smaller ones.

Reply #6 - 06/19/08 at 09:00:51 I'll go out on a limb and say there's not a straight pipe made that's any where near the sound out of a megaphone - a supertrap with this end plate when you gas it does scream - not too bad at idle

That engine is incredibly loud.

when i drive out between our camper and the neighbors house (4' path)im idling..still found a hand full of assorted nails rivet pins and screws in my track..
spotted b4 getting a flat..hopefully it was from the tech that serviced the neighbors ac and not intentional..

Had a SE turnout pipe on mine. My buddy wouldn't ride on next to or behind me because the exhaust kept hitting him. I'm putting a stock dyna muffler on it now. SE turnout was too loudish. Got to be anoying after a while on a trip.

Just did that a week and a half ago. Not so sure I like it. Too quite. Miss the uniqueness. Now working on a better baffle to insert into the front of the SE turn-out.

Reply #13 - 06/20/08 at 15:15:17 I think lots of pipes are better Looking than the Supertrapp. I have a Supertrapp,tho, because the function is so good, Ill put up with "less than pretty" to haVe excellent performance & tuneability.

I have a fishtail pipe off an old HD and it is L O U D! I picked it up at a biker junkyard and am not even sure if you can buy on of these anymore. I paid $20 for it and it fits really well. I'll get a pic up one of these days. I go by V-twins and drown them out all the time. Seriously. My Savage is as loud as a HD and louder than some I've heard. So, I recommend a fishtail if you can find one. You'll have to find a way to brace it to the frame, which isn't all that hard...just need a chrome band of some sort. Hope this helps.
