I had the same problem trying to adapt a 1 3/4 muffler to the stock headpipe. I dont know the exact size. It is metric. A little bit smaller than 1 5/8. If you buy this reducer set

it will adapt a 1 3/4 pipe to the savage but you will also have to use Permatex Ultra Copper High temp RTV Silicone to seal it and prevent leaks. Let the silicone dry overnight before starting engine
Thanks. I was able to crank down on the clamp enough that I now only have a tiny leak not enough to cause any performance issues. I'll look into the set, thanks.

I had problems with him shipping my order, after about three weeks I finally got it, I won''t ever do any business with him again.

Joined and read this post 1 Day too late.
Ordered a muffler from him yesterday for my S40.
Everyone please cross your fingers for me.
P.S. Luckily I ordered the jetset from Lancer.

I just read the full description and I just had to laugh. I am tempted to buy it just to see what his "100% Guaranteed Zero cost mods are."

'Prolly a Hartmann mod, idle mixture and needle lift. Can't think of many other no cost modifications.

"free" has a loose meaning to some folks, we have a whole lot of <$10 mods that we do around here.

I ordered his dvd last year just to see what was on it. It is a mish-mash collection of motorcycle stuff from around the net, with some more specific stuff on the LS650...most of which comes from the tech section of this website or discussion items from other parts of this site.
The only thing I saw that was anything near original for him was that he also included a complete copy of the book "The Zen of Motorcycle Maintenance" (I think that is the way the title goes but could be a bit off on it). Over all, there is almost nothing on the entire disc that is really usable, just a bunch of ho-hum stuff.

I notice he also sells a smaller version of Lancer's jet kit but does include
4 new allen head bolts
to replace the soft phillips head vacuum lid bolts.
That would be something someone on this forum could consider selling if they have a ready source. Where I live they have to be special ordered which means I have to take the carb apart, take the old screws in for them to measure, they have to send out the order and I have to wait a week to 10 days for them to come in. :'(

A year or so back there was a member here who did sell stainless screw sets for the stock carb; I believe it included the 4 top and 4 bottom screws and only charged $5 for it, incl shp. He worked at a place that made bolts and machine screws if my memory is correct, and got the stuff at their cost which was way low. I had his name and address around for quite a while but have lost track of it.
I have considered adding the screws to the JETSET, but would need to find them at a really good price to do it. The prices at Lowe's and the local hardware are prohibitive.

Just to incase anyone is curious of what happened here's an update.
I contacted him to tell him that it didn't fit...etc, and he said that if I send it to him then he will send me another one. I'm not really sure what that means since I told him the size I needed and he said that there weren't any larger ones. Did he magically come up with one?
Anyway, I finally got some time to go to the post office and sent it out. I did that on July 31st. I check the delivery confirmation and it was delivered 2 days later (Aug 2nd).
As i'm sure many of you have guessed, but it's been 2 weeks since and not even so much as an email even after I sent a couple "friendly reminders". What a douche. I'm glad it wasn't on a more expensive part.
I hope this thread teaches others not to bother with this guy.

Update part #2:
So I was afraid that I was outside of my PayPal dispute period, but I explained the situation and they were so nice and reopened it. Now I have a claim against him.

Is this the guy that says "WHAT A LIAR!" anytime somebody leaves a negative comment? It's possibly the same guy I got my DynaMuffler from. It seems like he sat on it for a week before shipping it, and then it didn't come with the brass sleeve that was mentioned in the eBay ad. The directions were OK and advised cutting aluminum strips from soda cans.
