2003 Savage Muffler Whistle
04/17/09 at 19:13:27

Hey All,
Bought a 2003 savage in 2005 with aprox 3000 miles used in great shape from my brother, He bought it to take his road test then after a year or so I bought it to take my Road Test.
Anyway somewhere around 4k\K Miles Muffler developed a whistle, Found to be a faulty muffler. I changed the muffler to a Jardine Slash Cut. Whistle was Gone. After A while Though Decided That Jardine Was A Little Louder Than I Like. So Somewhere Around Approx 5K Miles I Purchased A New Stock Muffler, Quiet Again And Still No Whistle.
Just before I Put Her Away In The Fall This Muffler Started That Same Whistle.LOL Called My Local Dealer They Said that this is typical for that bike. does suzuki have a problem with this muffler?? Is there a Muffler Out There A little louder than stock but not as harsh as a Jardine ? Need help with options for mufflers for this bike...any help would be great........

It was nice, but not too loud. I just did the diamond jim exhaust mod... Which is pretty much a low budget (and not bigger from the header pipe down) Raask pipe. 1 3/4" exhaust pipe, bend to make it come out straight with a baffle installed.

Pretty much common. Harley Dyna muffler is nice, slightly deeper sound and still quite. And you can almost get away without re-jetting the carb.

New muffler is definitely on the list. You say the Dyna muffler doesn't require a drastic jetting change? I probably need some carb tweaks anyway, I've got the midrange surge to get rid of.

The adjustment screw helps alot, but spend the $ and get a rejet kit, it really helps the performance throughout the whole power range. does Lancer still sell them?

I put on a screaming eagle turnout and the only baffle it had was a perforated sheet of metal diagonal across the flow. Too much of a good thing for me. I got a $10 baffle on ebay, then opened it up until I had a good sound.
