I found a local company with an online catalog - will any of these mufflers work on the Savage (I have an '86)?  What kind of rejetting/tuning will be required?  Since I'm a noob, if these won't work, please let me know what I need to look for specifically to get one that will.

Thanks!

Thanks for the reply.  Which pipe did you use specifically?  Would you know where I can get an angle piece and how to get the right one?  Would the shorty muffler at the bottom of the page or the turn-out above it fit without the angle piece?  As I said, I'm a noob.

Supertrapp is tuneable & spendy, but offers the best performance. The Dyna muffler is a trim, good looking unit that offers some increase in power for low $$$ & is a good looking muffler on this little bike. Be aware that some have a crossover & that would not be a good deal.

the ID of harley pipes is slightly larger than the OD of our head pipe. I just used a soda can. Cut the top and bottom off, fold it over a few times into a strip, trim the strip for length and use it as a shim between the pipes. Use a high temp gasket sealer to seal up any small leaks and clamp it down. It really isnt hard. If you're going the HD route try to get one with a rail-type mount. It will be much easier to mount of the exhaust support bracket. Definately check e-bay. I got a brand new SE slash cut for $25. A set of 2 for a harley/other twin is IIRC about $200. Maybe more.
