That looked like a HD muffler.

I drilled (8 7/32 holes) my stock muffler and I like it. Idle sounds really nice. It backraps a little when shifting, and its not obnoxiously loud.

It kinda looks like the stock muffler to me, with the end plate removed. Might be some internal mods too, but of course we can't see those. Cheesy

John _D....did you read my last post? It is a Stock muffler with modification.Read my last post before this one. Wink

I also found online how to do it...easy search,but to me,not a easy job...LOL....maybe easy for a guy.

Also...to anyone...

If you re-jet does that mean just the main jet?
Or could you just do the main jet only? Undecided

Would that be sufficient?

FreeSpirit, To answer your earlier question I am running stock jets, airfilter, and 87 octane Exxon or Bp gas. (BTW, do ya'll ever argue about what gas to use like we do about oil?LOL) There seems to be some stumbling at night with cool moist air, but I never ride at night unless I get caught out. It may totally freak out this winter with cold and moisture, so I can't advise you. My "baffle pull" can easily be reversed, and if I drill holes I can fill them back up. Boofer

This gave me a much better rumble than stock. It doesnt sound like a harley but it sounds much better than stock.

No I did not, all stock and runs fine. I get the occasional backfire but nothing annoying.
