Muffler question (Read 269 times)

My wife likes the looks of the one on her '06 S40, but she wishes it sounded more like a real motorcycle. I was thinking about drilling a couple of holes in the baffle with a 12" drill bit. Has anyone tried this? Thanks.

If you google "Hartman muffler mod" it will take you to the sites. There is one video so you can hear it and at least one with good pics and instructions.

You wanna be careful with that. The previous owner of my S40 did that; the sound he got is that of a Briggs & Stratton lawn-tractor engine with a rotted-out can.

Not very nice at all. I haven't changed it yet, mostly because I like the styling of the stock unit and don't want to put Appalachian engineering on the thing just yet. I like the idea of a Sportster muffler, but the conversions I've seen, for the mounting bracket, look positively backyard...
