I'd recommend Harley take-offs...

There's a video of a girls savage on YouTube.She has a universal muffler from JCW that sounds good.Not too loud,but good.
Dont know how much it cost though.Her husband works on hers.
And Ive mentioned it here but honestly cant remember if anyone commented on it.

I'll find the video link and put it up.

But I think the Harley Dyna muffler is pretty cheap.Or you can get them pretty cheap.
So Serowbot's suggestion is probably best.
But I did like the sound of the universal one Wink

I'm not sure but seems like the guys get them pretty cheap from what I've noticed in the forum.

I would try calling a Harley place and see if they have any they've swapped out.
Or even a local Bike repair shop that works on Harleys and see if they have any.And get a price.

Or ebay!
I'm just trying to give you some suggestions until the guys notice your post Wink

I have recieved lots of compliments on my Dyna muffler. It gives it a little rumble without being obnoxiously loud. I picked up a complete new take-off Dyna exhaust, including header pipes, two mufflers, all clamps, heat shields for $10 on eBay. Shipping cost me much more than the exhaust. I gave my brother the second muffler for his 250 Suzuki.

Using a 5/16" dia., 12" long drill bit and entering through the outlet of the Dyna, drill a hole at the 12, 4 and 8 o'clock positions, through the baffle. Drill one hole at a time and test to see if it is loud enough. I settled for 2 holes.

Did either of the header pipes fit the Savage? With or without modification? Just curious. Huh

This has been a confusing issue for a long time. If you do a search on this site, you should come up with a great deal about it. Apparently there are a number of HD mufflers that will not fit easily, and many members have had to make alterations to their Dynas to make them fit, so perhaps all Dynas are not the same. I have been lucky and my muffler fit on with little effort and no alterations to anything. It does not leak. The only info I can give you are the numbers on the side of the muffler:

Make sure you dont get anything with a crossover port. And some of the super new ones have catalytic converters but I've only seen two or three of those on ebay. I dont know if those ones would work or not but i wouldnt spend the money to find out. There are two types of muffler mounts , tab and rail. Get the rail mount type. You'll need to cut up and fold a soda can to shim between the Muffler ID and header OD. And a better exhaust clamp.

The soda can or something similiar is no biggie, could probably find a shop to bend and weld if necessary. In fact a friend of mine owns a garage and 2 Harleys. Thanks people!

I listened to the sound for the muffler they offer and to my ears it sounds almost identical in volume and depth of tone to my Dyna with 2 holes drilled through the baffle. Since you can get Dynas dirt cheap, it might be worth trying drilling 1 to 3 holes in the baffle to see if you like it, before buying that very expensive muffler in the ad.

Thanks for that info, Gort. I'm glad the sound is accurate. If you click the LISTEN link on the banner at the top, all the sound links are on one page... easier to compare. It looks to me like the ones with "big deep growl" don't come with a baffle??
I found a few on fleabay, as you said dirt cheap. I was holding off doing this mod, but now I'm really considering it. Man I like that sound!
