I used to buy clear everything, tint, alarm, CD player,


Thats a serious dislike for too many colors, I do like the monochrome look, but clear tint is just too much, man!  

i guess clear to u is flat black to me! lol

with the muffler, i had the same problems/questions last week when puttin my sportster muffler on.

i wound up drilling a hole through the old bracket for the stock muffler, making another bracket from a plate that held a dual honda muffler together and a couple trips to home depot to buy bolts that won't rust lol !

i used to be a car guy, but now i find myself reading easyriders and motorcyclist instead of car craft and 5.o mustang. with this bike, i've learned u can't really hurt it too bad, and there's way too many helpful people on here to mess stuff up that bad!

jesse james once said "if a hammer doesn't work, get a bigger hammer!"

Tran,

Lancer's jet kit is easy,  Just remove the float bowl and swap out the jets.

I forgot to tell you that you WILL need a spacer, I'm sorry, sleepy I guess - easy and best way is to remove the head pipe and take it and the canister to a muffler shop.  They can even make it long enough, and put a slight bend in it to keep the soot off the rear brake arm.
Even if you have to ride to the shop, it wont take very long.  Then get a different exhaust shield, cause the Suzuki one will not do.

See my pics below of a Dyna canister and extension pipe.

Pic of bike with the pipe - the extreme blueing you see is from having to ride the bike to work without re-jetting the carb - dumb but at the time necessary -  



Pic of my bike with my drag pipe on it.  I cut down my extension, and used it as a spacer along with my harley clamp.



She was kind of dirty there - rode home in the rain!!!

If anyone can resize the pics, please feel free to do so

If I remember correctly, the OD of the head pipe at the junction for the canister is a little less than 1 3/4", thus the need for "spacer" material or a filler/extension piece.  The ID of the Harley Dyna canisters are 1 3/4" +/-.  The clamp can expand and contract enough to allow for some variance.  You will have to "put your ass" into it when tightening it up.  Just don't go overboard on it.

Rail Type Dyna canisters are the best - they will allow you to remove and replace the head pipe and cansiter combination together as one piece, once assembled.  

This is about the easiest mod we Savage owners can do to our bikes.  The hardest part is getting a good seal between the head pipe and the exhaust canister.

The OD of the head pipe is slightly larger than the ID of harley mufflers. Some are able to just really clamp it down hard and it works. Most make a shim. I just cut the ends off a soda can and then cut it down the middle, folded the aluminum over once or twice (cant recall) wrapped it around the head pipe and slid the muffler over it. Then clamped it of course.
-----------------------
I measure the OD of the pipe on my S40 as 2"

=============================================
Now why does this have to be so confusing ?
Is it just me, or doesn't the above statements make any sense.
If the header pipe (2"od) is bigger than the 1 3/4 id of the muffler, why do we need a shim around the header pipe when its already too big ?

Or is the above all messed up ?

In plain english, maybe someone could verify that the following statement mite be correct ?

The id of the harley...etc mufflers are 1 3/4"
The od of the header pipe is a touch smaller than the 1 3/4" id of the mufflers.
Therefore a shim is wrapped around the header pipe to make it the same size  as the id of the mufflers.

Figuring that is settled, where does the angle problem come in at ?
I remember someone having to add a 7 degree adapter to the muffler mod,.......but maybe I was dreaming.

I noticed you drilled out your muffler, did you take the last silencer out all the way? Like I did, do you have trouble with "afterfiring"?
The shotgun blast sounds when decelerating? if not, what is your jet setup?

You have to save the pics to another hosting site, we use bikepics or photobucket mostly, I think (I use photobucket).  Then when you reply to a message, click the third icon "Insert Image".  It will put img tags into where you are typing. ("IMG" surrounded by brackets)  Copy and paste the picture link between the IMG tags... (first tag tells it to open the pic, / tag tells it the end of the pic)     Click your "preview post" button at the bottom to make sure it inserted it correctly, and post!

I am running these - hand made by me ... but they do let you remove that ugly ass muffler carrier.

I could make a bolt on version of these, it does have a baffle and what not, and it seemed to work fine with stock jetting because I have it flow restricted in a way, but it has a hard edged noise to it.

Not burbly, more like individual dom, dom dom dom, instead of brruuum brrrrrummmm ...
I like it though, and its light and can be hung off the head no problem. No need for ugly ass carrier arm.

Cool.
