Posts: 18 Spencer In Gender:	New to Forum 03/14/10 at 07:31:43 Good morning, I just purchased an 05 S40 and was wondering (After I searched the forum) if anyone has any ideas for a new muffler that would be somewhat louder but not just a straight pipe? I don't want to be deaf, just have a sweeter exhaust note. Thanks for any help!

For a beter sound,some increase in performance, less weight & a mu8ch nicer looking muffler, Id go with a Dyna H/D takeoff. Cheap & easy to get, generally. If youll be wanting to get more power than that little bump, the Supertrapp is tunable, but pretty spendy. If you go w/ the TRapp, you can swap the cam out when its cam chain time & retune the Trapp to get the most out of that. Jetting the carb & tweaking it or just swapping the carb will be a step up in performance. The Backfire issue will tell you what changes you have to make.

I have been reading about the backfire issues and am going to make the carb mod pretty soon. Right now extra power isn't important. I am VERY new to motorcycles and this is plent powerful enough for me right now. Thank you for your advice!

For easy install find one that has a rail type mount like this one... installed, looks like this... This one has a little discoloration from 16k hard miles...

As`far as Im concerned, its the best looking muffler Ive seen on the Savage. I have a Supertrapp, not as pretty, but tunable.

Re: New to Forum Reply #7 - 03/14/10 at 12:34:41 Granted, IMO, the TRapp outshines the stock muffler in every way, I just look at the trim little Dyna & see it as "Fitting" the bikes smallish stature better.

No, I did it shortly after I got this bike last July. Not only could I believe all that exhaust had to go out that little 3/4" hole, it was too quiet too. I don't like a noisy bike either, so I started w/ 3/16, and enlarged them to 7/32,....just right.

Maybe, but installing one sure isn't straight forward ! I have never heard so many different conflicting stories about installing one,....all the way from,........
slipping it right on..no problem....
to ruining/buchering up a perfectly good header pipe only to have exhaust leaks afterwards, if not burning up the brake cable !

Now com on guys ...either the dam thing needs to be angled to line up, or it don't ! And either the pipe OD's & ID's are right, or they aren't.
Does it seem like the pipes are not all the same,...and neither are the Dynas ? I'd much sooner buy something that was designed to fit.
But I am perfectly happy w/ my drilled OEM Grin

Here's what it looks like. Now, I'm not much of a mechanical guy so maybe I'm making it harder than it needs to be, but this sure doesn't look like you can just stick a clamp on and be done. If I did something like that at my job, they'd fire me. Wink

I bought a pipe seeing it had to have a angle It put the stock back on,Later I found the angle I would need but left the stock pipe on and drilled a hole up in the pipe,Does it sound good no,It raise the powerband up maybe 300 rpm lost on the bottom and gained on the top.I have drilled all of the pipes on every bike I've had but the goldwing and 2 cycles.
