Re: Exhaust sound Reply #1 - 05/05/10 at 04:18:39 HD dyna muffler, looks good, sounds good, free flowing enough to require rejetting. Supertrapp, not as pretty as the Dyna, IMO, but I got it because it works so well. Its tuneable, good sound, not raucus, kinda spendy, if you set it up to sound good, its gonna make you rejet, too. Other options exist, plenty of them.

The only legal option, under Federal law, is the stock exhaust system. Unless, of course, you can find a quieter system.

I'm looking for responses that favour the "DIY" portion of my question. What can i do to the stock exhaust the alter the sound? Does drilling holes, for instance, really help. Right now the bike sounds a little bit like a scooter and i'd like to beef it up a little without spending any money. Possible?

BTW, different federal laws up here in Canada so no worry about making the mods.

--------------------------------------------------------
I said that it did didn't I ? Others have done it too. I never heard any complaints. And if you don't like it, that was the reason for the multiple small holes,.....they could be plugged in 2 minutes w/ a mig, and look no different than the plug welds that are already there.
There is info here on a "Hartman Mod" that is a major gut of the OEM exhaust. But you better have the cutting tools, and kiss your OEM exhaust goodbye if you ever want stock again.
