straight vs Trapp
09/07/10 at 10:00:56

ok, me and my buddy are in a heated debate over the future of my bobber project, specifically the pipes. i love the supertrapp muff and was fortunate to get one included with the purchase of my savage. his reason are the pipe looks stupid (which i dont agree with), a straight pipe will be louder then the trapp (i got 14 discs in mine) , but concedes that the performance would be slightly better with the trapp.

so the question to the savage gurus, if this were your bike and you were looking for tone and loudness as well as performance, would you do a straight pipe or leave the trapp on.

If it were me and I already had the trapp, I'd use it.

Hashbrown I'm running an almost open pipe with a 55 pilot and 155 main here is the muffler I am using,
EMGO SPLIT SHORTY MUFFLER
* 12" long
* Fits 1-1/2" or 1 3/4" pipes
* All mufflers fit left or right
I think the major problem I'm having is due to lack of back pressure, my mileage is about 30 mpg not real good.
Still trying to get the backfire under control!!
