Should I just expect to have to re-jet with one of these?

I haven't seen a sportster muffler for 10-30 and I searched everywhere.(maybe not in the right spots

..this was when I was searching for a muffler a month ago. I ended up getting the EMGO Megaphone for $67 and it is loud!

Depending what region your from, I always seem to find a set on Craigslist that's getting tossed out by the owner for a fair price. I would say paying $30 or under is fair. Anything over, and you can surely find one or two for less.

I had to rejet, as the new exhaust leaned it to the point it wouldn't run properly. Tons of info on how to do it. It was my first time and once you figure out how to get to the jets and get them out, its not hard at all. As easy as taking a screw out and putting a new one in. Just make sure you do a little research to put the right ones in on the first try! Shouldn't be too hard if it's a stock bike and this is your first mod.

Carl, I'll be glad to. When I get a sec, I'll post a couple pics. Wifey says she likes the look of the slash cut, this is after I spent 20 minutes explaining what a muffler was...ugh.
I'll let you know which one I'm gonna keep shortly, problem with the "set" that I got was the mounting, didn't get a really good look at them in the pics, it's not a rail, it's the 2 lone bolt holes Sad

So either way, I'll either have 2 of those or one of them and a slashcut for sale shortly...lol

Re: HD Muffler question Reply #13 - 06/19/11 at 05:38:20 Its not absolutely necessary, but if youve never messed with one, it mte be the easy way to go. Besies, if no one has ever opened the carb up, its not likely to be real easy.. on the bench beats on the bike there.

Rejet requires taking the bowl off the carb,.....no kidding now ! Roll Eyes

I found that to be a relatively easy job,.....only because I went into it w/ the thought in mind....that the screws are going to be very tight,....that if I let the flips driver slip once, I'm done....finished !!

To guarantee that the driver doesn't slip, (mine did not) requires mechanical (not human) upward pressure on the driver while cracking them loose.

I used the bit out of my reversable screwdriver which had a hex midway that I could put a 7/16 wrench on. Then using a 3/4 x 3/4 stick about 5 1/2" long (nice to have a table saw) for a vertical shim, I was able to use a prybar to get the upward pressure on the end of the driver bit, needed to crack each one loose.

Like I said, if you let the driver slip once, you will be R&Ring the carb.
