Muffler Dyna swap. Small issues to resolve.
01/20/12 at 16:02:34
I have a Savage 03'. Just got it last year and decided I should work on it myself since it seems like the mechs in San Diego know as little about it as I do.
I swapped out the old muffler with a DYNA as recommended. I get a lot of backfire pop now when shifting. Any ideas what I need to adjust?
There was no gaket from the engine to the head exhaust. Should I order an original or is there a cheap aftermarket version? I'm asumming the old one burned away or was never replaced.
Any suggestions for a heat shield between the muffler exhaust connection?
Finally I dont have the tools to clean up my exhaust pipe. I've seen wraps online and I'm looking for recommendations. I saw a chrome wrap 2" thick. How many feet would I need? Is it a good alternative?
Overall it sounds a lot better and the cricket is gone. I can't wait to work out these small problems.

You probably do have a header gasket,.. it was likely just stuck in place,.. but if you have a leak there, buy a new one...
I put my new one in with my old one... (double gasket)...
Header gasket leak will definitely cause backfires...

Hey!
Thanks for the Harley Dyna guide. It worked perfectly. Due to the position, I only had to use one bolt aswell. What would be a good queu to stop torquing the clamp?

To check the header pipe to engine seal hold a flame around it as you rev it.. like a lighter or a candle..

Awesome, I went on EBay and ordered the gasket right away. I'm pretty sure I'm missing the gasket. Ive been having a bit of backfire issues since I bought it. During the muffler swap I took of the header completely off and reached in there to check. Seems like someone was trying to play mech with the bike before me.
Luckly, I found this forum and it rocks!

Ocean, in case you didn't show us that ugly joint for clarity, you can get a seven inch chrome heat shield for about $20 and cover the joint. Mine came from JC Whitney.

I have the Harley Dyna muff on my 06 and I just used the stock chrome cover over the joint. I did need to drill a hole in the mount on the bike to get it bolted on, but not to tough for a 1/2" drill. With the factory chrome cover, It still looks great.
