Lesson learned: Supertrapp does not fit Ryca
04/21/12 at 15:39:22

I ordered a Supertrapp performance exhaust for the Savage/S40 from JCMotors (ebay) hoping to replace the Ryca kit-supplied EMGO Shorty with a noise-tunable muffler proven to increase HP (at least, some). It did not fit. The exhaust is rail-mounted but the rail is located farther to the rear than with the EMGO (it's a longer muffler) and the mount interferes with the Ryca kit-supplied rear brake rod.

Rolled 4000 miles on my Ryca today. It's a lot of fun and gets a lot of comments.

Re: Lesson learned: Supertrapp does not fit Ryca Reply #2 - 04/22/12 at 09:43:35 I had to shorten the header about an inch to get mine on & I dont have the Ryca. I exploded my battery with sparks from the cut off grinder. Be careful around that vent tube.

I did not reduce the header pipe length and I kept the original muffler hanger on the bike with a minor mod. I cut it in half and bent it out. Gets the job done.

Can you post a pic of your setup? Cheers, I have a shorty suPertrapp too.

I just searched Ebay, and I think I found he listing you are referring too.
The one pictured (which of course may not be the actual pipe) looks way too long for sure, but Supertrapp makes a lot of different pipes in a variety of sizes. If you DON'T search for Suzuki Savage, but look instead for their shorter series pipes, and just find the right inlet diameter, I am sure they make one that will work for you.

Please Post pictures!

Something such as this should work fine; as long as you find the right inlet diameter: since multitudes of these are made for harley's and the DYNA pipes are a direct fit, look for a Supertrapp that fits a DYNA ...

(I did NOT check to see if this particular one is the right size!!)

Ya that's the one I have. Would love closeups of the installation. On the RYCA site, another guy ("California" in the customer builds gallery) has the same one, but, no detailed closeup.

Thanks for your comments and suggestions. I quickly returned the item for a refund as it was expensive ($340) and I didn't want to be hacking on it in the hopes that it would work. It had to be bolt-on or nothing, and it wasn't bolt-on. I expect if the Ryca kit had keep the stock exhaust bracket that it would have fit straightforward, but the kit deletes the bracket. The kit's new mounting strap/location made that model of the Supertrapp ( http://www.ebay.com/itm/370524141513?ssPageName=STRK:MEWNX:IT&_trksid=p3984.m... ) a project to mount. That was the point I was making.
