Another exhuast question (Read 113 times)

Greg Serious Thumper Offline Molon Labe Posts: 1251 Southeast PA, uSA Gender:	Another exhuast question 07/31/12 at 16:45:36 By adding a 30" tailpipe to my Thrush muffler, will that create any additional back pressure or change the sound?

Based on that, I'd give it a try. 30" extra should make a big difference I would think. Even 15" is a lot of tailpipe, and that should be enough to mellow it out.

Cool! I am hoping to get it done this week!

Posts: 1108 Yantis, TX	Re: Another exhuast question Reply #9 - 08/02/12 at 10:36:03 IIRC here in TX anything sticking more then 10" out past the vehicles rear needs a red flag or light on it. I have one of the Emgo mufflers that Ryca sells the 26" one and it goes just past the brake adjuster so with a thrush muffler plus a 30" extension you will be well past the rear of your bike. R.F.

I am going to have it upswept. It will end just past the plate. 30" is a rough guess. It will probably be closer to 26 or 27 inches. Besides, I have cool flame on decel. Doesn't that count as a flag? Huh
