You could stuff it in ahead of the baffle (the muffler input end), but exhaust is corrosive and would rust the steel wool out pretty quickly.   It would be a neat experiment to see if a nearly silent muffler could be designed tho.   A single cylinder is probably hardest because its "pulsed" nature, over a say, a 12 or 16 cylinder motor where the exhaust pulses are naturally smoothed out a bit.

You might try a waffle baffle in the pipe, in front of the muffler?...
PS... (waffle baffle... I just made that up)...  ...

How would you know its working?  

Why not. Just to see if it could be done. Just going the opposite of loud I think would be interesting. If they had an electric bike that wasn't ugly, looked like a normal bike, was cheap enough, went 250 miles on a charge and did 100MPH I'd get one.

The only "silent" vehicle I have ever seen or owned was a first generation Acura Legend -- it literally made no noise or vibration at idle at all when it was new.   Seriously, none.

To do this required a 4 part all stainless steel cat and muffler system that was articled about at the time in the car rags as "technically innovative".

It cancelled pulses from one bank against the other intentionally in a dual header symphony.  The engine firing order and header lengths were tweeked to provide matching complementary pulses at the first mix pre-muffler -- then the remainder blended flow was run through a cat and a post cat muffler, then a long pipe and the final end of car muffler where things were crossed repeatedly again and again.

No Acura was ever built as good as that one was ever again, as that car was created as Hiro Honda's lasting legacy to himself and to the company he had built.  

He also built the Acura NSX at the same time to show as his sports car legacy  (used the exact same engine except had fancy variable valve timing heads).  And the NSX was practically silent around town as well, but screamed and howled when you opened it up like any sports car should.

Both cars were really something at the time, kinda ho hum nowdays, but back then they were the cat's meow.   Both had six cylinder pulses to tune with, and you only have the one.



All you can do is try to mute the single pulse flow that you have.

You have limited run length to do that in,  so are doomed somewhat by your restricted length and the great strength of your Savage pulses.

Buy a different bike. This one clearly isn't for you.

Adding to Oldfeller's post - the NSX was a Ferarri beater when it debuted in 1990. The entire world had to play catch-up when that thing hit the market.
