From straight pipe to muffler
12/19/12 at 13:12:49
I just finished my swap from the straight pipe exhaust to a wrapped header and Harley muffler. The bike now purrs and looks so much better, but a few things have changed.
I have a fair amount of popping and flames out the muffler between shifts and after revving. Adjusted Carb tuning screw in a half turn and its much better. Thinking the flow is reduced and running too rich.
I can literally feel it is slower to accelerate. Amazing to me I would notice it this much. The previous owner had the stock header cut before it tapered down before muffler and bend. It then had a straight pipe. That was too loud, too much vibration, and looked terrible (poor welds and had standard spray paint silver flaking off.)

Using the stock Pilot and 150 Main Jet. I installed the flat K&N air filter and was trying to tune this setup. I have replaced the cut/welded header with another stock one and have it heat wrapped. I have actually burned a pair of pants, so felt wrap was needed, plus it looks better than the shades of blues my old pipe had.
Do you think turning in the Carb tuning screw a little would help further? I need to search for some Carb tuning threads... I am used to a car with an O2 sensor to help drive that.

Thanks a bunch for that. I will look into it. Added a link here so a future person searching may find a match.
