can I run another muffler without touching carb?

bone stock 97 savage, the factory baffle has developed that really irritating whistle and Im ready to get rid of it. Question is, can I get a bolt on pipe like a harley dyna and get away without re-jetting?

If you keep the stock air filter,... you can probably get by with a full baffled, stock Harley shorty...
It will sound great, save you 10lbs of ugly fat, and make you irresistible to women...
It won't give the same performance gain, as adding a filter and doing a rejet...
You can't have everything.... unless you do everything... Wink...

I swapped out for a HD Dyna muffler and didn't have to rejet. I don't know if having a longer exhaust had anything to do with it or not, I did wind up doing the spacer mod which made things smoother but didn't touch the jets at all.

 I'm so happy with the sound and feel of the bike now.  Cheesy

Someone told me that stock Harley mufflers are fairly quiet. That harley owners take them off immediately and replace with aftermarket. I'm sure they're louder than our stock but is it that noticeable?

im gonna recommend a Jardine,... they are LOUD id probably say louder than a dyna.  they run about $175 from dennis kirk, im switching to that over the winter.   i got a lot of flack from the harley camp bc my sporty pipe has " Harley Davidson" stamped into it... you might wanna keep your stocker handy for state inspection though depending on  if your state has noise decible laws.  I know here in new york the cops dont really bother the few people i know that have them, just a suggestion though Wink
