Muffler upgrade
08/22/16 at 08:21:51
 
I am a relatively new owner of the s40, have it for 6 months with about 500 miles, and live in Brookly, NY. I would like to upgrade my muffler for two reason, for the extra safety so I can be heard, and for the potential extra power. I've been looking around and reading a little bit in the forums. My question is, can someone direct me or give a suggestion on the best muffler. I don't want something that is not too loud in the low revs, but yet loud enough once I get on the gas; easy install, and if possible no re-jetting. I know I'm asking for a lot, and possibly not possible, but as a last resort, if I need to bring it into a shop to rejet, then that's what I'll do; just  trying to save a few bucks if possible.

Go here and read this information.

http://suzukisavage.com/cgi-bin/YaBB.pl?num=1298689417

The DYNA is the best option for an easy swap as well as the best potential for not requiring rejetting.  Depending on your elevation, etc. it may need adjustment but you may not know until you try it first and see how it behaves.  

Maybe another NY member can advise you on their swap and jetting?

Make sure you get one that has NOT been drilled out or baffle removed. You need the baffle for proper back pressure.

Oh...and with the guidance of this forum opening up the air/mix screw as well as rejetting is easy.  If you have the patience and desire to learn, we'll help you.

And if you want to spend a lot of money and get a "bolt on" muffler, then SuperTrapp makes a good muffler.

Thx for the response, I did read that forum on the Dyna and and I'm in the process of contacting a fellow member in the NYC area. I believe he had the Jardine muffler, so we shall see. I would love ot be able to upgrade and understand my bike, but I'm not a big reader, more the hands on type, so videos and pictures are best for my learning style.

If you want loud then that Jardine fits the bill.

Cone Engineering makes some excellent mufflers; all stainless; assorted shapes and sizes with different baffles to choose from, and the prices average $140-150.

I have a Jardine. Once fully warmed up the surging at low throttle settings either goes away or gets so subtle way I don't feel it. It doesn't give me that throaty snarling spitting deceleration rumble the Supertrapp with 14disks did. The backfiring and fortyish MPG are inspiring me to hunt a Dyna.
If I don't dig the Dyna I guess I will look at something else.I sure did like that Supertrapp, but it's ugly and expensive.

Too bad we can't try mufflers on like shoes,,

Gary told it got around forty, I was filling up along the way, trying to remember the miles, but I can't, filled up today, took 1.3 but I forgot the miles, UHHgain.. I saw some fillups on the ride home that makes me think Gary is pretty right..
But I Do wanna pin it down before I make changes.

I get somewhere between 41 & 45 mpg.

I write down the mileage every time that I fill the tank.
