I am now somewhat new to the forum, as about 4-5 months ago and it was completely stock (I think).

Coming from the BMW world, I am used to QUIET as I ride and I still do like quiet. The stock muffler on my Savage (2011), to me, is too quiet. I recently found a Dyna muffler, and am hoping I get a little more sound, but not real loud, just deeper. I haven't installed it yet so I don't know if I will like it, but will soon get going on that project.

I think you would be happy with the original stock muffler.

Where are you located?

Cone Engineering has a really good stainless muffler, that is pretty quiet but still has some low rumble. It is also priced very well at about $130.
It does not come with a mount bracket so you would need to buy one from them and have it welded, priced about $15 I think. This enables you to place it place it however you need it.

I had one of these mufflers on a S40 I had a few years ago and the sound level was very pleasant when riding.

Not to mention that it doesn't look like a cannon like the factory muffler. It's also several pounds lighter.

Mate, get that Dyna on there ... you'll love it!

I didn't want a "hey, I'm here now" or "hey, I'm leaving now" kind of muffler. Just something that sounded a bit more like an actual motorbike. The Dyna fits the bill perfectly. It's deeper and comes alive on the throttle - and on decel for that matter. And you can still here the thumper doing its thing. You can even still here the speedo cable whirring, for what that's worth

The Dyna is perfect for someone who wants something better, but not too loud ... and, it looks a billion times better than the stock muffler.

I will have to machine an adapter, I am sure, and even some mounting parts. Then . . . re-jetting - my biggest fear!

The hardest part is fitting it between the two rubber 'tubes' after you've put it back together!

I re-jetted with the carb in place.

That's the easy way, IF you can get the bowl off and not screw up the screws. I'd be hitting it with penetrating oil for a few days and getting a screwdriver tip fitting solid in them before I started, then replace them with SS Allen head, and get allen wrenches with the wobble groove cut in them and use Antisieze .
A bottle of it lasts for years, even using it on every spark plug and in every place you seriously don't want to see bolts become one with what they are screwed into.

It is possible to remove hoses and throttle cable from the carb and loosen the clamps ,and spin the carp 90 degrees,rather than remove it from the intake .However it doesn't hold it as firmly as it would ,say between wood blocks in a vise,so may not work well if any of the cover screws/float bowl screws are difficult to remove.If you have not opened the carb before or have not replaced the screws with hex heads I would not try this method at first.
