You will have those issues no matter what you get unless you get something expensive like Delkevic. Any other muffler not specifically made for this bike will require additional pieces. With that said, you can look into modifying the stock muffler temporarily. I removed the baffle with a basic hole saw bit and rejetted my carb. It's not ideal but it's far superior to stock sound. It can be a little annoying at 70mph though. This could be a cheap temporary solution until you can get the parts necessary. There are other methods to modifying the stock muffler as well which include drilling holes instead of removing the baffle all together. Try that first, may be a better sound than removing it entirely. At least temporarily.


This mod looks simple enough, but what's the original purpose of the rivets ?

Did you leave the rivets in place when you removed the baffle ?

Check out this great post by DragBikeMike if you want to learn and understand what you're actually doing when you modify the stock exhaust.

Keep in mind that the exhaust doesn't just blow hot air and make noise.  The LS650 isn't a complex high performance bike, but you can kill performance and the reliability of the bike with a bad exhaust mod.

I did not notice much performance loss by removing the baffle. granted im sure there is some. With that said, the sound is okay. It's good at lower rpm. at high rpm or highway cruising i think its just not right. the drone isn't pleasant not necessarily because how loud it is more so the tone or frequency. thats why i got the dyna will install soon.

Here’s a link to my recent installation.  There is also more information and other methods on how to mount the Dyna muffler in the Tech Section.  

My install —> http://suzukisavage.com/cgi-bin/YaBB.pl?num=1726756292

You will only use one of the mufflers.  Don’t worry about the mounting rod used on an actual Harley.  See the muffler I listed for sale.

You will need a few other items to complete the installation.  I included links to some of the items and referenced others.  There’s a couple other things  like channel bolts, nuts, and washers.  And you may need a new gasket that goes between the header exhaust port and header pipe (depends if yours is still in good shape or already trashed).

The last Dyna I sold went from here (Houston) to Alabama.  FedEx 3-day shipping was $6.99 using my discount shipping app.  Dyna + Shipping was total $52 for the buyer.  That’s pretty close to what you would pay for some unbranded and unproven muffler shipped from China via Aliexpress.

The extra things you need will run about $30-$40.  See the links in my installation post to see a few of the extra items. I didn’t list links for the fasteners I bought at Ace Hardware.  The exhaust coupler I used to connect the header pipe to the dyna muffler came from Autozone (like $4).

PM me if interested.  You may have to have 10 posts to message me.  I can try to message you if that’s the situation or you can keep posting questions or commenting around the forum until you hit 10 posts.  (I’m up to like 1500 posts/comments.  It isn’t hard, but I know I’m annoying sometimes.  lol)


I can not reply to your PM's yet,   I will not do anything for the moment, when the post gets back to normal again I will contact you. I should have 10 posts or more by then,

No worries.  Sounds like the Canadian postal service has you by the ——— too.

Yoir’re right Zipi!  The chrome is super high quality!  The Dyna I installed on another guy’s bike has been put through hell (rain, messy dirt and gravel roads), and it looks like new when he cleans up his bike.
