I don't think I demand as much performance from my bike as some of you other folks.  
But
That MPG sure looks good !  Smiley

Here's the 1.75 pipe I'm putting on it , it is a foot and a half long !  Smiley  .

I noticed you are in Lynchburg.  The Jack Daniels Distillery is on my bucket list to visit.  It has been my favorite bourbon for decades!

Visiting a distillery would be cool. Go. Do that.
But, try Tullamore Dew,Irish whiskey.
After you tour the American whiskey producers.
Or you might stay home.

Great guide, I think I will make one of these for my bike.
Any chance you can record a sample so we can hear how the muffler sounds?
I have to choose between this muffler and a Screamin Eagle, any ideas if the Screamin Eagle has comparable flow?

I believe the Screamin Eagle will have good flow but also suspect it will be very loud.  They are a fairly simple design with a simple baffle, no glass wool.

If your goal is to achieve a good sounding bike, you can forget about it.  These big singles don't sound good.  You will never get that V-Twin rumble.  But if you want to make good power and improve fuel economy, then a free-flowing exhaust will help a lot.  If you want the good power and improved fuel economy without making a bunch of obnoxious noise, then this muffler, or one with a similar design, will do the job.

This is a recording of the LCGP muffler in the garage.  This particular muffler has a 1.5" baffle.  There's a bit of chirp.  The 1.65" baffle (1.65" ID x 1.75" OD) eliminates the chirp, but the sound quality and volume are about the same.

This is the same muffler on a country road cruisin through the gears.  You can see that the engine revs free but doesn't make a lot of useless noise.  You can make lots of power without offending all the other motorists, scaring wildlife, and being obnoxious.

Here it is on the feeway.  You can barely hear it over the road noise and wind.

You don't have to use the LCGP muffler to make one of these.  Any decent 2.5" glass pack will work as long as it has the same basic dimensions.  If you make the baffle tube just like the one shown in this post, and perforate it with the same number of holes and the same size holes, it should perform just as good.

Sweet, sounds badass. Thank you very much for the reply and info!
I'll go with the LCGP muffler for sure.

Ive tried several Screaming Eagles in years past and all of them were problematic.  The sound level was extreme and sound quality was very harsh.  Tuning them was like trying to tune a straight pipe, it was generally an exercise in futility.  They did flow a lot of air though.
I do not use them any more.

I think we might need to downsize these pipes a bit to make them work on the LS650.
