Full stainless exhaust?

Does anyone make it? My exhaust chrome is peeling and its rusty and ugly. Looking for a good looking exhaust that will last.

Have you looked into getting it rechromed?

Nobody sells a stainless exhaust for the Savage. If you want one you will have to make it yourself or find a muffler shop that will make a custom pipe for you.
Second option is Duplicolor aluminum high temp paint with ceramic. That holds up reasonably well on header pipes if you clean them properly before spraying. Give it the recommended drying time, then install the pipe. Start the engine and let it run until you smell the paint getting hot then shut it off and let it cool again. Repeat that heat/cooldown cycle until you no longer smell paint burning and it should last a couple of years before you will need to repaint.

Are there perhaps other types of exhausts, other than stainless? Just to have brand new shiny exhaust, without DIY.

The bike has been out of production for a few years now and there wasn't much aftermarket support while it was in production. You might get lucky and find something on ebay, but good condition used is probably the best you will be able to find.

Nobody makes stainless.......or I would have one.
For a while Mac made an exhaust and it came in either chrome or powder coated black. They sent us a prototype and we tried it (Lancer). Told them the 2" header was too large and the muffler was too loud and our group would prefer something quieter. They ignored our comments and made it wrong.....they didn't sell many and stopped building it.
I have tried ceramic header paints - they work OK as long as you don't ride in the rain or store your bike outside. The paint doesn't hold up for too long.
There are companies like Jet Hot that will sandblast and apply a ceramic coating that is durable.

Unfortunately my bike is kept outside as I don't have a garage here in NYC. I can't even cover it, because last time I tried to put a cover on it, the first windy day the wind tipped it over.

Yep, broke my mirror and footpeg, lucky nothing else. The cover acts as a sail, and being its only a 300lbs bike, it is easy to tip over.

I recall people putting take off Harley mufflers on there savages. But I don't recall what model Harley muffler fits best.

I have the Dyna muffler on it, its rusting even more than the stock header.

The mufflers on Savages must run much hotter than mufflers on other bikes. I have a chrome Suppertrapp muffler on my 02 and it is now a burnt looking brown color.

I wonder, if I were to have a new one made, welded out of stainless steel pipe, but with no muffler at all
a) Would it be too obnoxiously loud?
b) Would I have have to rejet the carb? I did not reject when I installed the HD Dyna muffler, it seems to run fine.

I had my header ceramic coated ($50) 5 years ago, attached a Dyna muffler (excellent chrome), both are still in excellent shape. Hotrod shops appear to be the best at ceramic coating headers.
Cheers!

Yes.....it would be hatefully loud. (Folks would hate you).
Open pipes run poorly. The engine needs some restriction to break up the pressure pulses and keep the pressure waves from doing bad things.
