Stock Exhaust Mod

[SoloRider]

But, this would be a difficult job to do cause you have no room to work on the inner pipe.  Is there some easy way to cut the inner pipe (please use layman term so that the majority of us would understand).  I am willing to do this mod while waiting for the sound file once I understand the procedure and have the right tool for the job.

Thank you in advance.

Thanks scratch and RedFuelDlux ... that clears it up!

That's the kind of mod I like .. cheap!

The best tool to use is a Dremel with a cut wheel. If you own a motorcycle, then you need a Dremel. They are the most useful tool out there. I use it all the time on my GS and dirt bike.

Just one last thing, I just thought of, what about rust?

Thanks RFD.

Now, what do I need to know about Dremel tool ? Does it come in different sizes & models and where is the best place to buy ?

I am excited about doing this Exshaut mod...

Use High Heat Engine Paint to defeat the rust.

The cheapest places to buy the Dremel is Wal-Mart or Home Depot. Get the electric version, not the battery-pak version. They just don't have the power the others do. There are tons of add-ons. It should come with an assortment of cutting wheels.

Black and Decker also makes a little cheaper Rotary tool that should do the same job. Good Luck!

Oh yeah, I probably should've posted this long ago, (especially since everyone is requesting a sound file) but if you're wondering about how your bike would sound and want a loose representation of the mod simply crank up your bike and cup you hand around the exit of the exhaust can.  You hand should be positioned as if you were holding a beer.    

You're simply reflecting sound and now your bike should have a noticable "Thud" .

Yep. I was going to make a similar post.  Also, you can get different sounds if you cup your hands in different shapes.  

As an update:  I cut about 1/2" off of my pipe.  First I cut off about a 1/4" and noticed that I got a little deeper of an exhaust note.  I then cut off another 1/4" and found the exhaust note didn't change much.  I noticed at this point that the exhaust had a kind of farting sound when you back off the throttle and the engine decelerates.
