| Has anybody out there tried to do this themselves? I saw a guy recently who made a custom setup himself out of a couple of glasspacks, probably saved him a bunch of cash too. | |

| I have a design for a modified stock muffler but the way the outlet is hooked up it points at the back wheel, not off to the side like most (think of a drummer with a wider and shorter oval tip pointing back). would that design affect the back tire temp/traction at all with the exhaust gas hitting the tire about 4-5 inches away. a few people I have talked to said that wouldn't be a problem but maybe somone here would give me a different side. | |

ofcourse it will affect the temp & traction...there's reason why all exhaust point away from the tire. |

| Down load the infanvew program. It will resize your pictures to any size. I've been using it for a while now, it gets the job done. http://www.irfanview.com/ | |

| Wow. Looks cool, but almost like a straight pipe. I want louder, but I bet that thing maybe just a bit too loud. How much did they charge you to build it? | |

is it packed or just straight through? Looks sweet  If i were you I would send the pipe and header out to be coated together, that would finish it nicely.

| About $250 in it. Its straight through there is some baffles inside not packing though. I talked with a buell dealer told him what I was doing and he said you'll want some back pressure which the baffles provide. Id love to have them coated the same but dropping the engine to get to the header bolts just seems like to much work right now. I wanted a sport bike but yet showcase some of its harley roots! I think Ive achieved that. | |

I've tried a couple of designs now and have not had much success yet. With the two designs I tried they revolved around using the stock can (on my XB9) and a Car Chemestry insert. CC said their inserts reduce noise and cause no back pressure. Both were incorrect. The caused large amounts of back pressure and sounded just as load as open pipes. I now have an XB12S and am getting ready for another try.
What I have planned will again use the stock can and retain the valve in the muffler. My idea is to reduce back pressure as much as possible without changing the tuned length of either paths. It will end up being a twin outlet design and should be somewhat louder than stock without being obnoxious. I will take pics and post up whatever I do if it works out. B |
