So, I already cut up my stock muffler:
http://www.buellxb.com/Buell-XB-Forum/Do-It-Y ... It was too loud. My girlfriend likes it, so we swapped mufflers, and I cut up another one. Here is the plan:
I cut 4" off the middle and secondary tubes:
By secondary tube I mean the perforated one:
How does it sound? 20-25% louder than stock. Very bassy at idle, but more diesel truck than loud drone like my last one. I like it. I wish it had more of a "lumpy" tone at idle, but it sounds great when you're on it. It is certianly not loud, though. I think the mod is a very appealing choice for the very limited group of people who want a slight increase in sound and have welding facilities. If you cannot weld, this mod is a non-starter, and if you want a loud pipe, you might want to pass on this, too. I have ridden around on what was basically a straight pipe, a stock muffler, and now this, for basically a week each. I can say that my passing power is noticeably better with this muffler than the other two. However, I wouldnt say I feel like it provides any more or less power. I notice that I run out of gear much quicker that previously. Me starting it up, riding out, come back, and doing a quick fly-by: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=45h0BXbjFwo |
