P1000m3 Dash modificaton and exhaust video modification.

[drfubar]

Decided to replace the "warning sign" on the dash with a piece of aluminum I had sitting around. I think it came out pretty good.

Also removed the exhaust tip and took it to a friend who has a garage in the town where I live. Asked him if he could cut the 1.5 inch tip off and re-weld a 2 inch tip with the same angle of the dangle. He does a lot of truck exhaust work so using the plasma cutter he removed the stock tip and then welded a 2 inch tip on it. It now has a very pleasant exhaust note, not obnoxious at all. I also drilled the first plate in my muffler with three 1/2 inch holes. The video is with my phone and it gives a reasonable representation of the sound. Also I'm recording this in the garage so it's a little louder than if it were outside.

Great idea looks even better

I had bought a 2inch tip years ago for my Honda Rincon and I loved it, ( still on it today) gave it a better sound and it also fixed the issue of my rincon dying when at idle with muffler under water, I would love to have one for my P1000

Send me you tip and I'll get it done... I just don't know what he'll charge. $10-$20 bucks I would say. Not a lot and the tip he puts back on is SS.

I like how your exhaust sounds on your videos, any chance you have any photos of the holes in the muffler plate or location description?

No pictures... I just added 8, 1/2 inch holes to the outer plate. I actually did 5 and tried it, then 7, then 8... It does sound pretty good... not loud at all

Thank you for the info, I’ve built a SS exhaust tip now for the drilling.
Thank you again,

I guess I didn't give you enough info. I drilled the plate inside the muffler and had the tip size increased. Put the tip back on. I believe the enlarging of the tip helped a little too
