Does it create much back pressure, thereby affecting power noticeably?

I figured someone would ask that , I really don't know yet ,because I haven't finished it yet.

The new pipe is larger than the stock exhaust tip , so I think it should be fine.I should know more some time tomorrow.

Now the burning question: If successful, will you be making them for the honda.sxs members? No pressure, mind you.

 

[Chooglin]

Most likely , if my buddy is willing to help me out !

Yes

 

[Miss_Oak]

Hope you like it. I would be interested in one!

 

[oldfortyfive]

So basically your adding an extended Tee to the tailpipe?

Ya pretty much ,I hope to post a video tomorrow to show how quiet it gets when you put the tube on!

I will most likely drill mutiple holes in the bottom of the tube to allow the exhaust to escape along with one hole drilled in each tailpipe

Nice mod...
props...to you
waiting on. The vid..

 

[Chooglin]

I think I failed on this one , unless I can figure something out.

I drilled to many holes in the tube.........this thing sounds like a helicopter now.

Keep trying Choog...thought I wanted an HMF to make mine sound BA but after hearing other machines, I'd rather go quiet. Preferably something that is just bolt on.

I,m going to try something different, I think I screwed up by drilling holes in the tube and capping both ends of the tube.

Maybe bend those tubes back like a dual exhaust or do you think opening it up like that will make it louder? Would give it more air flow anyway?

 

[Chooglin]

I think it would be louder. If you take a straight tube (1 1/2 feet long) and just slide it over the stock muffler tailpipe, you won't believe how quiet it gets.

You obviously can't run it that way , but by making it 90 degrees to the tailpipe, you can.

I am going to make a new one and just cap the end closest to the tailpipe and leave the far end open!

 

[Rustell]

Years ago, when we would have to pass a sound test on our Enduro bikes, we would take a piece of a motorcycle inner tube and slide one end over the muffler.
