Exhaust question

[Galapagos]

I like loud. I have drilled the back of the muufler and still think its sounds like a 90 year old man snoring.

If I cut out the rear plate on the muffler and pulled out the tube would I run into a problem with the carb mix and backpressure? Would it lean out too much?

It was not a problem on mine. I still did not like the sound so went with RK pipes. Rod

The road king takeoffs are dirt cheap, easy to drill or modify. I would box up your stock set and put em away for future use. . .

I modified my mufflers today by cutting the inner tube as described by previous posts and not loud enough for me. Can notice a little difference while accellerating but cruising not much. Was hooping for a little more sound to try and hide the annoying whine I get from the engine. I am thinking a Rk pipes are in order.

go with stock "rk" muff's, sound pretty good. I drilled out my stocks last year and they sounded like crap so i plugged them back up and lived with it. last week i put the "rk" pipes i've had for a couple years and they sound great, can't believe i ever took them off. helps cover up the whine.

I don't know, i got them on ebay for like $30, I think one is a cat muff but no big deal. bike runs great and sounds good. not to loud not to quiet.

I think the ticket hear is the man what's LOUD. RK's don't meet this requirement. I'd suggest a set of Nasty Boys, or Sampson's.... Now that's loud.... Actually an older set of Bubbs with the battening blown out aren't too shabby either....

I have a midnight Venture that I gutted the pipes at 18,000 miles and love the noise and I'm ask lots what mufflers I have...Now I have 94,325 miles and love it........LOUD PIPES SAVE LIVES.....and my Stieble Air horn in the fairing!

I did blow my speakers when I run either of my short windshields though.....Bought guarenteed not to blow speakers from Sierra Electronics and they are as advertized!

Did you have to do any mod's to the pips or bike to fit the RK's??
