Question on stock 4-2 exhaust on 97 RSTC....removing mufflers and run open?

[Lug Nut]

I removed all the saddlebag/brackets....now the factory exhaust just hangs there (not riding and have them supported while in garage). If in removed the mufflers and just ran the open pipes how loud would it be? Having a hard time figuring out a bracket for the stock system.

you would have to put some very fat jetting for that idea, and wear ear plugs

I was afraid of that....guess I will fabricate some brackets...

you may find several members that would trade you stock 4 to 4 exhaust for your stock 4 to 2 system that would allow them to install hard bags from a venture

THAT is a very good idea! I have everything from this bike for sale....all brackets for saddle bags, windshield, saddle bags, floor boards, seats, bavkrest, sissy bar, and ALL the hardware that came stock on it........
