Has anyone modified their exhaust yet? If so, how and how does is sound and perform?

I know stock they sound better than a stock cross bike but hoping for more still.

Check with BadX on the IMROA site under general tab. Picture in Oh..NOOooo. He has fabricated an exhaust for his Chieftain.

Thx, but I am wondering if anyone had modified the Indian exhast, not replace it. Like those who have removed or modified the baffles from cross bike exhausts.

Link to BadX refferred to above.

I was informed by a indian mech that you can shorten the baffels (saw them off ) and increase the flow and volume . I asked how short can you go and was told as short (meaning as loud ) as you want to .Going to start playing with my stage 1's as soon as it warms up .

just knock the freeze plugs out after removing mufflers. Sounds better, faster also.... read the entire thread before doing it..... works well.
Making my stock mufflers louder (final results are in with Dyno chart.

I also knocked the plugs from the front of baffles, much better now ! I expect them to sound even better as the miles build up.

I also went to town after a You Tube video. Drilled them both out and yea, better for sure.

Follow up on the plug removal. After 700 miles post-modification, I've noticed a chirping sound in my mufflers that I don't care for. This mod is not going to do it for me. I will be checking out the exhaust options while in Sturgis, and hopefully come home with something different. I did get to check out the Indian Stage 1 with six-shooter tips in-person finally, and really liked it.

The dealer near me had a bike with the stage one on it, it did sound a little louder but I wasn't that impressed for $700-$800. I'm sure the aftermarket guys will be gearing up soon. Had Vance & Hines on one of my HD's, Hope their working on something.

Peace Pipe by Dirty Bird. Hear it on there website.

 

[vintage]

Thanks for the info, looks like V & H has some Chrome pipes with turn downs coming out. I'm Looking for black pipes or black slip-ons. Going to be black powder coating some parts on the Vintage real soon.

 

[telenoiz]

The Dirty Bird peace pipe is pretty cool, and sounds like mega-blast on the video. I'm looking to stick with the dual pipes under the bags routing, so hoping one of the vendors come out with a set of slip-ons that appeal to me.

Samson has some fishtails out, and rush is supposed to have some in the next few weeks

 

[Matoska]

With a few homemade brackets you can use about anything you like. Mine has HD touring mufflers and Softtail tips

chirping noise? A loose drive belt will make a chirping noise.

 

[sjk3102]

Those pipe look nice, are they louder then the stage one?? im looking for a much deeper and louder sound, any suggestions would be appreciated. I knocked out the baffles on mine and it made it alittle louder, not enough for my liking.

I also knocked out the baffles, took about 20 minutes and it does sound better, I like it alittle louder so im waiting to see what comes out. I know the samson are out, i paid for them and then they tell me 6-8 weeks, got my money back. The basanni are also out and vance and hines coming soon. Does anyone know what are louder pipes, stage1 or stock pipes with baffles knocked out?

 

[sjk3102]
