Description :-
This is the stock slip-on that I have modified. First thing you should notice is, it is 4\" shorter than stock. Here\'s what I did, I drilled out the rivets to the cover and removed it. I then cut off both ends of the muffler and threw away the center section. I purchased a piece of 5\" exhaust pipe from a local muffler shop. I measured the length to make up the muffler 4\" shorter than the stock one and cut the new piece of pipe to length. I welded the existing ends onto the 5\" exhaust pipe making up the new muffler. I then cut down to matching length the stainless steel cover and riveted it onto the new muffler. Before welding all this together, I taped it together with sheet metal tape and installed it to hear the sound. That\'s how I knew what length to cut it to. How does it sound? At first I loved the sound. It is deep, throaty, and powerful sounding. (Oh yea, I spent eighteen dollars building this one and seventy dollars building the glasspack slip-on). Now I find the noise level of the stock looking one to be a little too loud. I plan on removing the SS cover, cut off the end cap and installing a little steel packing and some screen material to hold it in place. I will let you know how it comes out.

P.S. If you want to hear it, e-mail me and I will give you my phone number and I will start it up over the phone. I know some of you think this if foolish, this sound thing, but some of us like to hear a little character noise from our bike.
