    Default My Custom Built Exhaust

    How many folks noticed I have changed up on my sig. picture?? That exhaust you see on it. Is a custom I used a cherry Bomb inserted a 1' long baffle with a freeze plug welded in the end going into the muffler. Then I took a chrome cover off a vtx1800 stock exh. and put it together.
    SOUNDS GREAT!!!! Also because I kept the back pressure it RUNS GREAT
    The only thing I have left to do is build a chrome hanger to take the place of the steel strap i am currently using. Total cost of my exhaust was $30.** for the cherry Bomb , Had the old stock exhaust with the chrome I needed laying around as I did the baffles and $1.00 for the freeze plug $31.*** and a little time is all I have invested. Now if I would not have had the other stuff laying around. I bet I could have still picked most of what I needed up for around a $100.** so either way its a cheap mod compared to what they are selling the after market mufflers for.

    The pictures are nice, but now it is time for a video to let us all hear how it actually sounds.

    It has give me NO problems as of yet. I still need to take it up and have the J.B. set to the dyno. Really all you need to do is find some junk exhaust off of a cruiser. Get the chrome covers off of the Mufflers. Mine came off of a stock 2007 VTX 1800N model exhaust. Pick up a cheap cherry bomb at your local auto parts store. Mine came from Oreilly Auto Parts. Get you an open baffle some place and install a car freeze plug in one end of it. Put it into the back side of the muffler with the F. Plug going in first. Needs to go in about a foot deep.As far as mounting mine. I cut my stock off and used adapters to put my modded exhaust on. I will have to play with a few before I actually built one for anyone but me. Don't want to mess any one's bike up but ' my own. I really do not think you would even need a J.B. with this mod. because of the back pressure.

    That makes a lot of sense, much better to be safe than sorry. Since I already have the Hindle, I think I will stick with that. Are you going to be at SitS? I would like to see, and hear, this in person, and do a comparison as well.

    Good video clip for the sound. Any chance you could do the same thing except with you doing a ride by and somebody else holding the camera/phone to see what it sounds like under street conditions. The video quality not so important it the sound.
    I will try to put one of the baffles together to show you what I am talking about in the next day or so. May even try the vid thing if I get a chance All the freeze plug is for is to keep some back pressure. I tack welded mine in place.

    There ya go!!! Thats how I done it just kept playing until I found what I liked and the spyder ran well with. Anyone that says these Spyders don't have a mind of their own is NUTS!!!!!!! When it comes to exhaust We must compromise. If the Spyder don't like it you won't either !!

    Default My Baffle

    Sorry these photos are not better but' its what I got. Hope it works for you. If you notice I have a photo of the freeze plug by it self. That is what you want about a foot or so down into your muffler for the back pressure. Now I used a baffle just like the one I have photoed. You could use just about anything as long as you can get it in far enough and make it stay in the muffler. Hope this helps
