    Default sts exhaust

    Was wondering if the STS stock muffler will fit on a 2011 RSS?

    I don't THINK so...
    The new STS shares it's engine (991 series) with the RT; as does the 2013 RS...
    The older RS bikes had a 990 series engine with it's own exhaust configuration.

    Sorry!
    (But I could also be wrong...)

    No, it won't. It's the new design with the large Cat and the flanged joint like the RT's.

    ok thanks. I thought that would be the case. It's a shame cause that muffler looks much better than the old stock RS can.

    I have a Yoshimura on there now (far better than the hindle) I was just contemplating going back to stock. I love the sound of the yoshi but still have some backfire and popping issues. I have the O2 modifier on it and it helps reduce these problems about 90% but to totally eliminate it I would have to go to a fuel manager like the PC or JB. Thats a sweater thread that I'm just not anxious to pull. Seems like alot of trouble to go thru just for a better sounding pipe. Some things are just better left stock.

    Nobody enjoys adding farkles to the bike more than I do; but I won't touch intake, exhaust, or electricals...
    More trouble than they're worth!

    You just wedged a socket in the pipe??? Can you explain the benefit of this and how or why it would work? I wonder if installing a slip in baffle would accomplish the same thing that you did with a socket. Just guessing of course
