A Very Baffling question

Yes thanks for that. Have already looked at the one he does.

Although he seems a nice guy and I've no doubt he knows lots about exhausts and I don't wish to be disrespectful but there are a couple of thinks I don't like about his product. His pipe is made of ally coated steel and I think it might soon get burnt to a horrible colour and start to rust. The muffler bracket looks a bit crude and I notice he does not use the hanger that the cat used to hang on. Wondered if that might put extra stain on the manifold joint.

Its just the way I see it rightly or wrongly.

Check out the sidewinder exhaust that Pitbull puts out on this video. It looks really cool for an F3 S
Go to 10:40 on the video.

Thanks for that AY4B. Love the muffler in vid and that's the sort of thing I had in mind. But on the vid I cant actually see what bypass pipe he is using. Looks like he removes a whole length of pipe along with the cat cus you see him unscrewing a monitor probe (or what ever it is)

It is the same bypass that Lamonster sells. What they did is take the whole pipe, front and back off , it is easier that way but you do have to undo the CO2 sensor up front. Once you have it off it is much easier to deal with the 3 Springs .

You just need a tool to pull the Springs . I made one from a paint can opener, I just bent the end enough to snag the Springs and you can stick a wrench or something in the end to pull on.

Many thanks for the clarification, yes I see what they did now. Read another tread on here re the fiendish 3 springs and lots of tools/methods been put forward so think I have that covered.

Think it quite possible then the muffler shown in the video can be used with Lamonster's pipe. What I'm after is not just the slight increase in power but a louder more raucous, exciting sound.

Yes I read that thread last night and tried the dogleash method last night to put in the canopener baffle. I wished i would have just taken the whole thing out like I did the first time.

Sound

Remember Sound = More Power. :yes::yes::yes::yes: GO FOR IT , :lecturef_smilie: :thumbup: :clap:

Whats baffling now is when I start it , Im getting a loud rattling sound. It calms down but I can still hear a rattle. Sounds like a rattle snake at my heals. That baffle may be doing it, I dont know. When you put it in, You have to tap ot in with a socket and hammer and it is pretty tight. The Big city thunder baffle is cone shaped and has a set screw. That may keep it from rattling.

I've read through all this thread and it is interesting to hear what is said but I still have a dilemma. My ride is a F3-S and I want to do a cat bypass and do away with the stock muffler and use a motorbike sport muffler (looks better in my eyes) in stead. But the thing is, the vast majority of non Cam-Am mufflers are end fed not side fed like the stock one.

As we all know the Lemonster pipe feeds the side of the stock muffler as one would expect so if I buy that one I'm stuck with the Cam Am muffler.:gaah:

Any ideas, suggestions, alternatives would be welcome.

If you are wanting a sport bike looking muffler on your F3S suggest looking at the Akropovic Sinister Exhaust with the Lamonster Pipe.

Thanks for that. Have had a look and it looks the biz and seems it has good perform too but unfortunately too expensive by the time you add on shipping to the UK and import tax.

Have just ordered Lamonster's by-pass pipe so will try that with my stock muffler first and then take it from there.

If you really like it, keep an eye open on ebay. New old stock routinely comes up for less than half of MSRP. That's how I got mine.

Thanks for the tip will keep my eye open. Did look at a couple on there today (full price) and both advertisers said 'don't post to UK'.
