Stock muffler drilling? If you please...

[watchman]

Just checking back to see if anyone new has drilled out the stock muffler from the back side and what your overall thoughts were on sound improvement. I know most everybody has gone with aftermarket muffler setup, but I only want a little more sound and don’t want to spend any more than I have to get it. Please if you have done it let me know what you thought. Good or bad, Thanks!

I think you'd need to mess with the catalytic converter to make and decent increase.... and no matter what you do that thing is still going to be butt-ugly.

Been awhile since I had seen a Spyder with the stock pipe on it until I was at my dealer this past week---- can't get over how honking huge that thing is!

:agree:

Should ALWAYS wear ear protection-- wind noise is horrible on the ears--- then add the exhaust and you're doing even more damage.

I don't have that problem.:2thumbs: I wear two hearing aids because where I worked it was awful loud. Just shut them off.

I love my stock muffler! I guess it's my age and the fact that I hate NOISE! I tried the Warrior, Micron and another one (I forget the name) and switched back to the stock and have never looked back.

By the way, my stock has the "thing-of-a-jig" that was provided free that covers the burn spot. I had to drill the stock muffler to install it so I guess my muffler fits the description of having been "drilled". :roflblack:

By the way, I need another "thing-of-a-jig" for my wife's Spyder, if anyone has one for sale. The dealership that provided me with one went out of business.:dontknow:

It seems like i'm still the only one who drilled it out the long way'
Like i told you almost a year ago ,A little better MPG's a little increase in sound.
But ''remember'' it's not for the faint harted to go in that waynojoke

How did you make with your idle problem?
Did you have to leave it at Palmer's?

Yep, brought it in today 8 am, Jason was puzzled, Will try to figure it out hopefully in a day or two.
At this point i don't care how long it takes.
It was in the shop the whole month of July for an ECM,
So back then when they said the part was OBO and knowing BRP's track record ,
I bought a new Kawasaki the second day it was in the shop,
I just felt naked with out a bike to ride. So when they fix it they'll give me a call.
Mean while i can still ride the Kawasaki.

stock can mod

don't do it. the assembly is complex and it will always rattle internally... did it when great aftermarket pipes were in the thinking stages as i couldn't take the vespa like stock sound. very happy with two brothers dual.
