Default Holy mother-of all!

i just got my new exhaust from Barry off ebay. He tells me that this pipe is loud, but I never thought it would be this loud! People will be shooting at me from there front porch with this pipe.It is a quality product and Barry is a great guy to do business with,but I have got to fabricate something to make this quieter. Any easy ideas?here is picture of the pipe. its just a straight pipe.Who would have ever thought these little motors could put off a sound like this.

yes silencers work great just like a volume knob thats what a resonator pipe does as well. a custom motorcycle shop may have something if Norman doesn't but most of us know Norman has 3 of everything!

That pipe look Great. I suspect you will have to look for something like the baffle to a Whizzer. Or you could look for what we used to call a Snuff or Not, I think they are selling them again. It looks like a washer with a small stem off the side, you drill a hole in the pipe near the end and put this device in the megaphone and then you can Snuff or Not. LOL. You turn the little handle and it puts the washer in the way of the flow of the noise, or not. Have fun, Dave

PS: I have an old one I will try and get a pic.

that is a very nice looking muffler , but yes it still needs a baffle installed on the inside of the larger piece of pipe. Some modification to the interior of that pipe and you will have something very cool and not so loud

When I get back to Texas I hope to be there this week end PM me and I'll see if I can knock you out a baffle that will make it into a pease pipe.

Thanks for the info Toker_Ace.

I had though about one of these as well for my chopper. I have a couple of Briggs & Stratton mufflers I had thought about cuttint the 'pipe' end off and slipping them into the but they are 1.5" outer diameter. I am sure something like this would take the harsh loud sound out of the pipe. Not sure if the are small enough mufflers to fit the ID of the pipe but maybe the local small engine shop would have something?

I also like the idea where someone stacked some roofing washers to build a baffle maybe attached to a baracket and attach on the frame side of the bike. interested in hearing your results as I planned to add the same pipe because it really looks cool but I don't want to piss off anyone either.

I have had some luck using stainless steel or copper scrubbing pads . Stuff as many pads as you need down the pipe and use a stiff metal screen (like chicken wire) with a friction fit to hold them in . .... D.J.
