If you don't get an error message, then check your email account for an activation message. If you get a message stating that the email address is already in use, then your account still exists so follow the instructions in the forum FAQ for resetting your password.

    Have you forgotten your password or have a new email address? Then read the forum FAQ for details on how to reset it.

SS Exhaust

I just received this V&H SS exhaust (thanks, rifrafracing):

image.jpg(It's to the lower right of my V&H "Street Megaphone")

1. Are those six indents designed to be optionally drilled out?

2. Were the six holes in my Megaphone originally filled in?

3. Is there any fiberglass in the SS? (I was told there is in the Megaphone).

The SS looks so much more restrictive that I'm concerned re-jetting may be needed.

#1 Probably no
# 2 No
#3 yes, it can be repacked
Don't know if it any more restrictive.
 
I just tried the SS muffler. A bit quieter than my old Megaphone, but still enough of a bark. I won't drill any holes in it.

Talk about bark, I ran her for a few seconds with the open headers. Memories of when I used to terrorize the population with my Z1. :devilish:
 
That SS can is very nice looking Rob.
I have a brand new V+H 4-1 megaphone exhaust that was bought about 15 years ago. Its the plain jane chrome muffler. Will be looking for one like yours to give it a little visual upgrade.
 
There was a NOS one offered here a while back; I didn't think it would fit my bike (still not sure about the headers). Wish I'd have jumped on it:

Yes, that is super nice. If you are good to the can on setup like this you can always sandblast and repaint the header to keep it looking mint down the road as it ages.
 
I believe they make/or used to make a competition baffle for that pipe.
they were bigger inside diameter and definitly louder!
 
My Yoshimura race bend has a similarly constructed baffle as the V&H SS can, with the exception of the indentations, but it was not packed. I drilled six holes in the outer plate and four holes in the upstream plate to let it breathe a little more. I really liked the change in tone and it required some additional tuning to get the jetting dialed in. Bottom line...it ran great and sounded awesome.
