    Drilled exhaust

    Not really an appearence mod, more for sound. To make my exhaust a little louder i drilled (3) 1/4" holes in each pipe. Sounds much better at low rpms but you cant tell the difference when the bike is screaming (wich is what i wanted). I was afraid it would look horrible, but after sanding out the burrs and hitting it with a little paint you wouldnt notice unless you were looking for it.

    Anyway, low cost way of making your exhaust sound a little deeper

    Im glad you like the new sound. Would be a host of work to fill and grind all those holes if it sounded crap. Have you heard of SUPERTRAPP? Lots of fiddly little allen head bolts and adjustale plates mean you can go from totally uncorked to battery operated with a whizz on your power drill...

    Uncorked it shoots flames out the end of the pipe on the overrun

        Not really intrested in shooting out flames.

        Ive heard of car guys running a spark plug into thier exhaust and wiriring it to a switch. Have the car run rich and hit the switch for flames. Im assuming that was what the suggestion was or does a completely uncorcked exhaust shoot flames?

          Dunno, if it goes onto my bike then it either has to weigh less or make more power, so no extras or toys for looks. With the rings and end cap on then no flaming but, sure any unburn fuel in the system is going to ignite in the right conditions... My van does the same thing, but as I cannot see the exhaust and I have to accept other people's word for it..

            You also have to have a coil before the spark plug. And a relay, so that when you hit the switch it diverts the electricity from the ignition coil to the exhaust coil. I'm told not doing it that way can cause the muffler to explode like a hand grenade. I have a kit I bought from ebay I never used. Maybe one of these days I will.

              Nah you don't need a spark plug for a little fireworks. Hap's bike does it on decel too. He has a Mac pipe and race baffle I think....

              The spark plug is needed when you want BIG flames....
