    If anyone has ever wondered how those cheap 12" shorty mufflers sound, here you go!

    Just got the 12" shorty mufflers welded to adapters and then bolted to the stock head pipe. I'm using some ugly car exhaust clamps right now, but those will ...

            Well, if by pipes you mean the collector on up to the head pipes, that is stock. My original megaphones were all rusted out so I cut them off.

            As far as the mufflers go, they are from Amazon, but all the big online stores sell them: http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B001TNVG46

              Hi,

              Thanks for the video. Yes, they sound good. How loud are they?



              Thank you for your indulgence,

                Well, they made a considerable difference compared to the open pipes, which I was surprised by. I didn't think they'd serve very well at actually muffling, being that they are straight through and only 12" long.

                It's loud though, but not so much that you have to raise your voice to speak around it. Sounds orgasmic at 6-9k too

                It sounds kind of crazy, because at idle and cruising you hear the distinct "wup wup wup wup" of the engine, but when you roll on it hard, it's almost like the sound waves all get in single file line and march out of the pipes, haha. Two totally different sounds....although I know I did a terrible job of explaining it.

                        Yep...I'll do it tonight


                        Will this wrap all four pipes down to the muffler? Is one roll enough is what I'm asking. http://www.jpcycles.com/product/308-146

                          I didn't wanna sit in my front yard and free rev it (I normally wait until the afternoon during the weekend), but I did get a little bit of it driving by. It sounds deeper in person, this little cheap Flip cam has a terrible mic.

                            It appears to me that a whole lot of things are missing in that video!
                            How do you do it?
