    been populare lately so, can anyone identify this pipe?

    I have looked all over, have no clue what it is.I love the sound and the looks,just curious,Anyone know what it might be?the baffle comes out and is repackable.

    Couple of questions:

    1. What is "populare"?

    2. Does the passage through the baffle go all the way through or is it blocked in the middle?

    It looks a lot like the chrome one that is on my son's 850 (see pic in my sig), that I have been told is a Jardine.

      Well, it does look like an European 1150.
      Pipe could be a black Supertrapp?

        "Populare" is an Italian verb meaning "To make into the Pope".

          Yeah, I did the quick internet lookup thing, too, but did not find anything obvious, so I had to ask.

                  I asked that because the baffle on my son's bike does NOT go straight through. There is a flat disk in the middle of that perforated tube. All of the exhaust comes through the collector, hits the disk at the front end of the baffle and is forced into the perforated tube. Because the perforated tube does not go straight through, all the exhaust then has to go through the perforations, into the outer chamber, then back through the perforations in the back half of the tube, to get out the hole at the back.

                  We have tried different materials in the outer chamber, ranging from a fiberglas blanket to loose fiberglas to coarse steel wool (should have used stainless ). The steel wool and the loose fiberglass do OK. The blanket was quiet, but rather restrictive, actually choking it down to where it could not breathe well at all. We have finally decided to just leave it UNPACKED. It actually sounds quite nice that way. As much as I like quiet bikes (hence my Wing), I might try to talk him out of that pipe so I can put it on Junior and give him the stockers, since he is riding his 1000 more than the 850 nowadays.

                    well i got on the bike and rode after valve adjustmen and now its dark so no pictures of the cone tonight oops lol.
                    Packing it doesnt really quiet it much but it does some.changes the tone a little also, i have house fiberglass in it right now,but it burns up in 2-3 weeks or so lol.
                    I will pop it out tomarrow n take a pic, i think it is due for a repack anyway,if u take this baffle outit get REALLY LOUD.
                    Remember mopar made an exhaust back in the 60's that had a cable operated cap that opened it after the header for the drag strip?i would love to make one for a bike,pull up to a harley that thinks he is loud n just blast it in thair face so they know how annoying it is lmao

                      I used this fiberglass muffler packing on a Wolf pipe, couple years ago... cheap, worked well, & good folks to deal with.

                          Meh, potato, potato.....the long filament stuff I linked lasts well too, and would probably be a bit more pervious. Besides, I wouldn't be caught dead with any L.A. Choppers stuff on my bike.
