Im not a mind reader,, you gotta tell us whats on it,, now, to solve your problem,, what DO you want? Do you want to have it sound like a sewing machine? Or, is some rumble good? If you can find someone with a stock muffler on, give it a listen,, its not loud at all,, if you want just a bit of a husky sound out of it, nothing raucous & obnoxious, the Dyna is a good answer,. & its Cheap,, I guess ya could go listen to a HD with dynas on it,, just use one ear..

haha Sorry, you didn't say it was rusted out originally. I thought maybe you just found the stock muffler too loud.

Ear plugs would help, that was a serious answer.

I didn't think the stock muffler really sounded all that bad. Was quiet but not as bad as alot of other bikes I've heard.

I just ripped mine off and it's in great shape. I don't have any plans of putting it back on so picking one up used probably wouldn't be too hard.

You could always check the diameter or have an adapter made to fit a Goldwing muffler on there...
Harley shorty muffler is louder than a stock one that isn't blown out, but not obnoxious...

I'd stay away from most all aftermarket mufflers (almost always louder)
... and look to adapt a quiet stock muffler from a bike you like, or locate a stock Savage muffler in good condition...
I've got two stockers, but shipping would cost your left nut... maybe you are close to some member here with a spare...

Ludicrous Speed !... ... Huh

CBH, How about Harley HARFXS1584 Part # 65842-07. 80 db. $20-40. Installs in an hour and required no offset adapter for my Savage. Need: (1) 1/4-20 bolt about 1 1/4" long, 1/4" washers, Drink can for home made gasket. Aftermarket heat shield May have to grind front boss off of muffler to clear. May not. About 1/2" shorter than stock. Quiet. (Which is a relative term.) Go to Serowbot's muffler section in Tech to view.

dasch Serious Thumper Offline SuzukiSavage.com Rocks! Posts: 1137	Re: I don't like loud!! Reply #11 - 07/07/11 at 05:08:40 a good stock muf is quieter than any HD one. But CBH, Loud and quiet are very subjective categories. With a goldwing in the barn... might be that you just got used to that smooth, civilized 6cyl flow, you will never get that out a single.

I have a harley muffler with the baffle knocked out. It's not too loud. Shocked

Sorry to threadjack but, I was thinking about knocking the baffle out of my HD muff too. Any negative effects from doing that? I'm wondering if it won't have the back pressure it needs (?) for adequate torque.

LOUD PIPES SAVE LIVES! Cool
