Is it possible to sweeten the exhaust note on my 2009? I do not care for loud sounds but a little louder than stock would be ok. Also can this be done without changing carb or air intakes? I think the one lunger might sound nice. Walkingscar

Re: Louder exhaust sound Reply #1 - 04/26/12 at 09:24:42 You could drill some holes in the back end of that barge they call a muffler, or, drop $20.00 & stick a Dyna muffler on it, mellow sound, deeper, throatier sound, most likely require rejetting, either way,

Then go for it. either a little ventilating with a drill, dyna muff or hartman mod will provide a better sound.

If you live above 3k ft... it might not need a rejet, less than that and you probably will...

This is not a carb change... just slightly bigger jets... Very easy to do, and cost about $10...

Just don't open up too much... this bike will get loud very easily...
Too open, and you'll be setting off car alarms for blocks... Huh

...

Harley take-off mufflers do a great job without drilling holes. and they're cheap...

You could check out the ones that the RYCA guys are using too; several of those guys have complained that they are too loud, but if that floats yer boat....

They are made by EMGO, and any of their slip-on mufflers will work as long as they have the right inlet size for the header; I know MOTOBUDDAH flirted with a different style of emgo pipe.

Supertrapp also makes a few different models that will fit; again, find out the pipe size that you need to connect to and search that way; if you just look for LS650, or Savage, or S40 you won't find as much...

I got mine for free from my buddy Jay!! No idea what it is, but it looks awesome... bet it's going to be really loud too, so I'm thinking it'll need some extra baffling inside to calm it down.

If you are changing the exhaust and re-jetting it might be a good time to switch to a pod filter to take full advantage of the extra power you can get. There are tons of folks who have done these mods in the tech section, so everything you need is there to find if you just search a little bit...

If you buy an Emgo or Motoasia muffler, expect to be disappointed... Unless you really like flaming wads of rusty packing and baffling flying out the back of your bike.

If you like the look of the cheapy mufflers, gut them and repack with something decent. I run an empty 12" glasspack into a 29" fishtail pipe, which has a real baffle stuck in the end. I think a 12" baffle. And a handful of copper dish scouring pads tossed in to kind of calm things down.

Best sound for a Savage? Turn down exhaust tip where the muffler used to be. Sounds like a Chinook helicopter, Emgo mufflers it sounds like a Huey. Turn down tip will blow holes in your yard on shutdown. That's how I used to get rid of fire ant nests...

I found that if you look at the back of the stock muffler, you'll notice 4 pop rivets seemingly to hold the baffle assembly in, if you drill those out and open them up with a large unibit, approx 1/2 " ( be sure to take a magnet and get ALL the shavings out) it provides better breathing, a nice throaty sound and you can still maintain the great looks of the stock unit, and it seems its not enough difference air to fuel wise to require different jetting Smiley
