Gut Factory Muffler

[ChipBeck_imp]

Yea I know, I'm chasing 40 year old memories, probably fuzzy memories.

That Staintune is just so expensive, looks almost stock and I'm not sure it will be loud enough for me.

From what I remember seems like the Kerker exhaust was squared off on the end, like the picture below

Maybe I will go so fast enough, no one will see the mess inside from the back, at least not for long ;-)

Not really, I think the louder it is, the slower I will go?

Off,

I wish you were closer so you could take my CB11 out for a ride. Like you, I think I'm a connesour of good motorcycle sound. The Staintune slip on is straight through with no baffles at all. It doesn't quiet the bike much but it deepens the tone a bit and it sounds bitchin'.

Here's a little test you can run. Take your muffler off completely and ride your bike. It will run fine and then you'll know the loudest it can be. It is still being muffled by the catalytic converter so it will be quieter than you think. If you gut your can completely so only the cut off megaphone with no end cap remains your bike will be a bit higher pitched and slightly quieter from every direction but behind. The Staintune works like the cherry bomb mufflers that were popular on hot rods and muscle cars in the 60's. Straight through, zero back pressure, and a perforated inner tube that kills the highest frequencies to give the exhaust a more pleasing (to most ears) tone without making it much quieter.

The catalytic converter does much the same thing. Keep us posted. I like the look of that Kirker pipe too.
