2018 EX minor exhaust mod

[Jfro5687_imp]

Hi all. I have a 2018 EX. Very pleased with it overall. Trying to resist the urge to tinker too much. I live in the UK so I'm not too sure how many decent exhausts there are out there that would suit the CB. I have seen many pictures of these Moriwaki's and other 4-4 systems that look great but cost a fortune, even if I could get one. So I decided to have a good look at the standard exhaust and see what I could maybe do to it. There was a baffle in there with three smallish holes that looked like it would come out easily. So i used a 1" hole cutter that fitted perfectly down the pipe and drilled out the baffle. It came out extremely easily and then i used a magnet on a stick to re-trieve the swarf and remnants. Again easily. Used a file to smooth off the bore and it was a very rewarding and tidy job, if i do say so myself! Does it sound different. Well yes. Hard to describe in words but the exhaust gases sound 'cleaner' coming out. ( no i dont mean emissions ). Slightly less rasp and maybe even 'hiss' if that makes sense. Sounds bleedin lovely TBH. removing the baffle can only be a good thing so I reckon I will happily live with it as standard now. Saved a fortune aswell. I write it here Just incase anyone else was wondering the same thing....great forum BTW.

Hi jfro, provided you have a youtube channel, whilst the video is playing on your pc in youtube double click on the address bar which will then highlight ( different background color )

(Shameless plug of one of my clips)
then copy and paste into a NEW line ( start point at the left margin ) in the post in this forum and check if it presented in red when you are in the preview mode.

Due to data limits in the forum we can only accept links to pics and video clips ( remember it's free for us to use, Thanks Guth )

Ah, ok. I dont have any youtube and think this is probably beyond my abilities. I have just been outside to try and video it but TBH the video doesnt pick up the difference that I can hear. Shame. I dont want to oversell this mod but i am pleased with it and just wanted to share with others who may be interested....

Well youtube is not hard to operate, when you apply for a "channel" just tell them " username; red giraffe, password notinterested2019days and a ( throwaway ) email adress, once accepted it asks you if you want to upload a video, click on "add video" and it presents you with a familiar windows like file structure of your pc, navigate to the videofile on the hard drive or memory card and it will start to upload presenting a progress bar.
Would it help if i made a step by step howto with screenshots?

I would also bookmark that homepage so it is easy to find again.

Probably worth trying at least, many video tutorials available or just ask here, best of luck!
