Emgo Exhaust??

[mgoodie_imp]

I dont mind not having the centerstand as I dont ever use it. After finally getting to ride with the new muffler I would say it sounds like a cross between a ricer car with loud mufflers and a raging beast that our bikes turn into with no muffler, theres not much muffling going on in there.

Offroad There was no end baffle on the muffler only one through the middle of the pipe.

That is not a good sound!

That is not a good sound!
It is not quite the sound I would like but for $58 with shipping its a sound that I really love if you know what I mean. But really I am satisfied with the quality if the pipe. I believe it sounds a bit like a ricer because or bikes are naturally lower pitched tones from the engine like a bigger displacement car engine does and I personally like the higher pitched "crotch rocket" sound but if you get the rpms up higher it sounds just like that.

I think it sounds pretty good, but I'll bet over time it will get quite a bit louder.
Now, what's the blue car in the background? I had a 2004 VW R32 so I recognize those dang hard to clean wheels!

How do you figure it's going to get louder?
Its just a Chevy Cruze Eco But yes those wheels suck to clean!

I am with you, as I eye that $800 plus Staintune. Crazy money for a slip on. From the pics, the Emgo looks nice. Shape is good, and the quality appears to be far beyond what you would expect for $58 bucks.

send a link to what you ordered so readers can check them out easier.

Amazon.com

I ordered the shorty version which is here: http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B008YEK...UTF8&psc=1

The only reason I posted the first link is it shows the dimensions. I wonder if they will sound like the Voodoo Shorty's someone else had here had put on his bike.

Ok everyone the new muffler showed up today and got a quick video of the sound. Enjoy!

Sounds great, just like mine. As for the center stand issue, I used a connecter pipe for my old Yamaha FZ1 and it has the center stand bracket on it. Came from Delkevic, I asked them if the connecter pipe could be bought separate and they answered in the affirmative. Make sure all clamps are super tight as mine tended to work loose at first.

I know this is an old post but wondering how that emgo Shorty muffler worked out in the long run. Also wondering what was the secondary point he used for the muffler hanger being that it didn't reach the original point at the rear peg. I have the Yoshi rs3 on mine now but am thinking of trying this emgo Shorty out being its only 55.00 bucks in eBay. Wonder if he even still has the bike?

I do not still have the bike but I only sold it a about a month and a half ago. It was still on the bike and had zero issues with it up to that point. It felt like a much higher dollar muffler (although not much muffling happening). I mounted the secondary point to the bolt that holds the brake caliper to the frame.

Why did you sell the bike, mgoodie? Have you bought something else?

 

[uscgmac_imp]

Ok, thanks for the response

I'm in the process of getting this "shorty" reverse cone slip on. Should have it by Friday. The cost is unbelievable on ebay! Only $46 shipped!

As "gcarper" stated, the key to avoiding mounting issues is getting a separate link pipe with an integrated center stand stop bracket welded on it. I removed my stock muffler last night to see what I'm up against.

There is about a 5.5 inch long "curved" link pipe already welded in place to the collector (and cat) for the stock 4:1 headers. Apparently this is not long enough for the 17" long Emgo to reach the existing secondary mounting point for the stock muffler. It needs to be extended with an additional link pipe attached to the end of the OEM link pipe.

I'd "estimate" the extra link pipe extension needs to be about 5 or 6" long, and might be longer as originally supplied from the manufacturer. It can be cut to length with a hack saw to achieve the proper length. JUST BE SURE THE CENTER STAND BRACKET IS STILL WITHIN THE USABLE SECTION, so the Emgo itself can be bolted to the existing secondary mounting point. The Emgo conveniently has an adjustable fastener for this mounting on the back side of the muffler. Thus, the secondary mounting point for THIS slip on does not need to be a precise measurement. Thank God for this included adjustability!

Surprisingly, the stock exhaust muffler weights about 10 lbs, and the Emgo is only about 3 lbs. I'm guessing the extra link pipe (and all associated clamps) adds about 2 lbs, so the net weight savings is ~5 lbs.

Why did you sell the bike, mgoodie? Have you bought something else?

Sold the bike because my wife is pregnant and dont want me riding for the time being. I dont know how it is where you are but here in St. Louis the drivers cant drive without staring at a phone and running people off the road.

 

[Cormanus]

Not unreasonable. It's an important time for you to be alive. More texters in Australia by the day, but stiff penalties for using mobile phones while driving has some deterrent effect.

I ordered the emgo muffler aslo. I liked the look and sound from various videos I saw. The shorty is actually 15.5 not 17". Although I think it comes in 17 and 19" sizes. The price I paid 55.00 is for the chrome one. The 46.00 one is bare aluminum. I already have a Yoshimora rs3 which already has a center stand bracket so no problems there, will work fine. I also have an extension from the Yoshimora pipe which should also work. If not then I'll either get a new extension pipe or mount the way mgoodie did it. Either way I'm just playing with it being the price was so low figured I would just try something new. I like the yoshimora muffler but it's still so dam big and not quite as loud as I would like, lol.

I will know for sure later this week, but my understanding is the price on ebay (and there are several higher variations) is still in the mid 40 dollar range, and this is for a CHROMED Emgo reverse cone slip on muffler. The manufacturer's part no. 80-84030, which includes pipe clamps and a set of 3 different sizes of pipe clamp coupling reducers. The price on Amazon for same is even cheaper.

 

[uscgmac_imp]

Yea, looks like your right. Just saw one for 46 or 48.00 ships from Tennessee. Good find. There are so many variations on ebay. Chromed

Looked back at my order and says 17" not 15.5 that must have been another I looked at. The other one says 17.5 so I guess it will be the same.

I have the longer reverse cone Emgos on a Bonnie, and they are great buys. No problems with them over 5 years now.

Ok, received my muffler today and all I can say is EPIC FAILURE!!! Never listen to someone who says a universal part bolted right on no problem. Couldn't get it to tighten down onto head pupe. Was way too loose and spacers did not work. The clamp is somewhat worthless. Needless to say my yoshimora RS3 is still on my bike right now. This one is going to need some more thinking.

Hmmm . . . sorry to hear! Still waiting for delivery of mine. The OEM extender pipe is 1 5/8" OD. The Emgo inlet ID is 1 3/4", so that's a diameter mismatch of 1/8". The reducers should have taken care of that, but did you reuse the OEM gasket from your original muffler's inlet? That might be necessary to adequately seal the Emgo's inlet and make a tighter clamp connection. What additional link pipe, if any, are you using?
