DevilDriver Posted July 2, 2004 Report Posted July 2, 2004 im getting ready to put my top end back together this comeing up week and had an exhaust question. the motor is getting punched .040 over and a set of vitos power pistons are being installed. k&n/ uni filter will be installed. with these mods i want to let it breath too. i dont have the money for a complete exhaust system right now though. will using the stock silencers with aftermarket mufflers restrict the flow too much? obviously it wont be as good as ALL aftermarket components but it will help it breath better right? im looking at a set of FMF fatties. i plan on adding the after market silencers eventually but dont haev the extra cash at this time. think it would be ok?

racer Posted July 2, 2004 Report Posted July 2, 2004 thats a hell of a question. or what about the other way around factory silencers and aftermarket pipes? any thoughts anyone. Quote
Stomp77 Posted July 4, 2004 Report Posted July 4, 2004 I have fmf fatties and i used to run aftermarket silencers. Until one day i blew out the packing in the woods. I came home and used my dremel to bore out the stock silncers so they would slide over my fmf's and have run the stock silencers ever since, they have metal baffles in them instead of packing. the bike acutally seems snappier off of the line and i never have to mess with packing plus shee is a little quiter at idle. so, IMO stock silencer's kick ass.

DevilDriver Posted July 6, 2004 Author Report Posted July 6, 2004 hey guys, thanks for the input. i think i might have worded my question wrong. i mean the front half of the exhaust. from the cylinder to about half way down the frame. the front pipe. what is the difference in those compared to aftermarket? less restrictive? complete sets are over $500 for the pipes from cylinder heads back. i was wondering if i would still notice an increase if i used the stock front pipes form the cylinder back to half way down the frame and then put on a set of Fatties or something for the back half. would it help the machine breath better or should i just wait will ive got more cash for a complete system? sorry for any confusion. brainfart lol Quote
