Exhaust Updated photos with 2nd muffler - stealth!

The motor is invisible, nice work it beats riding under the cover of darkness like I do.


Hope you have some type of light, SVH! I'm scared to death to ride it at night without a light...Hehe. It's just a matter of time before a cop sees me cruising at 30 without pedaling...that will be the true test.

Another exhaust mod...

Well, I modified the exhaust even further. I added an extension on to the end of the muffler (actually a 90 degree elbow) and another piece of straight pipe. Those two changes made it much quieter - probably about the same amount as adding the second muffler! I'll post photos later....nothing too exciting, but it works that much better. I noticed what I think is a mild improvement in low end, and I'm still able to hit 30 no problem. I won't have more info on the performance changes (if any) until I can take a longer ride...I just blasted up and down my street because it's getting dark out and I don't have a headlight.

No light, just reflectors I am on a side street and speed limit is only 20 mph. The Dokken song Night Rider keeps going through my head, not my favorite song but approprate.

I have the fork put back together, just haven't had the time to find the dust covers for the sliders or the caps for the crown. Technically the fork works without them, just looks nicer with them.
 
Nice setup Warner. I'm going to have to try that muffler attachment.

Tracy, here's the latest exhaust mod. I added another elbow onto the end of the muffler and another length of pipe onto that. At idle, it's pretty darn quiet! At full throttle you can definitely hear it, but it's WAY quieter than it was stock (and the Mitsu is considered quiet in stock form). I may have gained a bit in the midrange and lost a bit on top, but I need to do some real testing beyond just buzzing up and down my street to know for sure. It still breaks 30mph in any case, which is fast enough for me! When watching the videos, keep in mind that the camera was practically on top of the bike when I came by, and that they pick up certain sounds much more than others. It's pretty quiet....esp at idle. I'm also convinced that much of the noise is NOT exhaust....it's INTAKE noise.

Here's a photo of the exhaust as it sits now:

And here's a video of it before the exhaust mods were done:

Let me know when it's ready....and then we'll talk about how much $ you need for it, okay?

Thanks bud,
