What was I thinking modding my muffler before even installing it? I guess I was thinking I wouldn't do it once I started riding.
Anyway, I have an eBay (LEB) kit, standard 68.5cc kit, cheap. I was looking at the muffler the other day, roughing up the chrome with sandpaper so I could spray it with some grill black high temp paint. There was stuff inside it making noise, so I opened it up. It was just a little welding slag, so I dumped that out and decided to see how this was made. I just drew this picture from memory, so forgive me:
I didn't want to go wild on it, so I was looking for any little thing I could do to open it up a bit. With both ends off I looked at the 2 tubes that go through the baffles and are crimped on the ends. I thought the holes drilled in them were too small, so from the tailpipe end I stuck a long screwdriver into each tube and twisted until I opened up the end of each tube. Not fully open, only about halfway.
I thought this would free flow a little bit more, but still keep the noise down, and it's reversible with a pair of needle nose pliers.
I have searched and seen so many different muffler mods here, so how does this one weigh in?
TIA
