Re: Muffler Swap
Hey guys, i know this is an old thread but im gonna try to ask anyway. lol, i dont have a micrometer or caliper so does anyone know the exact size of the outside diameter of the pipes that come out of the motor on the gz? And can i just put or slide a new muffler on to the original pipe after cutting off the ugly original muffler? And whats a reducer and what does it do ?
sorry, i dont know much about cars or motorcycles. Please help. DAVE. Login or Register to Remove Ads |

Re: Muffler Swap
i just put on a muffler and i had to cut past the rear bolt hole for the beauty plate. its no biggie the front bolt holds it on fine. i used the super long emgo reverse cone muffler

Re: Muffler Swap
Ok, .... I installed EMGO muffler about a week ago - it did sound louder than I expected, but now it sounds too extreme for my taste. I'm planning to make a baffle out of the peace of a pipe which is left uncut on a bike and see what happens. I like the look of a simple turn out muffler too much to give up immediately

Re: Muffler Swap
the megaphone look is not in my taste either. so why did i replace the stock one with an emgo megaphone? :itsokay:

Re: Muffler Swap
sure it does but a regular aftermarket muffler (non megaphone ) would look even better still :poorbaby:
