rick37 Posted October 22, 2009 Report Share Posted October 22, 2009 ok here is the dealI was getting ready for my ride on weneday 10-21 and after rolling my bike out of the garage I noticed something was not right on my bike and after a few minutes I noticed I lost my muffler from the rear cyclinder,I mut have dropped it sometime yesterday when I went for a short ride.Any way I was wondering if there is a way to to fab up a adapter to make it 2 into 1 exhaust.Both of my head pipes are even at the back where they lip-ons go.

wnaplay Posted October 22, 2009 Report Share Posted October 22, 2009 Can you do damage by using only one muffler where as the engine is setup needing 2? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rick37 Posted October 22, 2009 Author Report Share Posted October 22, 2009 I am not sure I thought about getting a pipe with a diameter big enough to slip of them both then heating it up and trying to form it to fit tightly then have it chromed.But i may also get lucky,A buddy of mine has a set of slip ons now if the will fit. I have not seen them yet but my fingers are crossed Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

35RFTW Posted October 23, 2009 Report Share Posted October 23, 2009 You could easily run both cylinders into one, but you will need a bigger muffler to keep the flow like it was with the two. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
magifesq Posted October 23, 2009 Report Share Posted October 23, 2009 All good ideas - 1. What kind of bike do you have? yr / model2. What kind of style are you going for on the 2-1? maybe we can find a used or budget priced new one for yaAs far as hurting the engine, kinda depends on how you modify it.Short answer is if you do a 2-1 and restore original back pressure no harm done, if you reduce backpressure, depending on how much you reduce it, you'll run the risk of leaning out the fuel / air mix which could cause your bike to run hot and do internal damage over time, if off by a crazy amount it may damage it sooner. If you increase the back pressure then you lose power and richen up the fuel/air mix and run the risk of scoring the cylinder walls by having too much carbon build up.

magifesq Posted October 31, 2009 Report Share Posted October 31, 2009 Lol I remember doing that myself, I put a hand made cut & weld 2-1 on my 94 VT1100C (Spirit) it had a loud but kinda muffled sound - I put a Big ole Yoshimura Round CF muff on it. The bike has low compression from the factory so if you jetted the carbs for the ebay pipes then you should be close enough to do the 2-1. If you've not jetted the carbs, get it done sure beats paying for an engine along with the loss of power, etc. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

magifesq Posted November 6, 2009 Report Share Posted November 6, 2009 LOL!!!!!!! I had those straight bars on the bike for like 10 minutes - both master cylinders are angled, so when you straighten the bars you get that Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
