The stock exhaust is super heavy with a giant catalytic converter that does this air cooled bike no favors. So I picked up a carbon fiber Akropovic knock off and a mid pipe from a ZX400 (since it was shaped similar) did a very slight modification and using a KTM exhaust hanger was able to get it to fit up just how I wanted.
I probably lost 10+ lb and according to the non scientific decibel meter app - only picked up a very very slight increase in volume (with the sound damper cap in).
I think it sounds lots better, what do you guys think?
Really the best part is that having a cat on an air-cooled bike makes them run really hot and generally a bit too lean for my liking so deleting the cat on my other bike actually help me pick up a few MPGs and made it run much cooler. I'm hoping to see the same on this bike since it's essentially the same machine just longer suspension than the Scrambler Classic.
