M50 Stock Straight Pipes!

[ocdetails]

Very nice sounding! Was there any downside to what you did? When I took the baffles out of my last bike I noticed it ran a lot hotter and the pipes started to blue a bit. Lean, rich... one of the two. Any downside that you noticed?

[whiskeywilliams]

@ocdetails About the same as your experience. Not bad though, but I didn't end up having the bike long enough really to notice a long term downside. Normally you have a little bit of leeway messing with exhaust. It's when you mess with the air intake is when you can throw things out of whack. But just get a fuel mapper of some sort and you could fix, and probably improve performance. That's what alot of people do for quick easy performance; bigger intake, full exhaust, remap fuel.

no chicanes ?

[juicybooty123]

i dont know much about exhaust but did you have to take out the baffles to convert them to staright pipes cause i wanna put straight pipes on mine but i took the baffles out

[whiskeywilliams]

you have to take out the baffles AND the "mickey plates". Read the comments below to find out how to do that. Only taking the baffles out leaves the pipes "debaffled" but not straight all the way through.

Hey, do you remember what size hole saw you used for the larger diameter cut? Thanks.

[whiskeywilliams]

errr, no I don't.  As long as the smallest hole saw is big around enough to go around the baffle hole and the bigger hole saw is alittle smaller than the diameter of the entire pipe. Google "M50 hideaway" and search the forums, there's more specific info everywhere.

lovin the sound man, im on one of these at the moment aswell, thinking of putting the highway hawk turndowns on it, wanna keep the stocks as they are for warranty etc, but sounds proper nice mate!!

[whiskeywilliams]

thanx man. Yeah those highway hawks are bad ass.

[patrickjn77]

Love the bike. Thinking very seriously about getting this one. 2008 model. Are you very satisfied with yours?

[whiskeywilliams]

well I actually got rid of it, but NOT because of the bike's quality. It's a great bike, it handles well, it's fun to ride, doesn't feel heavy, and it's very comfortable. I had it for a year and it was easy to maintain and stuff. It just wasn't me, I'm more of an old school bobber type. The M50 is lean and mean. My only beef with it was a slight lack of power, but it's an 800 so you shouldn't expect a rocket. Other than that it's a great bike.

[djsixfoota]

How is your power after the pipeswhere debaffled? I heard that you have to jet your valves after you do that?

[whiskeywilliams]

naw man, I mean it wouldn't hurt to dyno it, but you should be OK as long as you don't dick with your air INTAKE. I did not dyno or have my bike tuned in any way after doing the dabaffle and everything was fine. Many others can back me up.

[alpinestar137]

the...NOW M50 are all fuel injected... not carbbed. and jetting has nothing to do with valves..just fyi man. and no i have done this too and power is still the same...i have taken mine to the dyno and no mods or anything and i pulled a 52.11 on an all gear run. and a 48.something on a roll on. so its still the same.

GOOD JOB NOW IT SOUNDS BETTER! mIKE

[IRONGC]

I´m getting my M50 next month and i definitely want pipes like that ! Could you explain me something ? You have to remove the baffles and then ?

[whiskeywilliams]

First remove the baffles, and then remove the other 2 plates.

[buellstein]

Big improvement!

[alwayz12ich]

nice man, how'd u gut out the pipes?

[whiskeywilliams]

AFTER I debaffled them, I just took a good sized pole and a small sledge and beat them out. Then took a sturdy metal hook and pulled them out. There's 2 plates in them BEHIND the baffles, so once they're out you have straight pipes.

[Timberland1952]

on cam it sounds almost vintage euro. Ok for the track.

[ballsdeep72]

sounds like a v-twin crotch rocket is all

[whiskeywilliams]

well, it's a suzuki. It's a "cruiser" but the way the engine is made, it's not going to sound like a harley or anything. The M50 tends to sound alittle "wound out" when reved up.

[IRONGC]

great pipes ! nice mirrors by the way..

[whiskeywilliams]

I have alot of videos of me riding.....

[Jarnson]

fucking ride it

[l0stncali]

nice, wish it was as clear on camera as in person.

[whiskeywilliams]

yea, the camera doesn't do it justice. It sounds alot deeper and stuff in person.
