Buell XB series muffler modification

Modifying a stock muffler off a 2003 Buell XB9S. I installed this muffler on my 2004 XB12S when it was finished. It was an exact fit on the bike, no modification had to be done to the bike itself or the chin spoiler. This project turned out better than I could have expected and it sounds awesome on the bike. Definitely a lot cheaper that a $800-$900 custom exhaust. I did this entire project in my garage with the exception of the welding. The only cost I incurred was $5-$6 for a can of temperature rated exhaust spray paint. Check out my other videos for the follow up, I should have it posted shortly.

Wat maps r u running? Timing map? N Wat other mods? I did this exhaust mod n my bike misses when cold.

@mailtoome1 The bike is completely stock other than this. I haven't had any issues with it yet. I have heard of others with this problem though, the only thing I can think of is that my bike may be a few years older than most that I've seen with issues after this mod. Maybe the older bikes are running some different tuning that take this mod better?

is this a "drummer"?

[04xb12s]

@epitelionew, I think this is basically what drummer would do if you sent him your muffler. I can't say for certain as I have never seen his work first hand. In pics and on his website fabrication skills do appear to be top notch to me though.

is your exaust much hotter coming out, also do you backfire?

[04xb12s]

@jakewade187..It will backfire every now and then, but its not bad...I don't feel like it backfires any more than it used to though, its just louder. As for the heat, I have no idea, it really shouldn't make a difference. Nothing that I took out would have a cooling effect that I can think of.

Thanks. I installed the stock map n now its working much better. Tps reset helped a lot. At 5.5%

Great video, well done. As a welder I want to my own "drummer" or "Special Ops" pipe but I want to make a conical tip going straight out the back shooting hot air on the rear tire. Get it sticky for racing.
