Buell XB series muffler modification Before and After

Its finally here. Sorry to everybody who has been waiting so long for this. My camera really doesn't do the sound much justice, it's just a digital still cam with a "movie mode". When you stand next to the bike the difference is quite dramatic. As far as installation, it only took me about two hours once I figured out the brackets. I did it right on the floor, no lift needed. If anybody has any questions just comment on the vid and I will reply.

Here is the original vid:

has bike run ok since and what did you do with the valve cable

[04xb12s]

I haven't put a ton of miles on it yet, maybe 1000, but it has been running fine. As for the valve cable, I loosely zip tied it above the muffler. You can tie it to almost anything, just make sure it is loose enough to allow the cable to move in and out.

How is the torque and the power?? Did the modified exhaust can give the bike more power?

[04xb12s]

The only difference I've noticed with the torque is a decrease in engine breaking when downshifting. As far as power, I have not noticed a difference. A power commander may help increase power with the exhaust mod, but I was after better sound more than anything.

I have to say! Really Amazing!!!

ThnQ for posting such a detailed video :)

i'm just in the process of buying a Buell. they have only the SX model here for 2010 (Living in Dubai) and i think it looks very very nice!

will be my 2nd bike and my first Buell and i'm very excited as i haven't had a chance to take a test drive, but when i read and hear about the passion people have for Buell bikes, that's enough conformation for me :)

I forgot to say "Thank you". Your video was very helpful when I modified my muffler. I removed the baffles completely and added another outlet on the right side of the muffler. The sound is better than before but I lost torque and power. Maybe, adding another outlet decreased torque and power... If you are interested in my sound video, you can find it by searching "Buell XB9R modified muffler sound"
