I did this too but with D&D cans . And the mileage did drop on mine .....around 36 mpg . Used to run around 40 or a little better .(tpbio @ Oct. 17 2006,13:02) Tim,
Actually I just ripped all the guts and stuffing out of mine! It is REALLY loud and low. I really think I do not have to worry about deer now, but still keep a wary eye out anyway!
I done this about a month ago. I ride to work as much as possible, 20 miles round trip, and go on longer trips on weekends. I am still getting around 42 MPG. I rode with my cruiser friend on Sunday, a little over 100 miles, and got 47.5 on the readout. I drilled 3 more holes in each can after I got home from work today, so now I have 9 in each can. I havent got to ride it yet because its raining here but I plan on ridding to work tomorrow so I will post again after I get home tomorrow. I do have a little back fireing when I gear down with high RPMs so I think I am going to do the marble mod. I am going to get the D&D cans sometime when the funds are availble but this mod does sound good, and is more in my price range, FREE.(steelhead @ Oct. 17 2006,13:35) Thanks for the feedback everyone. I am very interested in this mod. If I do it, I'll post up the results.
Those who have done it, your MPG experience would be appreciated. Georgiabusa_05, how long have had the stock muffler mod for?
Your comments appreciated, Thanks TPBIO.
Get a Cobra FI2000R (cheaper) or a Power Commander and a BMC filter with your D&D's....they'll make a BIG diff in power, throttle response and revability over just the D&D's alone.(georgiabusa_05 @ Oct. 17 2006,20:50)I done this about a month ago.
