Guest Mr. Horsepower Posted October 22, 2008 Share Posted October 22, 2008 ah now i see...that was the post that inspired me to want to gut my exhaust in the first place...and the one that makes me want to black the whole thing out...i am waiting on a friend to get his painting equipment and i will then transform my red white and blu to a completely blacked out bike. i am gonna black out everything that i can hit with a spray gun. i am going with the roadwarrior style of matte black.

Guest JMUVFRrider Posted March 22, 2009 Share Posted March 22, 2009 Anyone got a video of this yet? The original video is no longer Being somewhat of a VFR/motorcycle novice (I've only been riding for about a year), can someone send to me or post on here more details/pictures of exactly where these drill holes are meant to be made (straight and bend??)? It would really help me out and for those who may not, like myself, be great with working on machines, etc. Thanks so much...here is my email if you decide to send it to me directly (virginiaex@gmail.com).

Guest JMUVFRrider Posted April 6, 2009 Share Posted April 6, 2009 This is for you 6th gen. VFR owners. I'm one of those folks who likes the look of the stock pipes, so I drilled them out. There have been lots of interesting suggestions about how to do it here, but only loose reference to the exact tools. If you have a drill (and I recommend an electric one), get these two items. Both were bought for just under $20 at Home Depot. Two of the pipes are straight shots, so insert the bit as far as it goes and drill away. The other two pipes have a bend, so you will have to drill at an angle. The beauty of the bit is that, for the angled drill holes, it chews away at the pipe without having to worry about starting a pilot hole, scratching the visible outlet portion of the pipe, etc. The bit is by eazypower and is called an Isomax countersink, 5/8". The extension is an Irwin Speedbor, 12" long. Both are virtually indestructible. Happy drilling! border='0' alt='user posted image' /> 100_3000.JPG Hello all, Very novice to the motorcycle world as I've only been riding my VFR for nearly a year now. This mod sounds great but I'm a little confused about where one should drill these holes out (straight and bend??). Can someone please explain in the simplest terms or pics possible. It would be quite helpful. Thanks all. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest JMUVFRrider Posted April 7, 2009 Share Posted April 7, 2009 found this, has a few pictureshttp://www.vfrdiscussion.com/forum/index.php?showtopic=30872 Pictures from prior post don't exist any longer...anyone else have some pictures of where one is to drill or the drill holes themselves? thanks.

Here's my $70 exhaust, including custom bent and soldered elbow; It's a knockoff of a Magnaflow "bullet", made for ricer posers, light and straight, less than 1in. packing between the chromed wall and the inner screen. Gotta love cheap and good stuff from cars that fit bikes!. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Prymsopssm8 I really like the sound, below 3k rpm it has this subsonic baritone, then after it just growls and growls.

Guest PlayWithGravity Posted May 3, 2010 Share Posted May 3, 2010 Full gut. Gutting the hard way. Drilling 4 or 6 straight or bent holes. Ugh... I still don't get it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest whitecl0ver Posted May 21, 2010 Share Posted May 21, 2010 (edited) So I read through this whole thread and dont see many cons to running a gutted exhaust. Are there any cons to running a gutted exhaust? Like does it F with back pressure? Which could cause a power drop, also I noticed a comment about the cat clogging up and some one bike catching on fire.... How many miles do you all have on your 6th gen gutted exhaust and have you experienced any issues? Just not looking to hose my junk up by swapping stock exhaust to a full gut.

Member Contributer ECX585 Posted May 21, 2010 Member Contributer Share Posted May 21, 2010 how do the sounds of semi-gut, full-gut, and staintunes compare? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest whitecl0ver Posted May 21, 2010 Share Posted May 21, 2010 how do the sounds of semi-gut, full-gut, and staintunes compare? Check you tube....The sound from stock to full gut is un friggin believable. I was able to snag a fully gutted stock exhaust from a member here (pick it up Thursday). I love the sound (I just came off a V-Star 1100 with a full Cobra exhaust) so i doubt the full gut will be any where near as loud as I'm used to. I just want to know of any possible negatives to running a a gutted exhaust over time, as I plan on putting about 15,000 miles a year on this bike.

Guest PlayWithGravity Posted June 22, 2010 Share Posted June 22, 2010 I did this mod today by drilling holes in the exhaust. Buy a 1/2" bit, 12" long. Stick it as far down each exhaust outlet as you can. Drill till it goes through. Bit cost $15. The $10 one I tried was a piece of shit and the tip broke, so don't cheap out on the bit. The improvement in sound is nice. Subtle but worth $15 and 15 minutes for sure. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest zeocen Posted August 21, 2010 Share Posted August 21, 2010 Would anyone happen to have a soundclip of a drilled exhaust? None of the ones I tried in this thread work anymore and I'm quite keen to hear what it sounds like! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ninjadoc Posted June 7, 2012 Share Posted June 7, 2012 Can any one plz post some pics of the drill location? None of the images and vids work on the thread any more :( do we just stick the drill right up through the hole in the exhaust and drill away? Roughly what all location do we drill like 12 o clock 3 , 5 7 9 like that? What's the bend pipe and straight one ? Complete mechanical noob here, just saw this thread after researching the other gutting One for hours :) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ninjadoc Posted October 31, 2012 Share Posted October 31, 2012 Gonna go ahead and drill the holes this weekend, any advice much appreciated. If I mess up might go ahead and get delk exhaust Hope I am doing it right :( Only reason going for this is to get good sound for the videos, and to keep the stock exhaust look Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
