Auspanglish Posted November 7, 2008 Share Posted November 7, 2008 So, after filtering through all 6 pages of threads on exhaust mods, no dice... anyone know if I can just take a V.F.Long drill bit and do like the 6th gen owners do and drill through the inner pipe to gain a slight rise in the volume of sound emitted by the 5th gen silencer? I can't hear anything but the GDC whine... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Member Contributer Vee-Ef-Ar Posted November 7, 2008 Member Contributer Share Posted November 7, 2008 Only 6 pages? :goofy: I did have another idea, and that was to drill the six holes that are seen on the BB. Might confuse the heck outta some of em. And shead at least a pound. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Member Contributer FotoMoto Posted November 7, 2008 Member Contributer Share Posted November 7, 2008 I tried it on a rashed experimental 4gen can on my first 94. I ended up breaking the drill bit off in the can and couldn't retrieve it. With the can off the bike, I could make it rattle (ahh crap) but installed on the bike I never heard it (whew!). It was only slightly louder and a tad more deeper but no where near what you can achieve with the 6gen cans. I think the only way to gain more dB's is to cut off the end, perform a bafflectomy on the insides, and re-weld the endcap back on. I've seen a couple of bikes who did the first two but skipped welding the cap back on. They looked and sounded like poo. Like dawg, I used a long piece of bar stock that I sharpened to a point with a grinder and with a BFH punched approx. 3/4inch holes through the inside wall of my stock rc51 cans. Had the same results as my 4gen efforts (tad louder/deeper) but no broken drill bit this time. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Member Contributer CitizenOfDreams Posted November 8, 2008 Member Contributer Share Posted November 8, 2008 I drilled a 1/4 hole through a 5th gen muffler (installed on my 4th gen bike). I kinda like the result - a well defined V4 sound without the obnoxiousness of "performance" cans. But to each his own, you may not like it at all.

Member Contributer Vee-Ef-Ar Posted November 26, 2008 Member Contributer Share Posted November 26, 2008 Lopeman modded his back in 06... Link How'd you go Auspanol? I've given up looking for a 2nd can. Now, where's my drill... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
