Member Contributer mk2davis Posted January 7, 2013 Member Contributer Share Posted January 7, 2013 I know I've read some threads about drilling stock exhausts to make them a little louder. Adding a little growl to the "sewing machine". The problem is that I can't see the pics that accompany the threads , so I can't see where to drill, baby, drill. Can someone help me out?

NakedViffer Posted January 7, 2013 Share Posted January 7, 2013 Seems kinda Harley-esque to me, trying to be loud just to be loud. Its akin to teenagers putting big mufflers on their Civic IMHO.. Put yourself a nice pipe on there and let the snarl be a byproduct of a performance upgrade, thats how its supposed to be. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Put the extra effort in it and get a good looking pipe with some good sound. It'll give a lil extra power also. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Member Contributer YoshiHNS Posted January 7, 2013 Member Contributer Share Posted January 7, 2013 What exhaust do you have on there now? The stock cans are pretty quiet compared to any after-market, but even the after-markets aren't loud until you get up in the revs. Maybe just finding a different can would be the easier route, like a D&D.

The Phantom Posted January 7, 2013 Share Posted January 7, 2013 Try to get a carbon fibre high-mount pipe - the CF gives a nice mellow tone (and stays cool which is great for pillion confidence) and the high-mount shows off that awesome 8-spoke wheel you have If you can find one, get a 4th Gen header - you will need a muffler that matches it as the 3rd Gen is a slip-on and the 4th Gen is a flange-style fitment - because it weighs a hell of a lot less and has a more efficient design. And if you really want sound, look for a TBR (Two Brothers Racing) or Hindle full header system. It will sound like a pair of Ducati 750SS's with Imola cams then!

Member Contributer mk2davis Posted January 7, 2013 Author Member Contributer Share Posted January 7, 2013 Well sure, it would be great if someone gave me a slip on or full exhaust, but I don't see any voluteers and I don't have a lot extra cash. And as far as performance goes, it was my understanding that a slip on would be good for almost nothing. A TBR, assuming I could find one, would be $300 and change for maybe 1 hp? Yes, my stock can is very quite. If fact, my brother had a TBR slip on on his 92 was too loud. I'd like something in between. While I appreciate it, I wasn't really looking for approval, but more of a how-to. BTW, I think my title is misleading. I don't want to be loud, but it would be nice to hear it. The 91's are known to be extremely quite, in fact I have heard the 92 stock cans were made to be a little louder. Obliviously, I am not the first one to go this route, as there are other treads related to this, I just can't see the pics the threads are referencing. If any of you fine gentlemen have a 3rd gen slip on for sale, I'd certainly be interested. I looked in the classified section and didn't see anything.
