Standard exhaust modification

I dont ride tit like Occifer!!

Was once pulled up when I was just 18yrs old whilst playing out on the bikes with my mate (who I still ride with).
The copper asks my mate his name....
"Norton" says my mate..
The copper says to his fellow officer still sat in the car "Bill.. We have a Norton on a Suzuki"..
He then says to me "And who are you"?

"Speed " I replied (yes really)..
He said "Bill, we have a bloody idiot here"..

My surname used to get me off many times..

Reminds me of a time in a mate's car who was racing another mate through town & a cop stepped out in front of him when he was doing about 80 in a 30 zone.

Convo went something like

How fast were you going?
30
Bollocks, how fast really?
30
Ok then, how fast was your mate going?
Oh much faster than me, did you see how far in front he was?

Somehow he got away with it too

Hi
I like the look of standard cans but they are a bit too quiet for me.
So I started modifying my original exhaust.
Lots of information and help I found on http://www.gsx-1400-forum.de 

I bought spare exhausts because I did not want to drill my own, in case that something will go wrong.



I start by removing the rivets from the back plate.




Then I drill the can wall (I used a 44mm hole saw)




About 13cm deeper is the next wall.
Put a piece of rod and bend the exhaust inset there and back, up and down until the weld breaks.
(this work lasts forever)




Remove can inset.




I'm going to use a 45mm stainless steel tube to make a new muffler tip.



I have cut tube (40mm) and perforated tube (80mm) and weld together.




Ready tube weld into can.




I have enlarged the back plate hole to fit the 45mm tube. Three rivets and back plate come back to the place.





Finished 

Hi Jacog

Great write up & pictures, I am considering having a go at doing this to the standard cans that were on my bike when I bought it as they look to have been tampered with anyway, could you let me know what you used to open out the end plates please, did you use the same 44mm hole saw?

Thanks

Pete...

Hi Pete
I used grinder/ dremel  to open out the end plates.
Cheers

I remember the end plates were very hard stainless steel which the hole saw didnt even scratch!
I ended up taking them to work and drilling out loads of small holes to form the circular cut out..
I laso finished to hole with a Dremel.
