Cheap Glasspacks

I was searching around for cheap project mufflers and ran across this site.

What would that be for? Like attaching to your Collector box to attach a straight pipe or something?

 

Well...they're cheap glasspack mufflers. You stick them on the end of the header pipe your using. I have 2 into 1 on each side some say: 4 into 2 . I don't have a collector box.

 

That's a good alternativ.

 

I thought so. Get the fit and weld on a mount tab then barBQ black em. Saw off the end tube of course.

 

Those are 2" on each end, so your going to have to use a reducer inside them to attach them to the header pipes or collector box. OR you and add a 1-3/4" to 2" reducer first to attach them to.
Anything is possible!

i was liking the tractor muffler idea, they can be had rather cheap and would probably be quieter and have smaller ins/outs
on the other hand i saw inserts for glass packs to take some of the bark out of them

 

Well PainterD I happen to have 2" OD collector pipes.

 

I think that these are raw cherrybombs ie: seamless which is a +

 

OK then Seaguy, your in business then. Go for it and let us know how they sound.

now that you know what the look like, you can make one
don't even look at his prices

 

I still think I'm going to try de-chroming route first. The mufflers I have still have good metal just peeling chrome and some "surface rust" as they say on Ebay. I already have the muratic so all I need is the baking soda to neutralize with. I will report on my Mr Wizard project when done.

 

A spiral baffle? Looks like an auger with part of the flights cut out. Interesting. Looks like another project for out in the shop. I have some gutted mufflers here somewhere. Now to get an auger to experiment with. A trip to the local grain elevator should keep me busy for awhile. Thanks for posting that Polock!

 

check out my pictures, I have a 4 into 1 header with a 3"magnaflow muffler "or Cherry boom" muffler, I cut it in half and re welded the inside back inside of the casing, my bike is a 650 bore out, cams, stage 3 jets, and all kinds of goodies and you can hear me for miles upon miles away, and it has the deepest evil tone, I promise you will not be disappointed, I've had this set up for about 2 years now, and I've been told that at cruzin speed say 65, I can be heard up to 5 miles away, and when I'm on it 150+, I can be heard over at the next town about 13+ miles away, and everyone says its an evil sound, when I first build the muffler I built them for a figure 8 car with a 383 and it sound so good, so I put one on the bike and like I said you will not be disappointed!!!!!!!


***LOUD SAVES LIFES***
And yes I do get pulled over quit frequently lol!!!!!!!!!!

 

I can't believe this guy got a patent on the "Archimedes screw" , a 2,500 year old invention.

Hey 82Maxim, you're a contender for fastest XJ at 150+

 

congratulations

 

Anyone having trouble falling asleep can read this extensive report done on muffler research- -

These are all "no back pressure" designs.

 

What ever happened to using Harley mufflers?

http://cgi.ebay.com/ebaymotors/HARLEY-S ... ccessories

 

Those are the same ones I have on mine. I really like the sound of them too. The quality can't be beat and they slipped right on with no problem. I suspect they are similar to the stock muffler sound, maybe a little bit deeper tone (mine had 4-into-1 system on when I got it)

 

Man, I hope the owner got that seat fixed, cuz that bike is a beauty...could you imagine a black seat with orange piping??? Hella nice.

 

Yeah, I wish the owner would get off of his azz and fix the seat so I don't have to ride that ugly thing to work everyday (during the "warm" season)...

I'm hoping to get it fixed this year, lol. It is definately an eye sore.

The Harley mufflers are very well built, they'll probably outlive the bike IMHO. They are also quite heavy. I junked the rotted out stockers and welded these in their place. I even reattached the mounting provisions and kick-stand bumpers so everything works like factory. I really like the sound too. These mufflers came off a 1200 CC bike so the sound is probably a bit louder than stock, but I've yet to hear a stock XJ650 in a while. I too really like the way that they sound; aggressive, yet not obnoxious.

 

Like me some orange :wink: ...

Yes, a black seat with ogange piping would really complete the package.

 

Yes, great color choice. (Can't imagine why!)lol.

 

Now that we are off topic...

Too bad I don't know what color it is... I purchased the tins, forks, and ignition off of a guy on craigslist and this is what he dropped off 8O

I'll definately keep the orange piping in mind though, although I'll probably be doing my own seat work. :?

 

pvtschultz, any chance you are still around? if so how did you mount those Harley mufflers? I'm looking into doing the very same thing.

 

Tom, do you already have the mufflers or are you looking for some? I have a pair or two of near new Harley mufflers---

SC me, and give me an email address or phone# and I'll dig the out and take a couple pics---

 

Tom, I just pulled the out--- they're for the big bikes, sorry. They are part #

oh ok thanks anyway those look a bit bigger than what I was looking for

 

Hey..... since we're completely off subject, you guys want a set a bracket to mount big ammo boxes on your bike?
i had the low slung harley mufflers mounted on my seca but now i'm mounting stock maxim exhaust and have to build new brackets.
Send my a pm if intrested.
