I've started getting parts for an exhaust system to replace the old welded special ones. The headers are about as far as I could get before running into uncertainty where to go next. The headers are the ones with bend on the lower section. The odd thing is, when i'm shopping around for mufflers they quote either 45, 42, 38, or 35 mm and mine seem to be right in the middle at 40 mm. the muffler i'm currently considering is the taper tip from xs650direct which quotes a fit on the 45mm or 38mm headers. My concern is that i'll buy something and have to hack at it to make it to half-a**ed fit. i'll head home and take more measurements but wanted to see what input this group has.
Aside from that, I'm considering a custom setup with straight pipes and the homemade baffles as well.
What do you guys think? Thanks for your input.
