Exhaust and muffler advice

[Torchard]

My bike came with a new set of Pandemonium Double D pipes but I want something much quieter. I don’t see many pipe/muffler options that essentially follow the original layout. Do I need to buy pieces and have it welded up? Or buy old stock pipes and paint the chrome? Something more or less bolt-on would be more helpful. Thanks.

I'm not sure what you're looking for, but these are high quality and not cheap. I expect you can buy them on your side of the border.

If you want pretty close to stock looking, about the best you can do is these headpipes .....

..... mated with these mufflers .....

The above Commando mufflers are currently about the nicest replacement mufflers out there. They look, sound, and perform great.

I should have asked what kind of bike we're talking about. Are we talking bobber, chopper, tracker, brat, cafe, or stock? Please post a picture. That will help.

Most guys looking for a close to stock look usually run the Commando 1.5" system from yamahaxs650.com

Nope. USA only. Err, yes, that's correct.

Yes. Fair enough. I think it’ll look out of place if too close to stock.

Right. I should have included a pic. I think a style that is too close to stock won’t look appropriate.

Oh, I forgot about that. Too bad because that's the only place I know of that has the good Commandos.

Correct.

Correct. They don’t.

Two into one & this muffler.

That's going to be a nice chopper!

Funny, I thought about a two-into-one option. And I’d be willing to spend more on a better muffler . Thanks.
