drilling exhaust Just wanting to know?. I had a 2001 gsxr1000 and a cheap mop was to drill the muffler. Has anyone tried this for some more power and exhaust note.

No we would just drill it with a 12inch drill bit. Look inside the muffler you can see plate, just a couple of hole there and it should reduce some back pressure and maybe make the exhaust a little louder work on the gsxrs

There was a thread a few days back that showed a cut out of the stock cans.
I think the most restrictive part are the cats as dubious alluded to

Hmmmmmmm, Curious...
But I love my Brock..
The Stock cans are so damn heavy
I was amazed at the increased handling once they were gone.

exactly. imho not worth drilling the cans cause of the weight. spend a little cash (area p's slipons are quite reasonable) and save a gob of weight as well.

Take them off to do it. I f there are any chips left in pipe could be bad news on a hard decel. Possible to suck backwards into cylinder??

I dont think there is any chance of metal shavings getting sucked back to the engine just start up the bike and a few wacks and everthing will be blown out but I might take them off

Want to know cheap and quick? Saw off the muffs with a band saw, that way you have the stock mid pipes. Put on a set of junk slipons you have laying around the shop. You have lost the weight and all it cost is a little time.....TB

i did it............ sorry i dont have any pics, but.... im a welder. i cut the left pipe off and welded a cap on the left flange and tightend it back on, then i cut the end of the canister (tacked on) and used a plasma cutter to cut the baffle plate out, then tacke it back on. then i cut the upper piece off and removed the "cat", and the mesh piece behind it.
i was getting some popping on decel, with a little bit of back fire. so i plan to plug the hose, in the future for full system application. so far so good. it sounds nice, not so abnoxiously loud, w/ nice power. no map or TRE yet. Please reply w/ pros or cons.
