STOCK EXHAUST MODIFICATIONS
- Thread starter cushman1
- Start date
There have been several folks who have taken the stock muffler apart and shortened it significantly. All the reports I've seen have indicated that it didn't change the sound at all, but made it look a lot better. I think they cut about 6 inches or more off it. There were several threads about this on the old board back in 2008/09 before it "crashed". Haven't seen any recently. I believe they were taking it apart and cutting out the flame arrestor and removing a section from the front of the muffler and then TIG welding it back together.
There was a recent thread about a Delkevic (sp?) slip-on that was reasonably priced and got favorable feedback.
I'm not a fan of the stock exhaust as far as looks or sound goes. But you know what they say.........it's hard to shine a turd. If I had plenty of expendable cash I would replace it. As it sits(stock), the bike performsjust fine..........and I guess I'm OK with that.

I took some bad advice from ST-Owners and drilled out the mufflers on my ST1300!!!
Worst sound ever
like a scooter with a hole in the muffler!! Had to ebay a used set of factory mufflers.
Leave it till you can afford what you want.
BTW I have also heard good things about Delvic.

Wow! that is some hearty work there...I 'll be sending you my muffler shortly here Dog!!!
If it does'nt change the sound it should be worth it..."quiet" is my friend...
between the bikes, jets, and guns, my ears have had all they can handle...I can't even hear myself think these days.

Thanks for reposting those photos. I believe several folks have successfully shortened the muffler by cutting it like that, and it does make it look a whole lot better. Reports I read indicated it didn't change the sound, just made it smaller so it didn't stick out the back end so far.
The weld under the rear cap has to be ground off so the muffler core can then be pulled out of the outer casing. The section that gets cut off is the flame arrestor section off the FRONT end of the muffler core, and then the same length has to be cut off the REAR section of the outer casing, being careful to match the original cut angle, and the muffler internal core is then slid back in the outer casing and it has to be TIG welded back together at the rear when you're done.

I replaced my stock exhaust with an Area P. No regrets. It's not too loud for all day riding, but when you get in it you KNOW you're in it! My question is, WHY IS THE STOCK CANNON SO DAMNED BIG? It looks like someone hacked a car exhaust on the side of the bike! I understand there regulations, but look at other 'big' bikes and their exhausts aren't so ugly! Heck, look at the new FJR. It's exhausts are big, but they at least made them look decent.

You know the really weird part. The ZX14 had a beautiful dual exhaust, where as they went with the single Howitzer look on the C14. Over the years you have heard little in the line of how folks liked the C14 exhaust, but you heard how they really didn't. We also have heard many times how the ZX14 exhaust looked good and folks installed them on their C14's. But rather than Kawasaki taking that nice look of the ZX14 for the C14. The went the other way and took the (IMO) less than aesthetically pleasing look of the C14 exhaust and gave the ZX14 that look. You really gotta wonder sometimes. ???

I have a full ZX-14 exhaust setup sitting in the corner of my garage. I was intending to put it on, but after I got it, I started doing some measurements, and the ZX-14 setup is significantly heavier, since it has two cans. I also noticed how long the ZX14 mufflers are. They are easily as long as the single can on the C14. So while it may look a bit nicer, it weighs almost twice as much, and if you remove the saddlebags, you'll now have two really long pipes sticking out instead of one. This is why it continues to sit in the corner of my garage unused.
I suspect they went with the single can on the ZX14 for the same reason, weight reduction.

That modified muffler is mine. I had the bike dyno'd after I did it and there was no difference in power output until after I removed the flies and installed the PC3. Here's a link to the original thread on another site. I still have the bike, now with 40,000 km on it.

Initially I thought "ehh, cutting 4" off that cannon wouldn't make that much difference". Boy was I wrong. That looks much better. I think Kawi should hire that guy to design their exhausts. I'd still rather see a symmetrical dual exhaust on nearly every bike, but shaving some off the Connie's launcher certainly does help aesthetically speaking.johnnyc14 said:

I asked for the 18" pipe, but they come in different lengths which I'm guessing affects the sound. The length of the header ultimately affects performance, so I'm hoping it sounds beefier when I twist the throttle but still quiet for highway rides... I sent the wife the link for the stainless model...don't know if the Carbon fibre affects the sound differently, but I rarely take the bags off so it's pretty hidden anyway.

Well we're kind of
fftopic:But anyway, I bought my Morgan Carbtune from the UK. I had no problem with it being shipped over. They even posted a warning that it may take a little time with the customs laws. Yet it came in a matter of days rather than the possible weeks I had planed on.
So I would also probably be cautious and steer away from eBay stuff and such from the UK or similar becuase of the logistics and possible problems. But I have ordered a couple of times from established and reputable companies without any problems. And would do such again if the need or opportunity arises. But an eBay item from outside the country, would probably be a different story. Too many horror stories out there for me. :-\
But I would buy from eBay inside the US on a case by case basis. I actually have bought many items form eBay over the years. And to be honest, I do not think I have had any problems. Although I tend to stay towards new items. I probably do not buy too many used items that way. I buy way more used motorcycle associated items through this site first. But even then you take your chances since you may not know the individual your dealing with. But I feel more comfortable with the folks on this site over outside sources for used parts.
I have not had any problems with a purchase from EBay and Delkevic is a Colorado USA company from their website. Just look at their rating and deal only with people that are at 98% satisfaction or better. Every time I have bought a product from EBay they ask me how it turned out and I get rated as a buyer as well IE were they paid on time etc.. That way when I order things they know I will not try to get over on them as well!

Man, I'm like such a little kid around Christmas... :rotflmao: ...last night we were up in Disney for Mickey's Christmas Party (we go every year - really nice) and the entire night I'm walking around thinking about installing the new pipe on Christmas morning...my wife asked me like 5 times "what's wrong?"...I guess I was just thinking about the pipe and how I can get out for a ride on Christmas!!! LOL!
I'll figure something out... and get a vid on YouTube for everyone on Christmas... and I'll have it installed for the Central FL event on the 29th (as long as it's not crappy).
Hope to see a bunch of you there!
PS. It finally got COLD down here! Last night it was in the low 40's in Orlando. I live about 150 miles South in Palm Beach...and it was upper 40's. Today, not a cloud in the sky, nice breeze, upper 60's. Couldn't ask for better weather. But there's way too many crazy Christmas shoppers doing everything but paying attention to the road :truce:, so my wife asked me (nicely) not to ride today....OK, I won't...just to keep her from worrying. But tomorrow, I'll be riding on A1A looking at the ocean before she wakes up! :nananana:

I replaced mine with a custom built unit and saved almost 16 lbs. The sound isn't offensive and it looks much better. Another problem with retaining the stock unit is how restrictive the headpipe is. Shine a flaslight up the inlet and you'll see that it's only about 1 1/2" diameter with lots of restriction.

the problem with removing those "restricting" pipes is that you loose low end torque with a more open system...or put out the bucks for PC, mapping, dyno and whatever else is needed to compensate for changing the air/fuel ratio...then the challenge is to find someone who knows what they are doing in that realm...too much hassle just because the muffler aint cute...
I do like the option of cutting the stock down a bit

yes, there are a couple small welds around the perimeter of the rear that get ground off, then the central section is pulled out, and trimmed.
the hardest part is keeping the angular profile on the end of the outer can, trimming with a cutoff tool. this is accomplished using tape, and a compas or pair of dividers with a scribe, and following the end countour at a constat dimension further forward.
the whole job only takes about an hour or so, 2 hours with beer breaks and final touch up paint. :beerchug: :great:

I got a machinist to help do the the muffler cutting mod per instructions in this thread.
Questions: Is this going to alter the air/fuel mixture like if I installed an aftermarket muffler? You folks who have done this mod, did install PC afterwards?
Now that your muffler is shorten, do you notice more heat under the saddlebag...crud from the exhaust?
Can you give me an idea of the increase in noise?...maybe even a sound bit!
...preciate your commets.... :great:

Man in Blues,
You cut 6" off your muffler, but another guy cut 4"....or did I misread that? I am passing the job to a machinist I know. I need to tell him which 4 or 6...and I don't really understand clearly if the cut was made in the front or the back of the muffler
Then, am I expecting that the muffler bolt (to the frame) will still line up in the same place right?
I am going to take the pics and the write up on that other post to the machinist but I sure would like to be more clear on what I am asking him to do...not just show him a pic of a stock muffle and a shorter muffler...which is about all I understand!...

Man O Blues, thanks. Must have looked at the pics 50 times, but there was no explanation on how to remove the inner baffle. My bike is in the shop for a valve cover leak repair right now, so can't wait to get it back and do this. The only mod I've done to the exhaust is to paint the end pieces black. Should look really good shortened and black. That will have to do til I get a CS 1. Another question re: this mod...in the first pic, there is a cutout at the front of the muffler...what is that about?

ZERO popping. And it's still quiet. Actually, it's a single easy bolt to remove the baffle. Going to try it this AM.
Went for a ride on the highway yesterday, and I couldn't really hear it...not that I want an overpowering sound because I do like to listen to music in my helmet, but if I can go louder without disturbing the tunes, it just adds to my "visibility" to the zombies...I'll post another vid later after I get into the garage.

Concours 14 with Delkevic pipe no baffle
So I just got to work...no popping on deceleration at all. VERY happy without the baffle. Now I hear the pipe - not loud, no problem with my music, and at 60mph, I hear wind and no pipe. PURRRRRRfect!
The baffle came out in under 1 minute, too.
I would recommend this pipe. I might even venture to say that I have a little more mid-range torque? Hard to tell, but maybe. I didn't wind it out past 7k....yet!

but the torpedo is coming off, one way or another
I finally decided to buy a Delkevic since they are now making them for the C14. The price and sound seems right. The stock exhaust has worked fine for me but knowing the reputation of the Delkevic on the ST1300 forums made it an easy choice. I will post my opinion next week when it arrives. I thought I would eventually get a Leo Vince as they are great looking pipes, but 600.00 for a slip on is a lot of dough.

Guys - I posted (thought it was this thread, but I guess not) video of my new 18" Delkevic pipe, ran it with and without the baffle. I LOVE IT. Save your money and buy this pipe. I have no idea why the competitiors cost twice as much... The folks at the event today heard it, and I think everyone really liked it.
It cannot be heard on the highway, unless you punch it...but now my bike sounds like a healthy bike and not a sewing machine.
Search for "Delkevic" and I'm sure you can find my posts...
Don't waste your time modifying that 50 pound potato launcher... Just my $0.02...

No issues with heat. The pipe is about 2 inches below the bag. Also nothing from the header without the heat shield...no difference to me.

Today, I made the move, and did the shortening mod to the old bazooka muffler. The most difficult (tedious) part of the job was grinding the weld down, in order to remove the baffle. Had a neighbor weld up the baffle after the whole mod. Time involved...maybe 2 hours max. I was even able to remove some of the fiber around the baffle, to give it a little sound. I did the whole mod without removing anything from the bike, and it cost me a beer (for my neighbors welding expertise). Nando, in regards to your question about the front muffler cap...I just painted both my end caps black, gives that ugly old muffler a little more of an aggressive look. This will suffice til I get a new slipon.
Seems They are going through EBAY, they have several types available....

I cut my exhaust can and drilled LARGE holes in the plate inside it to let it breath better and it did change the sound. I like a little more noise but for the price?? But for the price ( $200 delivered ) I would consider the Delkevic. Just saw one installed on a C-14 the other week at the LAST BLAST here is Florida and it looked good but was not as throaty as the Two Brothers that was was parked next to it when they both rev-ed them up. On the other hand the cost is $200+ difference between the two, Delkevic gets my money. :motonoises:

TJ,
I got more questions for ya: Does the Delkevic comes with a heat shield (that piece of chrome cover over the pipe going into the headers) or does one have to screw the stock in there?
I tried calling the web page and there are a gonner...but the eBay had a good phone and I left a message...
Can you tell me more about the sound in comparason with the stock...is the version with the baffle AS quiet AS the stock or is it louder?
You notice anything different on your torque with the Delk slipon? lose any low torque/gain torque at high end?
I am getting psyched to dump the Potato launcher (as ZG calls it) Bazooka air spitter, tonage loading sucker off my bike...
Between stock seats and muffler, I just don't understand OEM designs on most bike...its another conspiracy...engineers take money under the table to keep aftermarketeers in business...
nando,
I removed the heat shield from the 2010 exhaust I was using. It is just bolted on. I then went to Lowes and bought the necessary hardware to secure it. (hose clamps, allen bolts, flat washers, and threaded clamps) I can give you the part numbers if you go that route, not hard at all to do.
I never ran it on the street with the baffle, after starting with it in I immediately shut it off and removed the baffle. Sounded way to close to stock for me at idle. After riding Harley's for years I now appreciate a quiet bike. With that said I wanted to set it apart from stock, so I am running it w/o the baffle and to me it is slightly louder than stock but not loud by any means imo.
I did not notice any torque differential, but did not get a lot of ride time. It certainly did not feel like any loss, if anything it felt faster but that may have just been me twisting the wrist to hear the muffler.
Overall I would honestly give it a 10 for what I was after. Economical muffler with great sound and looks. The welds look pretty good to me. The only knock I would give is that there are no instructions, and they did not provide a bolt/nut to secure the muffler to the drop clamp which bolts with the original hanger bolt. Also the hole for the center stand bump stop was too small, I drilled it out to make it easier to fit the rubber stop in. These are minor issues, as I understand some other mufflers have to be tweaked as well.

No rejetting or remapping is required after fitment however we always recommend a dyno test after fitting replacement parts to your motorcycle.
The sound of this set up is slightly louder than stock, with a very nice, deep, throaty, smooth sound. Give it a bit of a growl.

5.8 lbs????? That talked me into it!!!
Shootes, I had to rent a fork lift every time I remove/install the 90mm surface-to-air exhaust on this bike...what in the world do they have in there, a piece of Jupiter...I wonder?
I might just get the same you got TJ instead of the Carbon Fiber...it 'll look like $heettses after I own it for a couple of months...between my driving in the rain and my adversity to shining things...but it will be cheap enough, and by God it sounds worth it!!

Call and ask for Luke Padilla at 1-800-381-3065 (company #) to place your order from the information posted on their EBAY sight. He mentioned he would take PAY-PAL for payment in his email to me.
