Welcome to the forum.There is not much for a direct bolt on.There are a lot of universal mufflers that will fit with a minimum amount of work.A good price range is about $40.00 to $80.00.

:cool:

Some suggestions on what exhaust to purchase would be great. I'm with Ram, my little ol' 250 is way to quiet!

Your only option is to go with a universal muffler and adapt it to your bike.

Im gonna cut the muffler off and probably just weld a staight regular ol pipe (galvanized) on the exaust pipes. Good or bad idea and what size are our pipe in diameter, i dont have a caliper ?

Rookie Rider · 09-26-2011, 02:46 PM

Sorry, its a 1- 3/8" pipe

That's going to be stupid loud and I'll wager that you won't like it once the initial "AWESOME!!!!" feeling wears off.
For consistent riding, you'll want something a little more timid.

Trust me.

Go with a straight shorty or something like that, but get something that at least has some baffles in it.

And, as always, be prepared for jetting. Your bike will be almost not rideable without a rejet.

I'll consider that, thank you.

FYI, and even though a lot of people do it, in most places in the US it is illegal to modify the exhaust of a motorcycle, ie., changing it from stock. Check out your state Motor Vehicle laws. And a super loud exhaust like you are contemplating will lead to a very expensive ticket and depending where you are, your bike may be confiscated or impounded. And you may slowly lose your hearing.
Do yourself a big favor and save yourself a lot of money, like I said before, and do your homework with research aside from on here. You may mess up your bike and not like it very much if you do, and then it can be a pain to sort it all out again, especially if you're trying to do it on the advice you are able to get over a forum and not have any knowledge of what's going on.
