Has anyone ever cut one of these apart or sectioned it and taken pictures? I've seen the flow diagram in the manual, and a picture here of one with the end removed but I'm curious about what's in the center of the muffler. Any info?? |

It's exactly like the picture in the manual on page 7-19, literally. There are also some pics on Buell's website. At least there were a year or two ago. |

Beastie, thanks for that link. It's as good a document I've ever seen to simply leave the exhaust alone. |

Thanks Beastie. That's a great link. It's a pretty powerful argument for leaving it alone. I'd like a little more "thump" out of it, but I don't want something as loud as a Drummer. Seems likes it's either all or nothing. |

I'd just like the stock muffler to be made of STAINLESS STEEL like the headers, instead of the mild steel it is made from. I have over 100,000 miles on the original muffler of my K1200LT and it still looks new. There's already rust showing on the muffler of my Buell... That was the reason I switched to the Buell/Supertrapp muffler on my Cyclone... that muffler was also getting all rusty. I was able to tune the SuperTrapp to produce the same back pressure and power characteristics of the stock muffler and it was only a little bit louder. I don't see that option for the XB12Ss; especially since the stock muffler is ALSO a jack point for the bike. I looked through the exhaust comparo at American Sportbike and didn't see anything that appealed to me. |

"I looked through the exhaust comparo at American Sportbike and didn't see anything that appealed to me". All you exhaust makers listening?? How about a stainless exhaust that retains the interactive valve and has a deeper all around (but not obnoxious) sound? |

If you skip the stainless, doesn't Odie sell that combination? |

But if it's not stainless, it's just going to rust out again (or is it aluminum? I'm not familiar with the system you're talking about). |

I'd live without stainless, but but I just don't want ear bleedin' loud. Based on what I've read, Odie's is LOUD. Or am I wrong? It sucks not to be able to actually hear any of these in person. |
