I ask this question periodically because someone e-mailed me a long time ago with vague information, and I have never been able to confirm the story.

Anyway - Still curious if anyone has modified a stock 12 pipe to work on a 9. The idea being that you can get better performance than a stock 9 pipe running the Race ECM, while keeping it quiet.

Thanks!

Same inlet diameter differant outlet diameter. The 12 muffler on a 9 will not give as much back pressure, and the engine does not run as good as it can.

Just my exoerience with this situation though.

Not to mention the valve that would need to be rigged open somehow.

I went loud, I came back.

My ears and brain can't take it...

Hey Bishop, are you saying you ran a 12 muffler on a 9? Was it with the stock ECM or Race ECM?

My bike currently has the stock pipe with the Race ECM and it runs fine, with a hair of bog off idle if you whack the throttle, otherwise no issues. I just want a pipe that flows more to take advantage of the Race ECM, but remains stealthy and quiet. I have enough power just want to see if I can make the Race ECM work a little better.

The valve can be rigged open, or I think you can program it to open with ECMSpy.
