wideopenallthetime Posted September 10, 2014 Share Posted September 10, 2014 So I plan on buying a full exhaust kit soon but in the mean time I was thinking about doing some mods to the stock setup to see what if any more sound can be had. I found a forum where a fella cut the small diameter tip off and replaced it with a larger one for a "perfect" sound increase he claimed. But km thinking more along the lines of drilling several holes around the tip in the muffler and maybe even 3 larger holes on the bottom...I know I will lose a little torque around 6500 rpm from what I've learned but it's temporary and if I ruin the stock one oh darn I HAFT to buy exhaust haha and where I live loud bikes save lives...I don't care if my neighbors don't like it lol so what are your thoughts fellow riders ?

MarylandFZ07 Posted September 10, 2014 Share Posted September 10, 2014 Interested to see if anyone who bought an aftermarket exhaust has tried it with thier old exhaust. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

NICKY NEON Posted September 10, 2014 Share Posted September 10, 2014 don't drill a hole in the bottom you need back pressure. try doing something with the tail pipe. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

aeisan Posted September 10, 2014 Share Posted September 10, 2014 ...you need back pressure. Said no engineer, ever. No good exhaust system promotes back pressure. In fact, an ideal system has zero back pressure. It's all about exhaust velocity. Trust me... I stayed at a Holiday Inn Express once. Life is good on 2 wheels!

wideopenallthetime Posted September 10, 2014 Author Share Posted September 10, 2014 Well I went ahead and drilled 6 holes all together...no pics yet sorry but sounds way better and didn't lose any noticeable torque. Used a pilot bit then reamed them out to 3/8... I put two around the tail pipe just above where it's welded to the muffler and then one to the left and down about 3in. Then I put 3 in the tail pipe itself. Its way deeper and thumper sounding...not a permanent fix but works till I get my custom setup Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

In fact, an ideal system has zero back pressure. It's all about exhaust velocity. Trust me... I stayed at a Holiday Inn Express once. Actually without the ECU being re-flashed or a power commander etc, you need the back pressure. Running with no back pressure on a stock system when the computer isn't set up to run it will run the back very lean, causing loss of torque and a few other issues. A lot of the systems with straight pipes either have to be re-flashed or you have to change the jet size in the carbs, But I do agree straight pipes are better, with the proper tuning of course. Keep the rubber side down and the shiny side up. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
aeisan Posted September 10, 2014 Share Posted September 10, 2014 No, you are confusing back pressure with proper exit velocity. No system needs back pressure, ever. What it needs is the right amount of exit velocity and with too much flow area you lose velocity. When you add holes or remove the restrictive silencer, you are not removing the back pressure as much as you are creating a larger flow cross section, thus reducing velocity. It's a common misnomer, and though I understand what you are trying to say and your intentions are in a way correct, back pressure is not technically what is needed. Life is good on 2 wheels!

planetwister Posted September 11, 2014 Share Posted September 11, 2014 Wouldnt recomend any exhaust mods without getting your ECU re-flashed. even little holes in your exhaust will make it more lean Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
wideopenallthetime Posted September 11, 2014 Author Share Posted September 11, 2014 Bike was cold so I didn't wrap it out and it sounds way better in person... I know about the torque loss and I was nervous but I don't notice it at all I even think it made my throttle response quicker but maybe that's just cause I can hear it now lol Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

A 2 stroke needs back pressure to keep the incoming air fuel mixture from just going out the exhaust ports. You do or don't Then your dead.

Global Moderator Guru Posted September 11, 2014 Global Moderator Share Posted September 11, 2014 I can confirm. I started on a two stroke Yamaha FS1 and one of a popular mods was a so called high pressure exhaust (combined with some other things). It increased the back pressure and made a difference compared to stock. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rotaryryan24 Posted September 11, 2014 Share Posted September 11, 2014 I recently acquired a stock exhaust, my plan is to install a o2 bung and wideband gauge, run it stock just to see the stock AFRs. Then cut off the stock section just down stream of the collector, and try out some different style mufflers. With the aftermarket wideband I'll know just how lean it will be.

It increased the back pressure and made a difference compared to stock. Yeah the FMF silencer I have on my YZ has a ring welded into the end of the baffle to add back pressure. It adds a bit of power in doing so. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
aeisan Posted September 11, 2014 Share Posted September 11, 2014 I think at this point we are just arguing semantics and I'll just leave it alone. You guys have the right concepts, but it's just not true that back pressure is the reason for the better performance. I could go into sin waves and savaging and all the technical mumbo jumbo, but I won't haha. Hahaha ^^^ Life is good on 2 wheels! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

mikeyfz07 Posted October 15, 2014 Share Posted October 15, 2014 OP, How is the bike running to date? Can you show us a picture of what you exactly did and where? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mikeyfz07 Posted October 16, 2014 Share Posted October 16, 2014 After looking at the stock exhaust, I do not think its semi-wise to drill large 3/4th holes in the canister. Maybe the exhaust tail pipe but not the actual exhaust canister. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
