Speaking of being in the middle of the install, I started it with one side stock and cherry bomb on the other. Pretty impressive comparison.
I did the same thing. Once I heard the difference there was no going back. |

| I like this mod and great video. I just got the mufflers and here are the tips that I am using they are Dynomax tips with logo and are 12" long so it will extend out the back about 3" more and cost $89.64 total just for the tips, but include the ss clamps. So now I will have S1/L1 mufflers for sale.

Georgia, west of Atlanta | Hate to say it, especially since I spent like $500.00 on the CFR's, but it would be funny as hell if they made good HP numbers too. Piss off Victory and alot of pipe makers also............ |

Jacksonville, Florida | Someone asked me offline about any popping when shifting. Now that I have some miles with this mod I can say that there is very little popping. Usually if it happens at all, it is when cold and I blip the throttle too much while shifting. But again, any pops are few and far between.
A detail I may not have mentioned before, is that I left a 2-1/4 to 2" reducer in the open end of the muffler. I had a 1-3/4 but I didn't like it. The 2" works best right now. Just thought you'd want to know.

I didn't take pictures in-process but the order is:
Remove Lower Plastic Panels from both sides.
Remove Stock Exhaust pipes by loosening main clamp, and 6 mounting bolts (3 per side)
Once the stock exhaust is off you have to cut the straps that hold on the heat shields so you can reuse them with new pipe/hose clamps. I used 4", you will need 6 of them.
Mount the Thrush Mufflers using stock Header to Muffler Clamps.
Secure tail end of muffler with Pipe strap, or new muffler straps to the old locations. You will need new 8 or 10mm bolts as the originals are welded to the old pipes.
Once you have the pipes secured and clamped down tight, Install the Tips (whichever one's you decide to go with).
Install the stock heat shields over the new pipes using 6 Pipe Clamps (4")
That's pretty much it. Some of you that have done it might want to add steps I missed or a technique that you used that was different.
It took me about 4 hours. After your first ride, re-tighten the header to muffler clamp (while hot) to ensure there are no leaks. Make sure your tips are very tight, I actually safety wired mine to the frame so they wouldn't slide off with vibration over time.
Hope this helps.

| It would be really nice if KevinX would add his comments to this modification since some of us trust in his infinite wisdom on Vision motorcycles. Also it would be nice to know if this affects your warranty on your bike. |

Nalcrest, FL United States | I just removed my mufflers and repainted them in August due to rust from winter riding with salt on the roads around here. I love the sound! I'm going to do this mod over the winter. The tips you used look better than the stock ones and finish off the exhaust better. Thanks for posting it all. |

Chappellj, I like this mod and will most likely do it too. Is the 2-1/4 to 2" reducer for fitting purposes or to add a little restriction?
