I have, in the past, experimented with exhaust systems for various vehicles and bikes. Most of the time it was to take someone elses ideas and make them work on my project. Has anyone tried this with a type IV?
I have 2 original type exhausts and even thought of modifying one of them for a deeper sound or better air flow. What have you done that I can learn from? (besides go out and buy a bursch) |

We are pretty lame when it comes to custom exhaust work. I spent two years farting around with mufflers and the such (the company who made all the stainless heat exchangers for the 914's) and we had a muffler that had access panels built into it. We had baffle plates (4 of them) in the muffler. Each plate had 100 or so threaded holes. We would add or remove little allen bolts to those holes to produce the back pressure and sound that we wanted. It was a painstaking task... but it worked. Once we found the proper combo we would stamp out new baffle plates with the number of holes we had left over after installing X number of screws.
