Greetings everyone. I recently got a 1999 DI and have been lurking on the Dweb. Today we took it out for the first time wheeling and I crunched the muffler pipe ahead of the 2nd muffler and by the tip. Why do they have two of them? Can I remove the rear one? Should I change out anything else under there?
Thanks,
Jim |

a lot of us just removed the rear resonator and replaced it with a "straight" pipe. tucked up there.

No "excessive" noise increase? I like the idea already.
Love the pic by the way. Do you have a closer one? BTW... I am looking for specs of rigs that you are all running. What is the recipe for the HOmobile? |

the cheap way to do it is very easy and cost under 6.50 in parts...get the Napa 2.5 inch inner diameter pipe that is 18 inches long, and a 2.5 exhaust clamp. Hacksaw off the resonator just on the far side of it(after the exhaust hanger) clamp on the new pipe , and your good to go.
Can email a pic of mine tommorow if needed. |

noise ain't so bad.
idle and coasting noise is about same.
full throttle is a bit louder.
i just went to the corner muffler shop, gave the guy 10 bucks, and he welded the piece there for me. 2 minutes.  |

I bent my exhaust on the trail too. So much that the engine died on me. Got out, took my hack saw out and solved the problem. If I snag that bugger now, I'll have plenty of other things to worry about.
I cut the exhaust between the axel and gas tank. Nothing better than a free mod.
