Rich Rohrich said:Once you weld the muffler to the head pipe how exactly do you plan to get the pipe off the bike for maintenance? They build them in two pieces for a good reason.
D!rtbag said:Then again, i may get more power gains from the better/more expensive muffler.
FruDaddy said:The muffler won't have as much impact on the torque curve than the headpipe would.
As you have already said, it is a TTR230 :nod:.Rich Rohrich said:On a TTR230 changing the head pipe will have next to no influence on making additional power. All you will accomplish is shifting the existing power to a new location, nothing more. There is additional power (and noise) in an aftermarket muffler, but the difference is small and probably not worth the high prices that most pipe guys are charging. The exception would be the Thunder Alley muffler that uses a true 8 degree megaphone with a proper 32 degree reverse cone.
Unless the stock headpipe is damaged it's hard to justify the cost of changing it.

I am not trying to argue with you (this time), but wouldn't the shift of power to the higher RPM range be more noticeable than the miniscule improvement of an aftermarket muffler?

Noise bothers everyone else! Many people on this site have been promoting quieter exhaust for some time now and I strongly advise against louder exhaust. Too many riding areas are closed each year because of noise. Please consider a bike with more power before taking a bike with little power and making it obnoxious.D!rtbag said:Noise doesnt bother me. Hell, i want my bike to sound like a 4th of july display.lol. But really,i dont have to worry about neighbors since i ride in a secluded area its about a nice mile away from houses and surrounded by trees. i ride up in the coalbanks.I gotta see a good site to do all the modding to my bike without breaking it.
