Well, yes and no. There's another style of exhaust for this bike that has the baffle tack-welded in a few locations. If you drill out those welds, the baffle can slip out and the only damage will be those small holes. This Virago has the more difficult exhaust that needs the baffles cut out. I friggin wish it was easier! Lol 😁
@@NicePantsLance Yeah, makes sense. I've got the same pipes as you, but a bunch of holes drilled into the baffle, not sure if that's the norm? Or if someone's gone custom way to free up xhaust airflow. Nevertheless, cheers, i'll give it a go.
Did you use the right size holesaw to completely free the baffle from the outside of the pipe? Maybe you need cut further in, or maybe get a better fitting holesaw
Is this modification a "hell yeah" or a "hell no"
Tell me what you think in the comments!
Hell yea! Sounds great. Not crazy loud but not quiet. Perfect.
I thought so too 🤘 thanks for watching!
Definitely yes!!
Hey man! Did you need to rejet/ adjust air intake screws after this?
Cheers
Interesting, is there a less violent way to do that, Or lets say.. more subtle. I Should definitely do that as well.
