OEM exhaust question

Hi guys,

I ride a 04 ST1300 and have been thinking about putting a different exhaust on my bike. I considered using a pair of RC51 cans, now I am also thinking about the stock VTR cans

Could someone tell me the length and diameter of the VTR's OEM cans ? Also if possible the diameter of the exhaust in pipe.

Thanks in advance !

Henrik

The cans come attached to pipes. Did you plan on cutting off the pipes and just using the cans?

Well ..

My plan is to keep the middle pipe coming off the end of the muffler as long as I can then weld or attach a bend to it that will go into my headers under the ST.


I also read it here that the stock VTR pipes can be de-baffled to make them sound better if necessary. The ST has the cat. converters built into the mufflers and it is practically silent and I'd love to hear more of that sweet V4 rumble.

Highly recommend doing a Baffelectomy. It'll finally sound like it rides. second only to a nice set of slip-ons.
