Default BAFFLES OR KNOCK EM OUT???

I was thinking of changin the exhaust on my 06 250 and it seems more affordable to just knock out the baffles.......but i dont want it to sound more like a lawnmower, but i do want a more deeper sound. I'll have to jet it out either way but i like the dual exuast and no one offers anything but a 2-1 (like muzzey) does neone know what it will sound like?? thanks.

Hello . There was company that made nice slip ons for the 250 and 500 caled F1's two cans bright alum finish . I had them on my EX 500 ten years ago and they sounded very nice IMO . about $200 at the time for both of them together .

Go see my How to thread on building a 2 into 1 exaust for the 250 and 500 and it shows you how to remove the baffle out of a stock can . My wife loves the way her 500 sounds but all twins have that lawn mower sound with open cans IMO but she is happy so I am too .

Here are a few pics for you but you will find the instructions in the how to forum .

The stock exhaust does look good on those....

C10..... To change the sound, without having to run an open can, can you just cut the baffles down a little at a time, and reinstall them? Until you get the sound desired? Or after the baffles are out, are they able to go back in?

Once they are out the way I show you would have to weld them back in . I actuly plan on cutting the can completly open and building my own baffle that flows better than stock . I just havent had the time yet .

Yeah i really like the stock exhaust too. Thanks for the directions, they will come in handy. One other question, did u jet yours out afterwards? I Know when u start mnessing with the exhaust u have to jet it out.

yes it can . but it would depend on the change , and how drastic it was to the increase in air flow . One I have not increased the air flow coming in . ( still OE air filter and air box un modified ) I also built my wifes two into one system and am now pushing
two cylinders worth of exaust gases through one exaust can . So in my case it dosent realy NEED a rejet till I increase air flow coming in the engine .

Ive been trying to find some slip ons for my 250 but i cant find any exhaust specifically for the 250 besides muzzey 2 to 1. I think the only slip ons i can find might be for the 500, will those fit my bike??

I don't think the 250R would sound very good without it's original exhaust. The engine is too small to make a good rumble. I would leave it alone.
