I drilled just four 1/2" holes in the aft baffle but I did remove the cone. I love the sound. Did have to disable the AIS though. Will remove it someday. While I am very happy with the sound from this stage one mod. can anyone put into words how different the exhaust sound will be if I go all the way to the stage three mod ?   Logged     New England rider since 1972,7th bike, EMT.   The administrator has disabled public write access. #3126 TMK (User) Sometimes Wrong But Never In Doubt Platinum Boarder Posts: 1013 Re:Stage One completed WOW 6 Years, 8 Months ago   Dave-- Great job...I think I am going to give it a try doing the job your way...really appreciate the pictures, puts it in perspective for me I am not a terribly handy guy but I think I can handle this Thanks!!!

Been thinking of doing the Stage 1 for a while but was worried about the look. Your pics convinced me it looks good. Now to push me over the edge, how loud is it? I like my bikes quiet on the highway, love it when they get louder upon accelleration. The stocks are just a bit to quiet, to tame, just looking to kick it up a notch without waking the neighbors(unless I want to !!   Logged       The administrator has disabled public write access. #3129 davehrn (User) Senior Boarder Posts: 262 Re:Stage One completed WOW 6 Years, 8 Months ago   not real loud. My last bike was a 750 virago with jardine drag pipes on it.. very loud. the stage 1 seems to add volume at the low end, I barely notice when on the highway. the stocks were VERY quiet... so I'd say it doubled the noise, but really hard to explain... ~D   Logged     Flash & His Bike...

I have the vance and hines and they are too loud for me. I thought about different baffles. I still have the stock pipes. So do i drill the original ones for the right sound? Then what else do I do?   Logged     The administrator has disabled public write access. #3131 DocShadow (Admin) Hmmmm .... send beer Admin Posts: 17615 Re:Stage One completed WOW 6 Years, 8 Months ago   Gdaddy, The article on modifying the stock pipes is here .... http://roadstarclinic.com/content/view/50/105/ Doc   Logged     My Bike Website   The administrator has disabled public write access. #3143 thebru (User) Gold Boarder Posts: 947 Re:Stage One completed WOW 6 Years, 8 Months ago   Well you guys pushed me into it! Did the Stage 1 Mod tonight. Only took about an hour, I still have the fine finish work(a little grinding, paint..). The sound is perfect!!! A beautiful low rumble, sounds big and powerful which is about right. I've owned big bikes with Double D's and V&H Longshots and didn't like either, way to loud at any throttle, and neither had enough bottom end. This may be perfect, and it only cost me a Dremel, which I will use often. Thanks to all you for the great info and pics...   Logged       The administrator has disabled public write access. #3183 Chuck (User) Fresh Boarder Posts: 1 Re:Stage One completed WOW 6 Years, 8 Months ago   Hello All, Just joined the site. I had read the posts about the Stage 1 mod. I liked what Dave did on his bike and did the same to mine, 05 RoadStar Silverado, and like the deep rumble. Doubt I will go to Stage 3. May put DG Hard Kromes on next year. Dave, thanks for the pics and info. Really made things easier. Got a question......a friend of mime has a VStar 650. He wants to do the same to his. Anyone know if the same mod can be done on a 650? Chuck   Logged     The administrator has disabled public write access.
