Exchange the exhaust process on your motorcycle yourself and save resources.
One of the most evident superficial engine parts on a motorcycle is its exhaust system; the exhaust pipes are typically chromed or coated in some other shiny, eye-catching compound. Replacing a motorcycle's exhaust system is one of the easiest ways to not only dress-up the bike and give it a custom look, but also to improve its engine note and overall performance.2. Test-fit the exhaust manifold and exhaust pipes to ensure that they line up properly. Install new exhaust gaskets, following the instructions in your shop manual. Install the new manifold by reversing the steps used to remove the old one.
Loosen and remove manifold bolts and any other bolts connecting the exhaust system to the motorcycle, following the instructions in your shop manual. Remove and dispose of old exhaust gaskets. Set the old exhaust system aside for disassembly and disposal.
Whether choosing a pair of slip-on mufflers for a sport bike or a full-on, double-chromed open muffler exhaust for a cruiser, a good custom exhaust can make your bike stand out in a crowd.
Instructions
