Muffler modders, quick ?
For those that have had their mufflers apart, does it look like the entire muffler can be easily gutted leaving only the canister? I have an idea for a different mod, and all I need is the canister and the pipes themselves. If not, is there anyone out there w/some metal working tools that could fab a matching size canister for not too much $$$?

I think you'd be much better off making a new cannister. It looks like it would be a trick to cut all of those baffles out of the cannister. If I can remember correctly, there are at least 3 baffles that you have to drill through and I'm not sure what kind of cutter you'd use to cut them out. If you can find a cannister of the right dimensions, it doesn't seem like it will be that hard to weld a plate on the back end for the exhaust pipe to weld to, and the flanges to connect to the ATV.

The only way I can think of cutting the 4 baffles inside would be burning them out with a stick welder w/ long sticks. I don't even know if it could be done...never done it. Have heard of people burning/melting/cutting metal with a welder, it would be the only way of reacing the 10-12" inside the cannister.
I just installed my pipe back on. I took it off, sanded it down to bare metal (got that rust crap off), cut the end cap off, drilled eight 1/2" holes through the 4 baffles and had it welded back on. It sounds awesome (just right, has the growl the HMF has but quieter, sounds mean in mid-range). With 128/132 dynojet mains it ran good, backfired slightly when letting off the throttle. I changed the mains to 132/136 and there's a noticable get up and go. Definately worth doing...

That's what I was afraid of. I cored the mufflers on my ducati last year and like the sound and performance increase I got. The duc's muffler baffels are all press fit, so once the ends are off you can force all the internals out. A major pain, but well worth it. I was hoping the kawi's were the same, but if they're welded I guess I'll have to look in another direction. I guess I could do they Nyroc route until I find a suitable casing to try my idea with.
thanks for the replies.
Next ?, anyone have a pic of how supertrap puts their mufflers together?

Go to a sheet metal place and get them to roll you a new can. Shouldn't cost too much. A welding shop should be able to cut out the two end caps for you with a plasma cutter. Make it out of stainless!!!! It'll never rust out and will look sweet!! Damn---------now you got me thinking about making one!!!
