  • In this episode we make the exhaust louder and deeper with the exhaust mod or drilling the rear exhaust baffles on the Yamaha Virago XV250, V-Star or Route 66 250 Budget Bobber Build Project.
    You will need to adjust the air fuel to your bike, mine required 1 and a half turns extra out to compensate for the pod filter and drilled exhaust.

      No worries mate glad you got something out of the video! They are a very quiet bike. Would love some straight pipes long term! 😁

    Just did mine, definitely sounds a lot deeper and louder, has some clacking sound maybe just because of the amplification, also feels like the acceleration improved, does not feel like the bike is getting chocked as hard. but i do only have a little 125cc cruiser style bike (QJ SRV 125 if you interested ) the only reason i did it is stock was WAY to quiet and i had 3 close call where other drivers just ignored me on the round about or just did not hear me.

    • @NeoArch
      @NeoArch ปีที่แล้ว +1

      A little update the "clacking sound" has disappeared, maybe it was a tiny metal shard trying to get out of the exhaust, and the sounds is WAY beefier now. Over all for 10 minutes of work, i like it.

    • @NeoArch
      @NeoArch 11 หลายเดือนก่อน +1

      Okay a little more update, the clacking comes after 60/70kms and hour. the sound of the exhaust is awesome but still cant figure where the "clacking" coming from. maybe the air hitting the holes? 🤷‍♂️
      at first i though it was maybe some metal pieces stuck there but no, and usually only starts doing it at 70km/h
      weird, ill be updating my comment for anyone who migjt be a little irritated with the "clacking" if u have it too.

I just got a 2005 xv250 list month for my first bike and I know I've learned a ton from your videos! I drilled holes into mine too so people can at least hear me somewhat now!
      But can you clarify plz on your comment here on which exhaust/muffler that you drilled out is the "1st" one that made it louder? And how big diameter hole saw did you use? A 2in?
      I would gut them both but I'm trying to not have to rejet until I'm more confident or have the money lol

    Can anyone tell !?
    Drilling 2-3 holes along side the baffle tip like this dude did. Will make stock exhaust sound more base or rough ,? I want to try it on 125 cc commuter.
    What if one removes baffle completely with ring drill ,
    What disadvantages does this have.
