Stallion test ride:

[Fortsand]

I had an opportunity to test ride a Stallion and the first thing that got my attention was the loud exhaust . That would be the first order of business to address. I was looking at the stock muffler underneath. I wonder how much sound deadening material it has inside. I was thinking of branching off behind the catalytic converter into twins and
installing a muffler on each side as large as could be accomodated. I wonder if that would affect the gas mileage. I don't own a
Stallion, just looking for solutions in case I decide to purchase.

Fortsand, find in the Stallion specific section the thread titled Stalion Dual Exhaust Upgrade that Bazooka started. I think the information there will give you lots of help. If you want to contact Zook about it, his contact information is under the Adventure Trike title.

Thanks for your response. I actually did the test ride at Zook's.
I have seen the exhaust mod and I believe that is mostly a cosmetic
upgrade and does not do anything with the sound. I do believe there are possibilities though. Thanks.

Joe- Thats the first system I built and it did change the sound. Deeper but not quieter. I have two other mufflers available and different tips that reduce the noise. Its not stock Gold Wing quite like you said you wanted (yet) but I'm working on it. There is limited room underneath in terms or length from the catalytic converter back and in width. Believe me...its tight with the larger mufflers.

Fortsand, I spoke with Zook about the exhaust that he is making, but for the opposite reason, we wanted a different sound. He advised he that he is making 2 versions of the dual exhaust in which one is quiter. I suggest you give him a call to get the straight skinny. My wife has had her stallion since March 9th and has 7000 miles on it. I still can not get the smile off her face.

Ive had a Stallion on an auto lift in the air more than Ive had it on the ground in the last two months.

Hay Bazooka,

You up to a set of headers and a Turbo Charger?
