Hi there

I have a 89' honda vtz250 and am wanting i bit more noise out of it. Being a vt i know it has alot of potential to sound great but i am wodering what i should do to get the sound i want. Im after a louder and deeper sound (not so it sounds like a dirtbike)

Just wanting to know what taking the baffles out of my stock exhaust would sound like....or should i get some money together and buy a can from somewhere. Could someone please tell what i should do and if i should be bying one where i should go.(im based in wellington)
:yes:

:yes:

hacksaw, mounting shim (peice of pipe works well for cheap arses), exhaust gunk for the gap (in the shim) and CRC exhaust tape to take up a couple mm, usually just 1 or 2 mm (it expands and holds the bitch on there!), slash cut shorty from motomail (removable baffle, theres one on my ginny, it sounds mean and loud with the even baffle in! Im really pleased with it, nice low pitched grunt and a angered bark when you rev it, i love the thing) for $60 +/- $5

In that order

so, you get down pipe, a layer of tape seal, shim (if its even needed) + gunk, one bit o' tape then exhaust muffler... seals everything and doesnt cost you your testicles...

Hey Guys,

I'm trying hard to track down this thread from Limbimtwin, for the VTR250 muffler mod,

I just bought a VTR250 and it sounds like a toilet flushing washing machine,

I heard that the lil Vtwin can sound half decent with a mod, new can, I am willing to pay for the sound and don't want performance gains. Thats when my future TL or Firestorm will come in :)

please if anyone has a link to the abovementioned threads, I would be very much appreciative.

cheers,
dan
