I think I’m going to try to modify something like this.
It’d definitely fit onto the pipe from the front cylinder, the problem will be the pipe from the rear cylinder.
What looks like the rear pipe on an xv250 is actually a fake pipe that does nothing. The rear cyclinder exhausts through a pretty s pretty small bore pipe that runs between the cylinder and the battery/rear tyre and comes in to join the stock exhaust at right angles. I think I can braze something onto that universal silencer to connect up and hopefully dumping it in there is ok and maybe takes the edge off the noise just a little bit!
I’d read a lot that suggested straight piping these bikes led to a massive reduction in power but I didn’t see that being the case when I went for a spin yesterday.
