what will give me the best sound on my s40 without removing the cats? i already have a thrush turbo muffler and i was hoping to but that on to achieve a nice sound, but dont want to proceed if its not going to sound good.

 

Put* that on

 

What are you looking for? "Best" is very opinionated..

 

Not like extremely loud,, but not whisper quiet either

 

That leaves a huge margin. I suggest just going and taking out the big middle muffler/resonator.

I have taken out the middle cat, resonator, and have a OBXR in the back.

And literally just about 5 minutes ago ordered my cutout.

 

I think you need Resonator and it only will help you.

 

The stock resonator is heavy but fairly free flowing. I would suggest something like a Magnaflow bullet or XR-1 if you want to keep another resonator/muffler.

 

For the motorcycle enthusiasts, I’m in a quandary. I recently purchased a 2006 Suzuki Boulevard s40, and I love it except for it runs extremely lean. I had the carb serviced and jetted, but the mechanic said he couldn’t get it quite right and realized the problem. The previous owner drilled holes in the end of the exhaust hoping to get more sound. All it has really accomplished is a seriously lean running bike. The mechanic said the best start to curing the extreme leanness is to find a new pipe. My question is, will getting a new pipe that is full baffled really cure the problem? Everything I’ve read says that these little thumpers are naturally lean due to EPA restrictions. Thank you!
