Also, to save ages of drill time use 1 1/4" white Bosch holesaw bit first then use 2" white Bosch holesaw bit after. Works a treat and sounds great no problems at all
i can't believe the weld broke so easy where that pipe goes into second baffle, i had to rock the heck out the pipe on mine to break the weld, they sound pretty good but in the end i put some roadburner street pros on, nothing i did to the oem mufflers can compare to sound of roadburners and i started like you with a final baffle removal then removed the next one in and finally a full gut
Great video but I noticed a slight backfire which is usually indicative of a lean mixture of the carbs. Did you have to re-jet it? I agree about the muffled sound of the stock pipes. On my V-Star 650, the wind noise drowns out the engine exhaust to the point where I cant hear the engine which I find annoying.
I think mine needs a jett adjustment but I will change the Air filter to pods then jet it . Now with drilled out it seems a lil lean. It seemed a lil lean stock anyway. But surly a big help as far as 0 to 60 .. . I may dig out more crap out of that muffler like the cat int there !
After this mod you will DEFINETLY have to rejet the carb. I know this because I did the same thing. It may run ok for a little while but it will start to run like crap until it eventually wont run worth a damn. The engine will run too lean if you don't rejet possibly causing engine failure.
@@dominicbedanhowto7026 You did it the correct way in the video, I've seen people take out the entire retaining wall for the baffle and they suffer performance loss. But making the smallest hole you can to get the baffle out is the best idea, because the left over cone at the end allows for some back pressure which helps the engine.
Hi there! 2006 Vstar 1100 custom My wholesaw went all the way in, but the baffle doesn't come out, I even tried to pull with pliers and nothing. Can anyone help me out here? Thanks
Just been out trying this and can't get the inner weld to break. No where near as easy as it seems in the video and I'm a mechanic. Also takes a hell of a lot of drilling
J R I didn't, it backfires a little bit but it doesn't really bother me. also when you have it on full choke and you revit up it'll shoot fireballs. check out my other video to see and hear what it sounds like. I'll be modding the hell out of this bike so like And subscribe if you want some good quick no BS pointers on how to make this bike badass
J R nice ! use a bigger drill bit than I did in the this video. I went back after and used the biggest bit that would fit in my exaust. it made it sound better and look cooler.
isnt the top pipe fake? ive got one and it isnt even connected to the rear cylinder. the real one goes out under the bike and connects up to the bottom pipe i believe.
Everyone talking like it’s so easy I’m destroying my tips on the exhaust I can’t get one out and I’m wiggling beating the crap out of it. I’ve rebuilt motors and can’t get this dang baffle out.
Just did this to mine an it didnt work for me. Got through both pieces an still wouldn't come out. Ended up cutting the whole end off from where the cone starts an completely removed the baffles.. Sounds Good to!
U have to get by another tier on 1100 it takes some work but video is wrong it's not easy I see lies don't waste time on video u have another tier to get by for this to work.
@@thomasmclaughlin1222 early model 1100 are easier to do this to. mid to late models had catalytic converters added and makes it alot more complicated like u mentioned.

Was yours the vstar 1100 too? I want to make sure the size of the saw is right. I'm doing this today
Awesome. I have a great love for the Vstar. Still miss my Silverado something horrible.

THANKS YOU SO MUCH! EVEN AFTER ALL THESE YEARS YOUR VIDEO HAS HELPED US! APPRECIATE IT!😎🏆
did this in 10 minutes ... huge improvement to the sound! I dont sound like im on a scooter any more hahaha I will be replacing the exhaust soon
What exhaust system will you use?
Just did this on my 2007, sounds great and no rejet at 495m altitude
Plus P any backfiring?
YOUR MOM HAD A REJET. ON PROSTITUTION AVENUE
Did you have to re-jet the carbs after removing the baffles? Any backfiring after that? Thanks
Thank you for the demonstration
How did yours come out so easy? I’ve been doing mine for an hour and still on the first one !
Fantastic. Great video.
Working on my own 03 Vstar
did you have to do anything with the carb afterward?
What size bit did you use?
Do AIS delete and move jet needles up one clip - should get rid of popping 👍
what size did you use on your drill to saw out?
What altitude are you in this video? I’m in Colorado
Can I use a 1 1/2 instead of the 1 1/4?
Might do both pipes on my 250🤣
What size hole saw did you use
Same D 404s I have
Is that the stock exhaust
What size hole saw?
Nice video thank you! I might do this. What year is it? It's a 650 right?
1100
It's a 1100

Same, it's kind of annoying. I want to get a viper kit for it but I dont have the money rn

You can get rid of that back firing by disconnecting the AIS system. And it will sound better again
Holey sounds better then a new exhaust
is your bike 650cc?
“It’s a little toasty” *sets it on a carpet*

What size of jet you put on?
I'm surprised I know of a few people who have done it with zero issues no rejet or anything
that mod doesnt seem to have to do with anything with the carb. I don't get that logic. no effect whatsoever
@@HighAway more air in or out requires more fuel which means jetting or at the minimum adjust the fuel screws and or needle
@@mattblyther5426 Right, i do get that part but what does it help? boosting up a bit? giving more oomph??
Nice!!!
What cc is yours
This modification is for the 650 or 1100 V-Star?
Looks like an 1 100 with the rear disc brake
It works nothing like video shows it an absolute nightmare but nothing is ever that simple
What else did you have to do?
What kind of whole saw is that? I can’t find one that. Mine is too short
Israel Rodriguez you have the same bike? I have a v250 and tbh any mm whole saw will work!! I used a 38mm and got the baffles out no problem
Any performance issues lost ? Like a carb retune or anything
I haven't had any problems. It actually seems like a little more power but I haven't put it on a dino or anything

Hi there!
2006 Vstar 1100 custom
My wholesaw went all the way in, but the baffle doesn't come out, I even tried to pull with pliers and nothing. Can anyone help me out here?
Thanks
probably welded from the other side of the baffle. try prying it up and down if u havent already gotten it.
does it has any cons?
Backfiressometimes. But if you rejected it won't
Just been out trying this and can't get the inner weld to break. No where near as easy as it seems in the video and I'm a mechanic. Also takes a hell of a lot of drilling
hit it with your purse;)
Did you have to rejet?

Thanks for the response. I just subscribed to you channel.

do you have a website or anything showing the progress of your bike and whats been done to it?
Jeremy Rodriguez no website just the youtube

Not on the 650 at least. It is definitely not fake!
Smart...
Cheap for a quick fix Intel you get real exaust
I think this is a 650. Bill Hentings video is 1100 and it sounds much more natural
Sounds great but why tf I have rear drums?!?!?!
fffourtwenty you have a 650. This is an 1100
@@derekmatson09 Ohhhh
Will this work on 650 as well?

Dominic can you help me I tried it and the baffle won't come out what should I do
FellowRser drill deeper. There are two walls of metal you have to get through
I have the same problem. I went through both walls and still can get the baffles out. Something is holding them from the inside
Just did this to mine an it didnt work for me. Got through both pieces an still wouldn't come out. Ended up cutting the whole end off from where the cone starts an completely removed the baffles.. Sounds Good to!
You're only idling on one cylinder! Probably needs to be re-jetted.
I fixed it since then
@@dominicbedanhowto7026 did you rejet it?
Ahem. Make sure you have an exhaust where that shit isn't welded inside. I had to cut the exhaust and weld it back. Not fun
Sounds terrible lol rejet it
This is click bait don't watch video it I s not how it goes u have a another tier u have to go through for this to happen falsely video.
U have to get by another tier on 1100 it takes some work but video is wrong it's not easy I see lies don't waste time on video u have another tier to get by for this to work.

Sounds absolutely awful.
please don’t do this.
Horrible sound dude , go with cobra if you want a bad ass growl ,,,,,
The sound in the video does no justice. It sounds completely different in person.
That sounds like absolute garbage ,
What size saw did you use ?

Did you have to mess with carbs
Feminist Lobster do you have to re adjust carbs
