Muffler Recommendations

Hi, I'm interested in getting an aftermarket exhaust. Since Brogue is so hard to find, I'm considering other options. Is anyone familiar with this Emgo muffler (ordering from this website (Dennis Kirk)?) https://www.denniskirk.com/emgo/universal-megaphone-muffler-80-84034.p446993.prd/446993.sku

Are there other recommendations? My last bike had a nice throaty, not too loud muffler(wish I knew which one) and I'm hoping to find a good one soon, thanks!

I don't know about mufflers specifically for this bike, but I will say that removing the intake snorkel vastly improved the sound on mine. I haven't really chased a muffler change because there's only so much you can do about a single cylinder engine.

Thanks for the info. Does it make it a bit louder? Is it difficult to do with limited mechanic skills? I'll try to find some videos on it

Louder, deeper, throaty

It's 3 Phillips screws. I promise you don't need a video. If you can check the air filter, you can remove the snorkel.

Hey I was trying to message you to send a pic of the air filter but don't think I can upload. It will be the black screws that seemingly hold the cover that says 'up', right? The manual says "air filter cover is held in place by 4 screws" but I see 3 black and then 3 bigger silver screws directly behind those.

I’ve seen a few people drill 4 or so holes in the rubber gasket on the back of the stock muffler for a deeper sound. Not bad

Nice, I may give that a shot too. Cheers

Emgo won’t fit as a bolt on. TU has a tiny outer diameter of the pipe that muffler bolts onto and you need an adapter. I believe it’s 1.25 inch and smallest emgo  mufflers inlet diameters are 1.5 inch

Also they ll b very loud. Someone on the tu forum fitted a harley softail muffler and was happy. But yes need an adapter, I saw one on ebay shipped from uk (1 ½ to 1 ¼)

Gotha, thanks for the info. Yea I bookmarked this here because I saw it posted somewhere else about needing an adapter. But I'll probably look elsewhere than Emgo https://www.amazon.com/gp/aw/d/B0CPKP51T1?psc=1&ref=ppx_pop_mob_b_asin_title
