    Exclamation Exhaust Suggestions?

    The exhaust on my big red 250 is shot. its been welded around 40 times and its rusting from the inside out. It sounds like a bull moose under water. This most recent hole is expanding every time I rev the engine. are there any options for an exhaust for this bike? I kind of dont want to get a stock one but I may have no other choice. Has anybody ever fitted one off another trike?

    heres the best one ive found. Ive also heard about cobra but I like this one better.
    It runs from 250 - 290 and shipping is free. So when i get back to work I might order one of these. what do you guys think is it a good trusted pipe? www.ggb.ca

    but would the cobra be really loud? I want a pipe with a nice sound, but not extremely loud, I'd like to find a happy balance. OBTW, I couldnt find any FMF, DG, Bassani, etc for the big red online.

    Its kind of GHETTO, but You can always quiet it down with some steel wool but you will sacrifice some performance but it will still be better than stock. I wont lie I've done it.

    if the cobra is like the one on my old 200x its a very loud pipe.

    maybe a hmf or a power core 4 slip on adapted on would sound nice

    Three wheeler guys probably have the biggest balls out of all the ATV/Motorcycle riders. You just have to be a little twisted to ride them, and you have to be a great rider to do so.

    well dang. I just did some work to the trike, and was gonna take the exhaust off and paint it, so when i unbolted the two bolts on the muffler, it just fell off. it was that rusty. so i took some two inch pipe and weled it on to the factory slip on, then welded a washer on the end with a half inch hole in the center and it is loud! I am just wanting a decent sound, it isnt bad like this, it sound kinda cool, but i want a deeper sound, thats not too loud

    dude, my cobra is cool. it is a tad bit on the loud side, but sounds good! People stop and take a second look at it, cause they think it is something bigger

    if you were to put a cobra pipe on a stock 250 what kind of re-jetting would you be looking at any suggestions?
    Using a manual isn't that like cheatin?
