200x exhaust.....?

[jsmay]

ok... who is still making exhaust systems for 200x's... is dg and cobra the only choice? will an exhaust for a trx??? fit on a 200x? just wondering....? thanks guys.

[tri again]

I have a cobra that needs repacking frequently and is only comfortable with ear plugs for me.

The other 10+ trikes haul &*(%$ and are quiet.

If it's an issue for you, make sure it meets off road db ratings AND spark arrest
requirements or the cops can impound your mo cheen.

Other folks on here know tons more than I do about freeer flowing, rejetting etc tec so surely someone will chime in soon.

thanks for the heads up on the cobra... not looking for loud just something better than what i hae now....an old stock thats pretty much a hollow can.

If you can keep your eyes open, a whole parts trike may come along for the price of a new exhaust.

I like stock and the famous honda 1 kick start, puuuurrrrfect idle etc,
A tricky fancy new exhaust may cause you to take the carb off a few times to rejet because of the difference in air flow.

I guess if a couple seconds over a 1oo yard run means that much to some people but I just wanna ride and not get tickets or start fires and quieter is better for me. Doesn't scare the wildlife.

There's a ford tractor muffler people say will fit for like 25 bucks. Maybe fo4#

Gander mtn had some multi hundred dollar silencer for 50 bucks.

A good stock setup or similar is pleasing to hear idle and run.

Our local outdoor power equip place has some pretty cool mufflers cheap too.

Maybe they'd even give you an old one for free.

Start penetrating oiling your mounting bolts and head studs once a day, but hopefully you won't have to go anywhere near the head.

Maybe there's something that will simply slide inside your empty can.

As a matter of fact, the x I traded for a br had a generic silencer jammed right into the rear can and it fit like a glove.

It was about a foot long, same diameter exhaust pipe like 1 or 2 inch whatever it is, and the outer casing was a perfect fit with the stock can like 3 or 4" diameter.

Find a Supertrapp for a 350X and have a mid pipe made up.

I nabbed a nice one last week for 75$, no one bid...........

[matt86200x]

Can you tell me more about the ford tractor muffler. Part# does it need to be welded to the headpipe?

[leviblue]

check out Daltons200X 450 swap.... not much fabing at all if I remember and it sounded good. I just gave Robby a Kerker for Onnie's X. It's almost Harley sounding... I have the Supertrapp on my 500X. It's old school and needs a repacking

****IN MY OPINION****

Cobra's as a POS, DG's are nice, Bassani's are awesome, but SupperTrapp is one of my favorite pipes. But a good Bassani exhaust system is what I've found works best.

[Jerm1179]

i love my bassani...but its rather loud aswell..if thats a concern you might want to think about the supertrapp...if its too loud add a few discs

[xrider]

Actually if the supertrapp is too loud you remove discs fyi.

[jsmay]

Do White bros still make pipes? I was hoping someone here may have tried a 250x pipe on a 200x... That may sound silly but if I had one I'd see if it was close... More options if it is... Cause they are the same as the 300ex. Or is there a universal fit muffler? Another question... I see dg offers a chrome system..does it hold up better? Looks like the head pipe is one piece over the plain steel 2 piece head pipe..

[Jerm1179]

makes sense...opens it up a bit..ty

If your old stock silencer isn't too rotted-out a real easy fix is to remove-it, and squirt a liberal amount of WD-40 down the exhaust port and leave-it soak for a few hours. Straighten-out & sharpen the end of a coat hanger, then poke at the baffles with a bit of force. Not enough to damage any weakend parts, but with enough force to clear the holes that get carboned-up. Carefully remove the cleaning-cap at the bottom / end of the silencer and shake-out the debris. Leave-it sit for another few hours to allow any remaining lubricant to dry-up before you reinstall. Sometimes it will smoke a bit from the residual lubricant burning-off, but it quickly goes away as most of any left in the pipe is blow out.

My dealership mechanic told me this and I thought he was nuts.....but I tried anyway & I was shocked at the difference. My 250SX was a lot quieter & idled much better after I did it. I t always had a bit of a "hiccup" at idle prior to me doing this....and I never even noticed that it had gotten progressivley louder over the years.

I would try that but there is nothing left to the inside... just the muffler shell... not rotted or anything just empty.
