running hotter? cause u drilled the holes?
Drilled stock exhaust vs Yoshi sound
I drilled my stock exhaust not quite as big as what Lucky recommended and it's pretty loud but I'm more concerned about it running a little hot.
Will the Yosh or Jardine be a great deal louder?

I drilled lots of invisible holes, no running hot here! :mrgreen: :mrgreen: :mrgreen:
The yosh is gonna have a way better sound than just drilled holes in the stocker.
Test:
(1) place hand over mouth and scream> simulated stock muffler>
(2) place hand over mouth lifting one finger roughly an inch from mouth and scream> simulated stocker with holes
(3) Place hands perpendicular to both side of mouth, touching the index(pointer finger) to corresponding side of nose. Now scream.> simulated yoshi pipe

What did you do, get a aircraft drill and drill from the exhaust port? Does it make it sound good?

My exact question, where in the hell are u drilling the holes at...i mean what part of the exhaust? :???:
I drilled my stock exhaust according to LuckyDevil's mods page, and it sounded alittle better, but no where near as good as my Yoshi pipe!!!! No comparison what so ever!!!
you drill 2 holes like an 1" or something from the start of the can....Lucky's got the exact details.

I know it will sound better for sure but how much louder is it?but no where near as good as my Yoshi pipe!!!! No comparison what so ever!!!
I drilled (because I'm cheap) from the exhaust pipe with a long drill bit. small holes, but lots of them. I just started drilling and stopped when I liked the sound of it. You can't see this "mod" from the outside, it's great!!! :mrgreen:

Do what powerranger says. I did lucky devil's mod and then used a 1/4 inch x 14 inch drill bit to go down the pipe and add 2 more holes. My bike sounds Awesome. Way better than many of the after market pipes I have heard.
Going down the pipe is better because it can't be seen. Also, the corner of my tag gets black after a while because the exhaust hits it a little.

I did this last week, and I put the holes in the same place as Lucky Devil did. I admit it does make a noticable improvement in sound. I am still looking forward to getting my Yosh slip on though.
My friends father (pretty smart guy and I respect him) told me that by doing this I voided my warranty and that over a little time this may cause some damage to the engine (mainly in the valves).
Is he right on either of these?

MeatheadB is right, it will couse some damage to the engine(valves), it's not the first time i hear this. BE WARNED.
oh really? and an aftermarket pipe is any different?
so let's see. by drilling holes you effectifly enlarge the opening of the pipe. so... by installing an aftermarket pipe that has an opening about 2 times as big, you must REALLY screw up the valves right?
lets figure out how more effective exhaust venting will damage the valves? and ideas? yeah, well i don't have any either. this is a ridiclous claim, just ignore it.

Excuse my ignorance. And I'll make sure to remind friends to NEVER post questions on this site, because the almighty, all-knowing FOX will slay them down with his infinite knowledge and over bearing sarcasm.
Sorry I wasted your time with my pety inquiries! I'll go sit in the corner now for being so dumb.
I also apologize for this childish post, I know fighting sarcasm with sarcasm is useless.

If i'm wrong you might as well correct me by giving me some facts, anyone. anyway I just heard from some people that messing with/drilling the stock exhuast might cause damage to the engine, I'm not saying this, because i know for sure. Correct me if i'm wrong, i'd like to know for sure.FOX said:oh really? and an aftermarket pipe is any different?

look man, i wasn't be sarcastic toward you. you asked a resonable question. i was being sarcastic toward that post right above mine... "this will hurt your valves, be WARNED"
how could you not be sacastic about that
Consider the source....maybe Dad "don't like dem loud scooters" and just talking trash!
On the other hand........back in the old days guys used to remove the whole muffler and run around with just the header pipe thinking it sounded cool. Since the header pipe was so short....the valves could get warped once the engine was off and cooling down. I think this is where he got the idea....but drilling out your 600rr exhaust is completely different.....and will not "hurt" the motor.
Think stuff through.....and don't just take somebody else's word as truth ;-)

by drilling holes in the can, what are you doing? making the hole in the can larger. and bypassing some of the sound dampening. THATS IT. the same thing an aftermarket pipe does.kenezzite said:If i'm wrong you might as well correct me by giving me some facts, anyone. anyway I just heard from some people that messing with/drilling the stock exhuast might cause damage to the engine, I'm not saying this, because i know for sure.

What is the purpose of the exhaust on your bike, or any internal combustion engine for that matter? its purpose is to dampen sound, increase low end torque, and route the hot gas away from the operator and other parts of the machine. it has no function in engine reliablity, valve adjustment, or some mystery valve damage.
case in point: every bike that has an aftermarket exhaust has not reported exhaust valve damage. RC-211V runs open pipes. countless race cars, NASCAR, 24 hour lemans endurance race cars, all run open exhaust.
and i would like this damage described... like what are we talking about? overheating? warping? scored? physical damage? excessive residue build-up?
basicly, the simple reason why what you do to your exhaust will have no effect on the valves is that the exhaust is later in the air flow pattern in the engine that the vlaves.
i think i made my part of the argument, now please ask who ever told either of you to back up their side. i consider myself fairly knowledgable about engine theory, design, repair, and power gain... but if they have a good argument and can prove it, i will admit i'm wrong
so why don't you guys just cut out the inside the the pipe and just make it a strait pipe?
btw this is a real question i just wanted to know if that would really work or not?

Drilling a hole via a 14" drill bit through the tail pipe takes 30 seconds. Cutting out the internal stuff would be alot more time consuming and labor intensive.....plus the drilled hole gives a nice, not too load sound.
