Please so much info on xb9 cans mods.How about info on xb12 cans.. Will like to know if a exhaust can of a xb9 will fit the header of a xb12, and all other mounting brackets for chin etc,I want to experiment with xb9 cans to work on the 12`s. all related info on mods do it yourself at home wd. be appreciated.. cutting,welding etc. pictures Thanks Chris | ||

A 9 can will fit a 12. The headers are a different diameter but the collector is the same size, and all the mounting points are the same. Perhaps if you list the specific cans you're interested in, you'll get more relevent info. | ||

Thanks 420  will give that a try.... | ||
| Hogs |
Anyone else have any mods. for the stock cans on the 9 and 12. Found some for the 9 but none for the 12. any pics. articles etc.etc. on either wd. be appreciated once again....Looking for a cheap fix for my silent 12 .:-)) | ||
| Buckinfubba |
Hogs all the home made tricks used on a 9 pipe will work on a 12 pipe, only diff in the pipes is the valve and all the homemade mods are at the rear of the pipe.... but of course I would listen to fullpower....  | ||
| Hogs |
Due to the Canadian Dollar not worth much....Are there any riders here in Canada that want to part with there stock XB exhaust cans? Send me a mail we can talk price....Thanks | ||
| Torqer |
All the experimenting has been done by folks with race experience and access to dyno run after dyno run by the Drummer folks. I doubt they'd share the secrets. But, what they do seems to be the shiznit. | ||
| Hogs |
Hmmm Stupid me..shiznit???? | ||
| Torqer |
Sorry... That is a part of an urban Sub-Culture dialect here south of the US/Canadian boarder. It's kinda like pig-latin. It means; ••••. | ||
| Hogs |
Cool there Torger, Kind of thought that..:-))) Must be some Canadian Riders out there that don`t want there old XB cans,... or give em up for some $$$$ | ||
| Torqer |
Good luck and happy Victoria Day. | ||

150$ n mines yours to destroy how u see fit | ||

420 I can't see how some OS people wouldn't be taking your pipe to send it to the Drummer factory for modification (save some freight). Don't know what the pipe is really worth but the Drummers were doing the stock ones for $100 until they ran out. Hog, if you want really good performance go the Drummer. | ||
| Captainplanet |
I think the going rate on Ebay for a stock 9 pipe is around 50 bucks. Some go cheaper than that. | ||
| Hogs |
Thanks Opto for the advice , U all have to remember I`m here in East Coast Canada home of the fading Lonnie (our Dollar) or half dollar of the USa.... So don`t take long to add up... Shipping,dollar rate, etc. I wd. say yeah a C note wd. be a going price for a used can.. Canadian that is..So if I can find some in Canada at a hundred a piece thats up my alley..:-))) Thanks | ||
| Hogs |
HEy Captainplanet ur right theres one on ebay now starting around the 50.00 $ mark, Still like to find a can or two here in Canada.. Where all them Canadians with old xb cans...? Or did they send them all down for the DRUMMER :-))))) Drummer wd. be nice to much Coin by the time its all said and done.For me now anyways nothing against the Drum :-)))) | ||
| Hogs |
Just a Little refresher....Anyone with pictures for modiflying a Stock XB9 exhaust thanks, or know of a thread....:-)))) | ||

I tried 1 mod to the stock 9 can....I first cut the end cap off it (at an angle to avoid the outtake) then removed a small section of the last piece of pipe leading to the outtake...ran like crap in the low end..ok in the higher (above 4K), but the bike ran waaay too lean so I "undid" that and put it back together... the path the exhaust follows through the can is essentially a big "S" - down the length of the can, back up to a baffle and down again then out. I read in a thread here that someone cut a section out of the top of the can and cut a small section out of two of the pipes, effectively bypassing the lower half of the "S". I would imagine this is not much better...tho the path is a little longer than my effort so it may be...does anyone know/remember who did that? I love the performance of the Buell race muffler I'm running now...good sound, great performance If the Drummer wasn't a modified stock, I'd say modifying the stock is a waste, but I was unable to get anything decent out of it. | ||
| Hogs |
Yeah thanks there Lpowe102... guess i`ll keep checking the threads, vault, Seen pics. for the 12 and 9 can before but cant seem to find any now ..just probally not looking in the right places. Will keep on searching.............. | ||
| Ingemar |
Pics or no pics, believe me its not worth your time. Recognize good advice when you get it. You're reinventing the wheel. Get a drummer. If ya can't afford it, start saving money. btw, a simple search brought this up for me: http://www.badweatherbikers.com/buell/messages/32777/57102.html?1085112692 Hope that helps, Ingemar. edited by Ingemar on May 27, 2004 | ||

I just want everyone to know that the only reason that I use the stock can to modify is because that everybody that bought an XB series motorcycle should have one... Its just easier this way...I can modify a car muffler to fit and work on your bikes or perhaps o piece from •••• gallon barrell...It is all material choice in my eyes...So don't be afraid to modify what you already own just because it started out as an original piece....makes no difference of the materil you use as long as you get to the same conclusion...KEVIN | ||

Seems cyclesteve is up next on the Drummer's right. | ||
| Hogs |
Thanks Ingemar for ur 2cents...However...You seem to forget where the So call "Drummer" arrived from..It does not mean that the Drummer is the "only" Mod on a Stock Xb can that will work.One might work Better or Not as good as the drummer who can say..its just giving up my stock xb12 can plus the $$$$$ to have A Drummer I have the welding,and basic knowedge of engines HAving owned and Modifly for the past 35 years 50 now so No offence taken but theres always another view ...Thanks | ||
| Hogs |
Hello Kevin Well I think I just repeated what you said ...your 100% Right.. Its like I like to play around if those are the right words to use.. I choose to keep my stock Can And any stock gear for that matter I wish to make mods to, in case of future sale..Or whatever...For me here to ship My stock can down there and purchase lets say the Drummer With The Canadian Dollar value to the USA dollar It all Adds up to alot of Coin.. And lets say I make mods to a Can and its lets say 5 hp. and 5 lbs. of torque less than an other at least it cost me the price of a used can say 50. t0 100. bucks and I did it myself XB 12 has more than enough hp and torque for me still if the above is true...Hope All can understand this...:-))) | ||
| Ingemar |
Hogs, I understand. Sorry for coming on a bit strong, like I said in another thread what I say does not always carry over the net the way I intend it to. I need to watch how I type things up. Give it a shot and keep us informed about the results. I know I didn't sound like it, but I am interested in the results. Good luck with it! Ingemar. | ||

Hey Ingemar No plms Pal... All the BeST, And thanks for that thread Link...:-) |
