Hi , i want to know if it's necessary have mounted on my 99 X1 the "y" front mount to use a D&D slip-on muffler. may be it's a stupid question i know it. | ||

If you don't use the front mount, you'll: A)rip off all the exhaust studs B)break all the mounts/clamps C)vibrate clamp from muffler to header loose causing muffler to fall, resulting in a pogo effect flipping you off of the bike. D)nothing happens, but the chance of all of the above and more is increased by one million percent. Short answer: Yes | ||

Yes. I have the D&D slip-on and the front muffler mount is offset for the updated "Y" mount. You might be able to use a long spacer and the old mount but trust me it won't last. There is a vendor on ebay selling the D&D slip-on for like $75 cheaper than I bought mine for. Also you can call American Sport Bike directly and just get the mount only. It's not listed but they have them separately. | ||

I bought one from the vendor on ebay, shipping was fast and the muffler was still in D&D's packaging so they are legit. | ||

Ok , so i have to take it , thx for the fast answer | ||

I get a chub every time my D&D sets off a car alarm.  This is the perfect muffler if you want loud, considering the only louder option for tubers is known for breaking all the time. | ||
| Tdman77 |
Pk's right it is one of the loudest. The only thing louder I have heard was no muffler. LOUD PIPES SAVE LIVES! | ||

Phil, you ought to hear my kooks then, heh. D&D does sound awesome though | ||
| Flxmanlethal |
Dumb Question..... do you at some point have to repack the D&D | ||
| 5liter |
I never have. | ||
| Tdman77 |
The D&D does not require repacking. It doesn't use fiber fill. I don't even think there is a way to take it apart except for cutting the welds. It's a great LOUD exhaust. My only gripe it that it weighs a ton! | ||
| Pkforbes87 |
D&D has a cap in the rear that's held in by a set screw on the bottom and a tack weld on the top, but I've been riding with mine for a little over 10k miles and don't hear any difference or feel a change in performance from when it was new. The Vance & Hines I replaced really showed a difference after 5000 or so miles when it needed repacked. | ||

Phil, you get my txt? | ||
| Pkforbes87 |
nope. the blackberry is not exactly up to par lately. Always shows an hour glass icon and lags horribly. It takes 2-3 minutes just to place a call. | ||
| Brinnutz |
Yo, sent you a couple a few hours ago, wtf. | ||

Speaking of mounting the D&D - Mine came from the States with the wrong size elbow to fit the stock headers and I had to have a)The header end reduced by a half inch and, b)The muffler end lengthened by 2.5 inches. It's all good now but it was a setback nonetheless! Looks Great and LOUD!!! Love my D&D....... | ||

ohh, i wonder if aus got the euro headers that were just 2 inch collecters. That would explain why it didnt fit. |
