What Do You X1 Riders Use For Mufflers?? Does it have clearance for an easy transmission oil change? Are the D&D mufflers any good? |

SSR Vance and Hines. Sounds great, seems to be holding up good. You have to loosen it up to drain transmission. |

It's astounding the number of Utah riders popping up on here lately! My V&H had the best clearance aside from the stock pipe, though my bike's not specifically an X1 fit is the same. Supertrapp doesn't have great clearance for that but is a great pipe anyway. Preybird1 runs a force system on his hot rodded X1. All the reviews on the D&D pipe said it was a nice stout pipe with good power output, though it is a bit loud. |

Daytona boss here. Cons: No longer sold. Mounting hardware was a pathetic joke. LOUD. Pros: Great powerband with continuous torque curve. Shiny stainless finish. (until you ride the bike) Clearance for tranny drain. I brazed my mounting clamps to the muffler so now it doesn't rattle loose anymore. |

V&H SS2R. I just undo the rear bracket and swing it down to access the drain plug. Easy. |

M-2: Stock OEM Suppressor S-3: Buell Race Kit Pipe Both run very well with good powerband. Stock OEM Suppressor is best in town. Buell Race Pipe is best on open road. |

really loud and crazy performance with a D&D and 1250cc, don't know about clearance with the drain plug but 2 nut and bolts and a clamp are not so much of a deal |

That Magnaflow looks like a good idea, but I think my pipes are 2.5" |

looks really creative. What did you use for the elbow and the mount bracket from the header to the muffler ? |

Not an X1, but I run a race header with a 4" Supertrapp external disk. It looks something like this:

My elbow was a left over from my WileyCo. Exhaust. I would assume there are some others out there that would work from things like an old D&D or other aftermarket system where the muffler has fallen apart. |

I bought the X1 with a V&H already on it, but thought it too loud, so I picked up a stock can. I may repack the V&H & give it another try... |
