That would be the race muffler from the1999 and newer tubers. The exhaust ports are 2.5" on those models. you need a race header to match,not sure if the stock header reaches that far. | ||
| Brinnutz |
Stock header does not reach that far. There was an elbow made for those, but I don't know where/how to get it or the part number. | ||
| Bluzm2 |
No elbow, the race header wraps around the motor and down under. It has longer runners than a stock header. | ||
| Brinnutz |
Bluz, there was an elbow, Brett has one on his X1 that goes from his stock header to his pro series can | ||
| Jos51700 |
Both are correct. Race header wrapped around, but there's an elbow made for adaptation to stock headers. | ||

These parts are obsolete you can get the last on earth stainless steel pipe on earth that i know of at ironmachine.com but they do not have the elbow i asked you ll need to take it to a harley dealer to have on fabricated for 200.00 bucks no thanks, ill use the d and d full system its just a little better than the race system. but its exspensive 616.-650. | ||

Aluminum? Never seen an aluminum one before. Looks like one of the rear mounts was ripped out. | ||
| Sloppy |
It's the original race muffler made for the Buell Race Kit. Nope, not aluminum. It's stainless. You'll either need a race header with it or fabricate an elbow for it. Yep, rear mount is also shattered. (Message edited by sloppy on September 16, 2008) | ||

A very curious muffler. Looks just like the stainless one... interesting. | ||
| Sloppy |
All of the factory race kit mufflers are stainless. How are you checking to see if it's aluminum? | ||
| Ebutch |
Sloppy: Aluminum is very soft.Stainless steel very hard!I have owned stainless can but sold it,because it was load!regretted it!ended up with this.I also used to be a welder.I don,t know about this thing that's why I posted it. | ||

Sounds like you know your mat'l. Just wanted to make sure you weren't using a magnet to test it. Perhaps someone custom made an aluminum muffler modeled after the race can? | ||
| Ebutch |
It,s a dead ringer!Looks factory too! | ||

I want to put some compression fitting in place of the stock crank case breathers. Does anyone know what the thread size is? | ||

If you'd like some dented race headers to go with the dented can, I have a set from my M2 just collecting dust in my garage. I have an even more dented race can too, if you want to pull the mount off it. The can mount was welded to the bike bracket, though, so I always had to take the whole bracket off to remove the muffler. | ||
| Ebutch |
Sanchez:Have race header ,but race can maybe can be ground down for brackit?My can is dented at trans oil plug factory.If your giving it I,ll take it.Thank you!1969 I lived in Marietta Ga BSA Lightning Then.Butch (Message edited by ebutch on September 21, 2008) | ||

Sure, PM me your mailing address, and I'll let you know how much the shipping comes out to. Or if you're coming down for Buelltoberfest, I can just give it to you in a couple of weeks. | ||

Every tuber race muffler I've had or seen has been aluminum...although I'll have to get back to work to read the original catalogs in my desk. I think they mention the (aluminum) construction. *OEM* tuber mufflers, at least for the S1W, were stainless. The earlier black painted tuber OEM mufflers were mild steel. | ||
| Djkaplan |
My tuber race muffler is stainless steel. I still have it in the box it came in. I never used it with the race header. | ||
| Jc000 |
My tuber race muffler is stainless steel Mine too. Also two I've just found at a dealer. |
