Anyone shorty a mufler?

I serously doubt shortening the can that much will hurt back pressure since most of it is made with the size/bends of the headers.

I would repack the can. Two bro's sells a kit for 20 bones.

Actually that bike was known for its midrange, back in the day.

the early ones were, but they got a rep for being underpowered and fat before the 929 and 954 showed up but by then they were far behind.

That's what I thought too. Heck, even the GSXR750 was beating them... Anyway, I thought that the length of the muffler could alter the hp and tq characteristics of an engine... I guess I was wrong.

Sorry if I stepped on your toes Bro, I was giving honest advice based on what I thought was right.

It would and does effect the performance.

Buell uses a long path for low rpm in the xbs and short for higher revs.

When I rigged it so I was using the short path, I lost low end power.

Now my bike felt sluggish when I took off the muff and mid pipe. Even though it has a cat it felt slower getting up to speed. But between the shorty I have and the long scorpion (dont know what its really meant for), I couldnt tell.
