- October 18, 2025, 05:10:32 AMI just found this video of a Drifter 1500 with what appears to be a stock exhaust (incl. its "goat bladder") that seems to produce a louder, deeper sound.
Would this be the sound you get when you remove the internal mufflers but leave the goat bladder intact?
Or is it simply the way the camera's microphone recorded the sound (i.e., with boosted low frequencies)?

Thanks!

I know this is an old post, but I was wondering if you still have the video of your OEM exhaust with the silencer removed.
The link in your post no longer works.
Kiitoksia!

- September 19, 2018, 03:11:01 AMYeah, coming back to me now, it was 7 tears ago I removed the exhaust and then replaced it. From memory I put a wooden stick down from the engine side and gave it a few thumps, there was only 1 tab weld holding that plate in place, after that, the whole thing was then just an empty tube.

My oem was a 'fishtail' , oval shaped at the end with 2 or 3 small pipes projecting out. Held by 1 screw with no internal baffling - very effective in muting the sound.
This was an Australian model, but I don't think we're talking OEM, here..

- September 16, 2018, 13:50:20 PMOk, here is the second baffle what I must to take off. I starting to drill first 6mm holes around these two inner pipes and 4mm drill I make those two tight sides. Before chisel second baffle I must to lower this one aligment plate edges so that is not blocking the baffle
when I taking it off. I am not very sure, if this plate edges blocking that baffle that baffle can fit this hole.

- September 13, 2018, 10:43:50 AMWell , maybe I try to remove the second baffle out. It is the similar like first one what I took off.
The second is more deeper inside muffler and I need long drill and chisel.
If anyone has informations, is this second connected like first one, let my know, thanks.
I put pics over there when I start this second round!

will notice any real difference.
