Kerker exhaust (bolt/slip on)
hey guys
I have a 99 900 RRX. It came with a Kerker Bolt on exaust canister. It had a good deep tone, opened up in the mid range with more volume but I wanted a bit more volume and more rasp, sooo....
The other night I went out (without my camera <kicks own @ss>) and I pulled it off and apart and cut 4 inches out of it.
It was a pain in the rear getting the bolts drilled into the outside to bolt things back together afterwards.
but what I did when I had it apart was, pulled the canister apart, removed all the packing from the core. Measured and cut 4 inches off of the outside. Then I cut 3 inches from the inside "perforated pipe". I wanted to flare one end of the core so the 2 pieces could slip together. Not having much to work with, I used an old wodden hardball bat and forced the core down the bat till the other half would slide inside.
I wish this had have been planned better because I would have used new muffler packing, so I just shortened the piece I took out an rewrapped the core. Then slid it all back together bolted it back up and voila, DONE!
It's not a bunch louder, pretty close to the same really but now when it hits about 4500 rpm and above, it gets a great midrange rip, the rasp is there but it's not obscene.
I'll see if I can find a before picture and I know I can get an after pic
