Help with Exhaust 1978 cb550K
« on: August 13, 2008, 10:51:56 PM »
Just got pulled over from the police for having a loud exhaust. Got a 30 day order to install a "proper exhaust" Now I have an excuse for the wife to spend some money on some pipes. 

Being a Newbie, I just thought I'd ask around to what set up I should get.

I really like the look of a 4-2 system but can't seem to find any online that would fit my bike.  My second choice is the Mac 4-1 or the Marshall Deeptone 4-1. 

Does anyone know if this 4-2 will fit my bike?

Any input, cost effective solutions or set up suggestions from anyone would be great.

Thanks

Here's the set up that the cops didn't like

1978 cb 550k......stock,my first re-build


Loud pipes suck.......

If you buy something.........pay for it !
If you sell something .......ship it !
If you say you are going to do something......do it !
If you have a question about something......ask it !
When the seller answers ........let him know whether you still want it or not !
If you receive something .....let the seller know you got it !
If you get something and are happy/un happy with it .....let the giver/seller know !
If you have any kind of issue,shipping/receiving/quality/price/shipping charges etc !
Communicate

Just tell the cop to suck your left nut and get some ear plugs.   ;D

find a original ststem even if rusty and the mufflers have holes.
grind off the muffler welds.
go to dennis kirk, buy some emgo dunstall replicas $46 each.
mount in place of original mufflers.
you will be able to mount direct with the same brackets.
