Default modified stock exhaust

Can someone give me a lead to where I can get my stock exhaust baffles modified or where I can purchase stock modified exhaust?

This is going to open up a whole new market for modified stock exhaust systems.

In order to be legal-beagle in some cities (Anaheim, Kali & Denver) and possibility states, the EPA “stamp” marking on the exhaust must match those on the engine to be legal. Your bike doesn’t even have to be running to be cited for modified exhaust [:@]

Any metal stamping experts out there?

mrsr71; I looked at my stock sxhaust and the engine numbers, and they do not match. What engine numbers are you refering too to?

Not engine numbers. There's a sticker on the lower left front frame tube which has a vehicle type code which must match that on the muffler. But having the muffler appropriately stamped in and of itself is not sufficient. The mufflers must also be in stock form. If they're modified in any way the stamp means nothing.

Well it means something if it satisfies the LEO looking to ticket you. That's the point afterall, right?

The EPA wrote a regulation regarding the stamping. Within it mention is made of modifications to the muffler. I'm sure the local authorities merely adopted the regulation as their own; I would if I was going to do something like that. Anyway, if there's obviously been modifications, like one or more holes punched in the baffles, baffles missing entirely, or aftermarket ones installed (especially if they're straight-through baffles, which never come stock on bikes), the presence of the stamp is meaningless. The LEO will know this. It might work if you get one with a good mindset, but then why would they have detained you in the first place?

The best way to avoid such confrontations would be to exercise restraint both in your choice of mufflers and your use of them via the throttle.

Bobvic on Ebay has a variety of them and stands by his work if your not happy. I have B and E superflow 2 inchers and they are the best exhaust I've found short of rineharts and are under 200 a set. Just my opinion.

Will it effect performance if I take out the baffles on a 2001 stock dyna Superglide?
