Suzuki Blvd C50 Aftermarket Exhaust
Suzuki Blvd C50 Aftermarket Exhaust
I'm looking to replace the stock exhaust on my 2006 Suzuki Blvd C50 with an aftermarket one. I want a deep meaty rumble and similar look to the stock pipes. Does anyone have any experience/opinions on the Blvd C50 exhaust? Thanks for any feedback!

Hey, I've heard that you can drill the baffles out of your stock pipe to get a great sound. Try googling that first and seeing if it's too your liking. Very similar look the the stock 
Also- please don't post the same thing in three different areas.

Hey, from another Ryan and former Volusia owner (01 version of your bike), drilling the baffles does quite a bit. I left mine completely stock but knew a few people who drilled out their pipes. It made quite a difference. Friend of mine has an 04 Volusia, and he's got Cobra drags on it. It literally hurts the ears, so I don't recommend them. Let us know what you do!

My Dad has a VL800 (same bike Wrider was talking about). He has V&H Straightshots on his bike. They sound good without being too loud. He got the bike with those pipes on, so I don't know how much louder they are than stock.
Remember that when you look at drilling out baffles or buying new pipes, you'll need to adjust your carb to compensate.

Thanks for all the replies. I appreciate the information. Sorry for posting this in three different areas, but the first one I posted it in, I never got a response, so I thought that I'd try putting it in a few other places so as to get a response. Now I know which one to post in from now on. 
Thanks again!
Ryan

Thanks again!

Re: Suzuki Blvd C50 Aftermarket Exhaust
I drilled out mine and no other measures were needed. My gas mileage stayed the same, maybe one or two miles difference in a tank.. no backfiring.
runs great and sounds .. nice.. not to loud.. I am still thinking about maybe a set of cobra pipes. only because I like the super loud.. there are videos on Youtube that show how to drill out the baffles.. I used a 3 1/4 for the outer rather than the 3" they suggested.. it fit tighter and jumped around less. took me all of 15 minutes to get them out.. it does sounds better now..
