Danmoto exhaust

[dkramp]

Just installed the buffles, have to admit they have a pretty dumb way in installing them in danmoto (put them in and use a hammer to seal them in place tighter) nevertheless.
Bike is a little quieter while idles and almost the same loud sound when in higher rpms. So far I'm happy with the outcome especially for the price.

dkramp, I might end up getting some Danmotos with baffles for myself. I will be riding around in the city a lot so I thought ordering the baffles might be a good idea. But the way they are inserted sounds pretty dumb.

Have they stayed in the exhausts properly? I'm just afraid that since they're only hammered in, they might come flying out on the road.

A drill and two rivets will fix that.

i wouldnt rivet

weld a small nut to the inside of the db killer after drilling and then bolt in. then when you want to take it out you'll only see the hole on the pipe.

If you want to remove the baffle at a later date, the same drill will take care of the rivet, leaving behind a smaller hole.

If you read the instructions, it clearly says not to install the DB killers on the outlet of the can.  This could be why people are having can failures, as the can isn't able to cope with the pressure of holding the exhaust in when you plug up the outlet to quiet it down.

If you install the DB killer on the can inlet, you won't have to worry about the can rupturing, nor worry about the DB killer falling out.

I actually haven't bought the cans yet. I just came across a video in which the baffle falls out of the danmotos when the guy is demonstrating how good they sound. Thought I'd ask before placing the order.

If they're supposed to go at the inlet to the can, that makes a little more sense. Regardless, if I do put them at the outlet, riveting it isn't a bad idea at all. I think I'm gonna get the carbon ones. Will report back when I get them installed!

Taftonomos, you are right! Just found this picture on a Ninja forum. Gonna order the pipes and the baffles soon now.

Ordered an exhaust from danmoto.
Should be here next week, cleared Canada Customs today.
Can't wait to install them.

good to know but that's a pain in the ass for removing them..

I got my dan moto exhaust and installed it now. Not bad, went pretty well except one exhaust is tight to go into the mid pipe.
Problem I'm having is with the straps, how do they go on and attach to the supplied bracket? They seem short.

[dkramp]

The DB killer is easy to install in the inlet - just need to use a hammer .
As for the straps, they are a pain to deal with, took me a half an hour. They do seem short but eventually with some force fit OK, just need to use something (pliers?) to hold them tight while putting the bolt inside .

Is there a reason they split into a US and International site now? The US site is priced at $265 while the Intl is still $160 

[dkramp]

I'm pretty sure the intl site is 165 plus 150 or so for shipping while US website has the price everything included

Kind of steep for shipping in the conus then. Considering I had front and rear race stands shipped from texas for 40 bucks total. But still can't complain too much for the cheap price.

For those who have this exhaust, how does it compare to a cored stock exhaust? Louder? Deeper?
