Anyone identify this exhaust system? (And how do I quiet it down?)

[Peter Aawen]

How about this look? I found that by bending the mounting rod a bit, I can rotate the muffler to the bottom mounting hole. Makes it look less like a scrambler. I found a baffle that will just slip into the inlet and go most of the way thru the muffler. I have a welder and I am not afraid to use it! What do you guys think? High or low?

I like it high.

Definitely High!

On the other other side of the noise coin, has anyone drilled out/modified the OEM 1330 muffler allowing a little more noise to escape? I did that on a Yamaha 600 mountain max years ago.

How close is it to your brake parts in the low position? There's no heat shield there!

I can get my finger between the plastic brake part and the muffler, so about 1/2". Maybe back to the high position

Most mufflers have a double shield to them that gives you a little heat shield affect. I would stay high myself; I like to stop when I want too much!!!

Baldwin iron works makes a complete exhaust system that looks similar.

Just switch to the F3 muffler.
There's not much in it, just an empty chamber with packing around the perforated pipes.
Without the CAT, it sounds pretty good to me, but not obnoxiously loud.

It looks like the system you have has removed the catalytic converter and is now effectively a straight pipe. I am not surprised it is very loud.

I've kept mine stock and I think my neighbors with their young kids are probably appreciative. I've quit doing loud as I've got older.

If it were mine, I would probably return it to stock and if that is a bit too quiet for you, perhaps use an aftermarket end can. You might also quiet it down quite a bit by using a stock end can on the system you have. You might easily pick up other peoples takeoff parts and experiment a bit.

I've found being quieter flies under the radar and attracts less attention from the rozzers.
