Sometimes I think how that bike doesn't fall backwards with those huge pipes?

It's a sports bike, but I'm sure if a chopper/bobber/cruiser style bike had these exhausts they would sound even the more fearsome!

If I had those, I could do wheelies!

Build a turbine in the exhaust and ride on the rear tire, 60 degrees uptilted

Any lawn equipment shop will carry a briggs muffler, for a 10 to 12 hp one expect about $10 bucks. I think I used a 3/4" gas pipe coupling, same as a water pipe except no plating. Set it in lathe and removed the threads on one end so it would slip over the exhaust pipe right where I cut the OEM muffler off and welded it. Made bracket to support the coupling to bolt to engine where an original bracket was. Screw on the briggs and your done. BBQ paint on it once in a while......it does burn off in time. Muffler can't weigh more than 8 oz. so it is not going to ruin the pipe or crack off due to stress/

You should only add an exhaust pipe if you are a sports biker. Normal people don't need fancy exhaust pipes to drive on city roads. I HATE pipes that increase noise. If you are going to buy one, get one that does not disturb the whole neighborhood when you drive by.
