I tried taking the bike through inspection today in Delaware, and they said the exhaust is too loud. It is a Vance & Hines exhaust the previous owner installed. Will a re-pack of the exhaust make much sound difference? Or should I just try to find a stock pipe to swap on for inspection?

- They are cheap, and easy to find.
- Swap when needing an inspection.
- Swap if you ever sell the bike and sell the aftermarket can seperately
- Once in a while you might want to go for a long long ride and would prefer to reduce all the noise you can...

Definitely repack even if you end up getting a stock can to get through inspection. I had a V&H StreetComp on a previous bike and it made a huge difference not only in noise level but also carburation. I always knew when it was time to repack because I'd start backfiring every time I chopped the throttle.

i had tha same problem with my rear marker lights, and like 2 other things. they said they were illegal. i just found another shop to take it to, and they passed me.
try taking it to another shop, maybe cheaper than changing stuff on ur bike..<< RIDE IT LIKE YOU STOLE IT !! >>

Lol inspection.
I say buy a stocker AND re pack the V+H. You'll have a pipe for inspection and then you can put the good sounding V+H on when you're done.90% of motorcycle forum members do not have a service manual for their bike.

Maybe they think it means pooOriginally posted by soulless kaosbut personaly I dont see a point in a 1000 you can get the same power from a properly tuned 600 with less weight and better handeling.

That doesn't look too bad. I have a friend who had a bike shop so he has a few old exhausts around. I think I'm going to try to fab one of them up to get through inspection then I will have time to get a cheap stock one for next time.
On the re-pack side. Is there any prefered packing brand? I see a couple out there that range from $8 a pack to $301993 Kat 600 & 1999 Kat 750
