Looking to change exhaust...

7706 Views 20 Replies 15 Participants Last post by  slidnby
I have had my Stateline for about 6 months and really want to change the exhaust.

Is it possible to use any exhaust from the vt line? including the Fury?

Has anyone had any luck modifying their current exhaust to make it louder? Baffle removal etc...

Thanks,

Travis

All the mounting brackets could be different so depends on how good you are at fabing parts.
I am sure if you look there are some made for your bike.

You also might contact VTX exhaust if you don't mind the looks of the stockers.

check out http://www.cobrausa.com/exhaust_compare.php?model_id=307&make_id=2&model=VT1300CR Stateline&product_type = Motorcycle Exhausts
they make the black and chrome swept exhaust and a straight pipe called speedster slashdown
I bought my Stateline back in May and have 3400 miles on her. I bought the Vance and Hines slip-ons. They're about $300.00 and sound awesome. Easy to put on ,too. West End Motorsports in PA have them as well as Cobra pipes. Check them out here:

have cobra pipes, air intake and I2000r fuel mamnagement system on my Interstate. looks and runs great. Sounds great too.
The guys from VTXexhaust.com do the Fury exhausts (modified OEM), pretty sure the Stateline uses same pipes.

I have black cobra swepts on mine and love them. They were quiet at first so I removed the baffles and now they sound awesome. Need to add an FI tuner to it now though. Its on the list for winter projects. Ive always put cobras on my bikes and have always loved the look and sounds of all.

The VTXexhaust.com guys have a free trial on the modified OEM pipes. Basically you can try the pipes for the cost of the shipping.
Check out the video thread for a video from Cobra demonstrating their slip ons.....sound great! Also it gives a quick snapshot of the light bar, highway bars and seat back rest.
Hey I just ordered mine from www.xchoppers.com they had a good price.

I am sorry and hope you get something decent from that rip off named Grant

I did the pipes came drop shiped from cobra and about $120 bucks cheaper than cobras web site. first time I have delt with them but it was a good experience.
I bought my Stateline and had the Cobra pipes and FI2000R installed before i even picked the bike up from the dealership. I am very impressed with the sound and look and highly recommend that set up. I will soon be adding the Cobra intake as well.
I'm also looking to change out my exhaust but I'm not sure whether or not to put a power comander on or not.. Most of the people I've talked to say that the bike will adjust itself and that it's not necessary. Maybe I'll just change the pipes and if they sound like junk I'll add the Fi200r. Any suggestions on removing the stock baffles?
If you do the VT1300exhaust.com mod you do not need a fuel processor. Bike runs fine on stock computer settings.

I didn't remove the baffles, but I did drill two more holes in the end. I drilled two 1/4" holes in each one of the baffle ends, it's a little louder. I will probably do more drilling or remove the baffles, but I want to ride it a couple times before making more changes and it's been around 40-45 degrees and raining all week.
I have a set of www.vtxexhaust.com www.vt1300.com mufflers being sent to me tomorrow. I will let you all know what I think.
Hey Whynot, Get those pipes from vtxexhaust yet? Just wondered how they sound.

Yeah, I tried them. I really liked the sound, but a tad to loud for my liking and due to not removing the pair valve, I was getting a lot of popping on decel, so I ended up sending it back. They make a good exhaust, I just wasn't ready to remove the pair valve at the time, which I'm sure was the cause of the popping. I have since removed the pair valve from my bike, but have not tried any exhaust yet.
I have the Chrome Cobra Speedster Swept pipes on both my Stateline and Fury, I love the sound and looks.
