What year is your C90? I have a 2015 and was thinking about drilling the back of the pipes or removing the baffles. Doesn't appear to have the black box you have.

What would happen if you discarded the collector box & welded caps on the stock pipes where they T over to the collector box?

Thanks Blue, I'm no kid Bro. Upon my second look; what you're saying had already become glaringly obvious. Back when I wrote that; I had just gotten the bike & wrongly assumed that it had some semblance of a traditional motorcycle exhaust system, with exhaust pipe from manifold to tip with baffles. I thought the collector was just an extra place for pressure to escape to, and be muffled. It crossed my mind to do what you're talking about, but it seems like a bad idea to run that very narrow 1.33" OD pipe unrestricted. There will be no back-pressure. I'd love to hear how it turns out if you do it. But I don't think it will sound good, or run good (especially if you have EFI). I thought it may be a better idea to fab some kind of reducer coupling that would step the 1.33" to 1.5" or 1.75". Then you could use any slip on motorcycle muffler. They're a dime a dozen on ebay & craigslist. I've pretty much given up and decided to ride a ridiculously quiet motorcycle. Good luck Blue, keep me posted. Reid

Thanks bro, this sounds good. I drilled 3 holes in the right side, and 2 in the left and it sounds way better. I almost gave up looking for a way until I found this video. I was on the fence also at first. But I'm glad I did it.

Tried it with my 05 c90. Sounds really bad. Sounds just like I've got 5 big exhaust leaks. Pfft pfft pfft. Time to break out the welder. Do not recommend doing this

I optimistically tried this too and you're right it was a bad idea, I thought it was just camera quality in the vid but it sounds the same in real life -- not great lol. I'm experimenting by inserting steel wool (yes I know that sounds like a terrible idea, so was this entire video lol) because I bored a 2 inch hole on left side instead. It actually has muffled the harsh snappy/leaky sound a bit; although I wouldn't say it sounds GOOD lol

I have not noticed any decrease in performance or mileage. If anything, it has a little bit better throttle response.

If you know how to stick well you can just weld the whole shot if you're not happy with the sound but go on stage two always makes better sense

Hi dude I've only put 2x 10mm -3/8 holes in one side and started the bike but seems a bit sluggish . Thought is was even going to cut out.

Do NOT do this! I bought a set of Cobras for 150 bucks that sounds WAY better. If you drill these holes it might make it sound louder It will do NOTHING for performance. The "black box" is a collector, not a muffler. This will make your bike sound like shit and just collect black carbon soot all over the bottom of your bike!

After all these years, would you still recommend someone dio this mod? any unforeseen effects from drilling the holes. I worry about the carbon escaping the collector and turning the parts nearby the holes black.

@@allenjacob9575 nice!! I ended up drilling four holes on the right side of my carbon collector. And it kind of sounds like a little four cylinder car without a muffler. I think I made drill more holes on the other side to see if it evens out the poopies sound

On the fence about trying this. It sound a little too raspy from the video but that may just be because it's being filmed on a cell phone. I was hoping for a throaty sound like the stock but just a little louder.
