| Muffler swap on a CBR954?? Hey everyone, so my CBR954RR has a MIG high-mount exhaust (came with the bike). It sounds great, but the resin on the carbon fiber is starting to come undone. I'm wondering if it's possible to take off the muffler and use the high mount midpipe and attach it to a new muffler. Possibly a hindle, or canister in comparable length and exhaust note.. you think it can be done? | |

 | Re: Muffler swap on a CBR954?? Sure it can. Was there some reason you thought it might be difficult?

| Re: Muffler swap on a CBR954?? not particularly. I like the exhaust but I'm thinking it'd be a hassle to get it all redone, so that's why a new exhaust muffler would be the best way. I'd keep my midpipe, and the only thing to change would be the muffler. Any other pipe manufacturer ideas??? |

| Re: Muffler swap on a CBR954?? Is it a slip-on or bolt-on? If it's a bolt-on any muffler with the same bolt pattern should fit fine. If it's a slip-on you just need to check the new muffler has the same size flange or make a new flange to fit the existing pipe. You could also simply re-skin your existing muffler.

| Re: Muffler swap on a CBR954?? I looked at it last night and it's a two-piece midpipe and muffler setup. The muffler connects to the midpipe via slip on flange. I'd like to keep the pipe but how much do you think it'd cost to re-skin a muffler with carbon fiber? I don't even know anyone who could do that.lol |

| Re: Muffler swap on a CBR954?? It's just a sleeve. Just drill out the rivets, remove the endcap and slide the old sleeve off and a new one on.

| Re: Muffler swap on a CBR954?? If you contact MIG they should be able to send you a new sleeve. Otherwise any other muffler manufacturer should have one that fits.

| Re: Muffler swap on a CBR954?? I believe so, but I look at Devil's exhausts and they seem really similar in pipe length. The only thing that looks different is the muffler bracket. Anyone have opinions on Devil? |
