Drilling Out Stock Exhaust - Videos & Sounds

[kierran87]

Hi all,

I took the dive over the weekend and drilled out the Baffles on my 2004 Yamaha FZ6.

Hi, I have uploaded 3 videos here. Each video noting the different sounds of the exhaust at different stages.

The 1st video is the sound of the Exhaust as standard -

The 2nd video, I have drilled into the baffles with a 12” 10mm Drill Bit, making a small hole in each baffle -

The 3rd video is the sound is the sound after I had made bigger holes with a 12” 22mm Drill Bit. As you can hear, this sounds much louder and better than the stock exhaust. This is a quick way of making your exhaust sound louder, without spending £300 - £400 on a new exhaust.

I drilled with the exhaust still on the bike, and it took around 10-20 minutes. All you’ll need is a powerful drill, a 12” 10mm Masonry Drill Bit & a 12” 22mm Masonry Drill Bit.

As you can see, it is much louder. Not as good as a £200 - £300 exhaust, but it's certainly better than the Stock Exhaust.

Thanks to all on here who have posted their tutorials and help in doing this.

Sounds good, been looking to do this myself, only my cheap drill is pants.

I do need to put up some shelving in my garage and need a decent drill for that so perhaps now I can justify the purchase.
