Donnie1 Posted June 5, 2009 Share #1 Posted June 5, 2009 I'm new to the Venture world. Just picked up my 2000 Vivid Red Cocktail Venture on Wed. Was just curious what kinds of pipes people are using? A buddy of mine had a 99 a few yrs back and he had Bub's Big Willy's I believe on his and I loved the sound. I'm not looking for loud and obnoxious. Just something to get noticed.

Hummingbird Posted June 5, 2009 Share #2 Posted June 5, 2009 I put Harley Road King mufflers on my 2007 RSV. Not noisy but just enough rumble to be noticed. Plus the boss doesn't mind them. There are ways to open them up more and you'll find that info here if you search road king mufflers Good Luck with your search. BTW - you'll want to look around this site and gather info - lotta good stuff here Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BTW - you'll want to look around this site and gather info - lotta good stuff here I have similar HD slipons on mine, a nice low rumble (the colder outside the deeper the rumble If you go big pipes, also go big air with K&N air filters for more kick in the pants.. but at the slight price of fuel economy.. you won't be able to go as far as someone with a stock bike.. Keep in mind, for HD pipes or the like, there is a special plate mount you'll need to make it work.. ensure the pipes come with it.. Search around here for those, mine were included with the pipes.

Bummer Posted June 5, 2009 Share #8 Posted June 5, 2009 I have a thing for the Baron's 4-2-4s (without the Jewel tips). I love the look of the four exhaust pipes sticking out the back. I haven't gotten them yet, but hey, those are the pipes I'm lusting for. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Reaney in NH Posted June 5, 2009 Share #9 Posted June 5, 2009 love my bubs... But they get a little annoying after 400 miles in a day. I love the sound... But looking for something quieter for long trips. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I haven't gotten them yet, but hey, those are the pipes I'm lusting for. I have the 4-2-4's on my new-to-me 99. Rode it home from Wichita Kansas, over 800 miles. Did NOT get offensive, but sure sound authoritative! And I also really like the looks of these! Joe Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Do you have to change anything in settings to ride those? Drop me a line.. Cheers Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
KiteSquid Posted June 8, 2009 Share #15 Posted June 8, 2009 I am using Yamaha Factory installed pipes and mufflers. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
footsie Posted June 9, 2009 Share #16 Posted June 9, 2009 If you want good sound without spending a lot of money, take a dremel tool, reach up in the back of your stock mufflers and cut the output tube into all the way around. then shove the tube up in the muffler to the side. Sound good not too loud and best of all you can not tell you did anything to the mufflers. If you want more details e-mail me, will be glad to help.

YamaDuck Posted June 9, 2009 Share #17 Posted June 9, 2009 I have Road King slash cut on my 2000 MM sounds great. Not to loud but louder than stock. Looks great also. The slash angle matches the saddle bag angle. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
