Race Muffler question

[jl551c]

Q. Does anyone know if the Race Muffler will have a dead spot in the RPM range on an XB12 like it does on the XB9?

I'm thinking of swapping the Race Muffler on my XB9R with the Jardine on my XB12Ss before I sell the XB9R.

Not sure of the fitment between the 9 and 12 but I would definently keep the race exhaust if it fits it has the best results on the exhaust shoot out.

oorrrrr i can give you my slightly modified stock exhaust for your race exhaust before you sell it.[up]

What ever you do keep the Race Pipe, you will make more money selling it separate. If you ever decide you can always just buy another Jardine since they are so easy to find.

i agree with xtreme. def keep the race pipe. you can get a new jardine anytime you want.

Sell it and buy two jardines, maybe three

Yea, I'd hate to get rid of the Race Muffler, but I'm not too crazy about the dead spot I experienced while it's been on the XB9. Value aside, the Race Muffler does sound better though and the Jardine is a bit loud. I guess I could just swap them and see if the Race Muffler has a dead spot in the low RPM range on the XB12 like it does on the XB9.

I'm just curious to know if anyone has experienced this dead spot in the low RPM range on an XB12 like it has on the XB9.

Anyone know about the fitment between the 9 and the 12 for a Race Muffler? I thought I read somewhere that they were good for both the 9 and the 12.

looks like no hole in the mid-range on the 12 like on the 9

Thanks Delta One! I think I'll swap out for the Race Muffler.

One more question on the exhaust swap, since I have a Race ECM and K&M air filter I won't have to make any tuning adjustments after changing the Jardine for the Race muffler, right?
