Vtx 1300 mtr trike muffler prblm

Got an 06 1300C mtr trike, came w/samson straight pipes. that's what they put on at factory I guess. wife hates noise(her trike). I'm putting a car muffler under it, using 2into 1 pipe as connector. anybody else done something similar. 2 into 1 into car muffler shouldn't give too much back pressure don't think. adapter should be only question point.???

I did this very successfully on my Wife's Honda 750 Aero Trike....actually ran better. I see no reason why the 1300 would be any different.....ThumbUp
 
therein lies the problem-wife previously had 750 Aero motortrike, which still used factory muffler, which was a 2-1 system. damn thing ran like sewing machine. It could sneak up on you when running. then she gets bigger one and boom, now I gotta silence it.
 
as stated in your other post several have used Harley touring mufflers very sweet sound.
 
well, so far so good. removed samson's, made 2into 1 adapter and installed short(22") auto muffler and tailpipe on trike. I haven't noticed any prblms yet, bike runs very quiet and seems to run just as strong as before. Wife is happy-(her trike). whole package cost under $80, not counting my labor of course-that's always free. this seems to be something mtr trike should have considered in first place. note-samsons now for sale, ride safe-tipper
