Budget Bobber Build #5 | How to Drill the Exhaust Baffles on Virago XV250

In this episode we make the exhaust louder and deeper with the exhaust mod or drilling the rear exhaust baffles on the Yamaha Virago XV250, V-Star or Route 66 250 Budget Bobber Build Project.

You will need to adjust the air fuel to your bike, mine required 1 and a half turns extra out to compensate for the pod filter and drilled exhaust.

Just did this for my little brother who has been wanting a sports exhaust for along time but they are too expensive, thanks man it worked a treat! 👍

[scumize]

Cheers mate, that worked a treat. Picked one up yesterday and couldnt even tell if the thing was still running when i was stopped at the traffic lights haha gotta be the quiest stock bike ive ever owned.

If I drill these holes would I have to rejet or anything? Really new rider with the same bike.

[DFCRsiempre]

Nice sound bro! Whats the spray you use? Paint or lubrification? Thank you

[NeoArch]

Just did mine, definitely sounds a lot deeper and louder, has some clacking sound maybe just because of the amplification, also feels like the acceleration improved, does not feel like the bike is getting chocked as hard. but i do only have a little 125cc cruiser style bike (QJ SRV 125 if you interested ) the only reason i did it is stock was WAY to quiet and i had 3 close call where other drivers just ignored me on the round about or just did not hear me.

My bike has the DB Silencer in the Exhaust, do I drill on the outside or inside the silencer? I would like a louder yet a bit deeper note... thanks

I hope Octane Moto sees this. I’m sure it will remind him of every Friday night at his house!
That’s all do hey?? Sounds so much different, better !! 👍👍

Hello. I have the same bike, top speed is only 90km/h. Why it does not gather high speed? Please, answer. Thanks

[bigkev]

Very nice and cheap too, sounds a lot better..

[paulhendo]

i ripped the whole lot of crap from inside and trimmed the rear plate right out sounds really good now

[lDongle]

I've put 4 in my cbf125 and it's little louder and crackles. But how mKe it louder? More holes?

[JazzCat]

Isn't the top pipe just for show? It connects to the bottom pipe before getting to the exhaust
end.

dB meter apps on your phone are not accurate AT ALL

[Grimmblazee]

u can take the whole baffle out dude like u can have a open end

[jacoblang]

Should of just been a tabb to bend out of the way that restricts the air flow

[MOTOPT]

Now it makes a different noise. A good noise.

[bh]

Wouldn't a 3" hole saw be easier?

[budpierce]

Cut the muffler off. You will be amazed and it sounds alot better without the muffler

[Qualcomm_petro]

Can anyone tell !?
Drilling 2-3 holes along side the baffle tip like this dude did. Will make stock exhaust sound more base or rough, ? I want to try it on 125 cc commuter.
What if one removes baffle completely with ring drill,
What disadvantages does this have.
