Someone have the photos of how I put the GSXR muffler in the Ninja 250, I found only the tutorial in this site but the photos has deleted.

Louiz, try doing a search on this forum. Here are two threads I found.

If you need a good laugh today, go to the last couple of pages on this thread and read where they're talking about packing their new GSX-R exhausts with steel wool. Can you believe it? Steel wool!

Did somebody eat a lot of paint chips when they were a kid?

How loud is this modification anyway? From looking at it I'd say there's just not enough volume in that tiny little GSX-R exhaust can for any real noise damping effect.

Do the GSX-Rs they're getting these exhausts from have a catalytic converter on them? If so it's a bit more understandable for the final portion of the GSX-R exhaust to be so small because the original, complete exhaust (with the catalytic converter included) would result in an acceptable noise level.

*EDIT* Okay, I did a little research on my own and came up with the following pictures of a 06'-07' Suzuki GSX-R600 exhaust.





This thing is huge! How could you possibly find room on the EX-250 for this exhaust system? Now, if all you're doing is cutting off this system's cute little final few inches and welding it onto the EX-250's header then you're not really running any sort of muffler at all, are you?

The original GSX-R exhaust system (with it's catalytic converter) is a great example of adhering to sound engineering principles, finding out what will work correctly and then building an asthetically pleasing solution where "form follows function"

The exact opposite of that is this so-called "GSX-R600 muffler conversion" where a tiny bit of the GSX-R's exhaust is welded onto another bike's header. This is definitely an example of "form over function" or "form doesn't follow function"

The short version is: Looks good vs. Looks good and works properly.

I'd assume it's about the sound level of a 2-bros. The gsx-r has a pretty large catalytic converter so the muffler pretty much does nothing.

And since it has a cat, running it on a carbed bike could result in a red hot glowing hunk of metal under the bike, not something that you really want.

And yes I have seen a red hot cat on a van, must not have been running on all cylinders, red hot glowing in the middle of the day and just waiting to catch everything around it on fire. Wonder what happened when the get off the highway???

If the bike is tuned properly the cat should be ok. Especialy considering that 250 cc's worth of exhaust are going through it instead of the usual 600 cc's.

I don't think these guys are keeping the catalytic converter.

I didn't think they were keeping the cat. I was just responding to whether it would glow with the cards on the 250.

Same with the cat the sound is pretty cool. Tnks for the photos but the photos i need are the when and where cut the muffler for instal only the exhaust and where fixate it.
