Hi,
I want to go the other way with exhaust pipes for my 1997 Shadow ACE. I want something quiet.
At the moment it has Cobra pipes with welded baffles. A real pain as I cant remove the baffles & replace with quite ones. The bike is really loud.
So if anybody has original pipes for a 1997 Shadow ACE in good nick then maybe we could work something out.
Or maybe there are quiet aftermarket pipes. I've been doing the rounds but getting now luck.
Makes me wonder what happens if you need a replacement exhaust.

Hay Freddy, the guy that debaffled my exhaust actually makes caps to go over the end of the exhaust to quiet them down, I'm not exactly sure if there are any side effects but they work and it's a very cheap alternative. See if anyone else has heard of this being down, Actually PM RAY to see whats his thoughts on MEERKAT MUFFLERS..

Mate down in Sydney there are some real muppets in the muffler business. I rode to a heap of places today and its just hopeless.

I actually found a set of pipes at a wrecker the only issue is that there is some confusion as to whether it will fit the bike. I dont have the original pipes so I dont have any markings. The wrecker has only the following markings on the pipes: HM MBA E1. There seems to be confusion as to whether it needs to have MBA 650 or 671. Sounds confusing I know but I am spending every waking hour scrolling through Google

Hey ACE your're a good man, thanks for the reply.
So the other markings.... E13 in a box and under that 0061 are stamped on the exhaust yeah ?
And you have the 750 ACE ?
I will check with this parts guy about these markings that you kindly gave.
Honestly I might be making a big deal here its just I dont want to get the things shipped here only to find for some little thing they are not compatible.
Will keep you posted (keep boring you with this stuff).
Cheers
