I just got a hold of a 1973 cl350 that still has the stock exhaust in decent condition. Now I really like the look of the scrambler pipes but I am also a fan of loud pipes. (Not stright pipes though...wayy to loud.) I was wondering what have other people done to their scrabmler pipes to get them to sound better without any loss in performance.

I know some people have chopped the mufflers off and replaced them with some thin shortys but its hard to get any feedback on that setup.

So any advice will help.
 
You can always cut open the muffler and remove some of the baffling....
what year exhaust is it? Does it have 1 square muffler or two rounded ones?
 
Its a 1973 with the two small round ones. I was thinking of doing that too.
I have a tig welder, so i considered cutting both mufflers open "hotdog" style, removing some baffling and then laying down a nice small bead to join them up again. Then maybe a powder coat. I don't know if its worth the trouble especially since there is no feedback as to how they sound with the baffles removed.

Also I know that a decent stock scrambler exhaust from a cl350 is pretty rare and expensive so it would be a shame to just start hacking at it.
 
I cut the mufflers and installed old vw beetle tips, the fit just fine In the ID and give you good backpreassure
 
If you hack and can weld, I say go for it and do a Y pipe 2 into 1 into a reverse cone muffler. Do something outside the norm. On my cl350 I have 2 longer reverse cone mufflers and the sound is aggressive without being overpowering.
 
I actually just got it running and it turns out i love the sound stock. So, for now, Im just going to leave it as is. Thanks everyone for all the replies and suggestions!
 
Most of the time you can just pull the little restrictor cap at the tip of the muffler. That's all I'm gonna do to my CL. If your bike sounds good, someone probably already pulled it.
