I think I'm ready to make this mod to my "02 GL1800 too👍 Nice job and comparison. Thanks for doing all that for the rest of us!👍

Go for it, I think you'll enjoy the sound. Many thanks to you for watching and commenting!!! 🦾🤘🏻

[@halfbakedDIY]

Sounds great man. I've seen other vids where a guy drilled a bunch of small holes in the back plate, but your sound is far superior with all the plugs out IMO. Well explained, and good job with the editing and mic's. Thank you

[@JSProjectWild]

Can't tell you how much I appreciate your comment!!! I did spend some time on this video. I just checked out your "roof mildew" project video and will be interested in the results. Thanks again!!!

Super Video und absolut preiswerte Top Idee den Sound der Goldwing 1800 SC47 zu verbessern. Beim TÜV macht man einfach die Kappen wieder rein;-)))

Always have loved the goldwings flat 6, but i always thought they lacked character cause they were so quiet. This is an excellent mod, makes the bike sound so much better and less "Sterile"

[@JSProjectWild]

Thanks for that comment Nick! Now add about 40 more horsepower and we'd have something. 😉🦾

[@richthereturnrider6737]

That thing sounds great with all the plugs out. Sound like a GT3 Porsche. Wow

[@JSProjectWild]

Thank you Rich! Looks like you have a great channel and I will be checking it out more in depth later.@@richthereturnrider6737

[@HighOctane-wo6cm]

Glad i found this video , I’ve been trying to fiqure out for long time how to make my Wing sound better . Going to start on converting my 02 Wing tomorrow. Did you do this with muffs attached ?

[@JSProjectWild]

Took them off, very easy to do. Thanks for watching!@@HighOctane-wo6cm

[@tennwingman3350]

I like a little sound on my motorcycles. Not real loud but not Goldwing quiet. Lol. I drilled mine and dont worry about closing it. I love the sound and it was free. If I dont like it I just put a bolt in the hole

[@JSProjectWild]

I'm getting ready to post a review I did on a new windshield for my Wing---comparing it to the original shield which will include sound meter difference. I did the original before the exhaust mod so when the new shield arrived I had to install the exhaust plugs to get an accurate comparison. When I finished I immediately removed the plugs, LOL. Before deciding on plugs I considered the bolt solution but 1 1/8 in bolts is a no go 😁. Thanks much for watching and commenting!!!

[@darrellchrisley7131]

Need to get rid of the catalytic converters ,that really helps the bike a lot. Custom chrome used to sell what they called torque loops that's a simple job to do.

[@JSProjectWild]

I researched those. About $350 for a "claimed" 5 HP increase but I never could find dyno proof of that small amount. Thanks for watching and commenting!

[@RICKJORDAN-wq1qs]

I am impressed; now I need to know about your seat please.

[@JSProjectWild]

Just the stock Honda seat. Tried the Airhawk and Butt Buffer cushions on other bikes and did reviews on my channel. Thanks for watching!!!

[@mikejacks1939]

Thanks for the video and idea. I have been looking for a non expensive way to improve the sound on my 2018 dct. I will certainly have a good look at mine this winter. I am wondering if there might be a way to drill the holes and have a progressive plate that spins to shut off or open the holes in turn. But great idea thanks a lot

[@JSProjectWild]

I also thought about a rotating plate but the end of the muffs on mine are not thick enough to support bolt or screw threads. Thanks for watching and commenting!!!

[@eduardogorrochotegui5181]

I think the 1/2 inche is the best Sound! which sound do you like the most? Does it makes Drone sound with any of the plugs out?

[@JSProjectWild]

I rode most of last summer with ALL plugs out. Not bothered by any droning. Thanks for watching and taking the time to comment!!! 🦾

[@jayfurness6695]

I have a 19 wing The muffler upgrade is 3000$ I think. Crazy My question is . With my softail if I put in or take out baffles, carb needs to be reported. Back pressure. Changing the way the stock mufflers are in a wing? Does that change the way the motor and computer operates? My bike is different than yours but it is the same motor, right? Just wondering

[@JSProjectWild]

3G's=crazy=right! And probably just more noise with little if any HP gain. Many carb. engines are sensitive to backpressure changes but fuel inj. engines less so. Basically same 1800 engine but yours has about 5 more HP, I think. I've had absolutely no issues since muffler mod and BTW I leave plugs out now. I wish everyone would stop buying new wings until Honda upped the HP about 40 more---they could easily do it 😁. Thanks for watching!!!

[@lovetoflylovetofly3843]

Sounds like a Porsche to me, sounds good. You don't think it will get too loud for a long trip?

[@JSProjectWild]

That is why I made it quickly and easily adjustable. If the sound starts to bother me I just reinstall the plugs and go. Thanks for commenting!

[@paulvernon1882]

Nice sound. If you dill out the 2005 would you be drilling where the sealed off ends are?

[@JSProjectWild]

I would be drilling out the exact same place as the ones I did. Only the inserts in the end caps are different. Thanks for watching and commenting Paul!

[@HighOctane-wo6cm]

Is it possible to do that conversion without removing the mufflers .

[@JSProjectWild]

Absolutely, but easier to get the metal filings out if you can turn the muffs upside down.

[@HighOctane-wo6cm]

@@JSProjectWild thanks for responding, will fiqure something out on the metal filings when i get there lol… riding my wing tomorrow , will be almost 60 °here .

[@e.j.c1795]

Excellent video, you did a great job. My question is when cruising at highway speed do you feel a drone feeling?

[@JSProjectWild]

I do not, in fact after initially testing with the caps in and out I have not put them back in. Thanks for watching and commenting, I certainly appreciate it!!!

[@e.j.c1795]

@@JSProjectWild Awesome! I'm gonna try it on my 08, ride safe friend

[@synergy7903]

Hey there! How do you fix the end cap screw that broke off? Rethread the pieces left on the muffler? I broke off two of the six 😬🤪

[@JSProjectWild]

I thought I covered that in the video but maybe I forgot. Anyway, when my muffs arrived two of the six were broke off. I soaked the remaining four in PB Blaster overnight then was able to work them all out the next day. I tried to tap the broken off ones but the nut that was welded on the inside came loose so I just got a larger bolt and threaded it gently into the hole. Two are enough to hold those end caps on. Good luck!

[@scottalan6984]

Sounds awesome but my big question is does it make any more horsepower?

[@JSProjectWild]

I don't think there is anything that increases the HP by much on a Goldwing. If you hear of something, please let us all know. Thanks for commenting!

[@scottalan6984]

Find a shop that does dynos near you and give it a whirl then we will all know the results

[@HighOctane-wo6cm]

@@JSProjectWild Do you think its possible to do that conversion without removing the mufflers ?

[@trucker90815]

why not just buy a f6b

[@JSProjectWild]

OK.

[@flashgordon6238]

F6B uses the same mufflers as the Goldwing, just different tips. The GL,F6B,and F6C exhaust systems are basically the same. The header/cat pipes are all the same part number right up to the mufflers.
