Fitting a 35mm muffler to a 32mm pipe

In a pinch, I've used "duct tape" (not to be confused with cloth-based duck tape) - the adhesive-backed thin aluminum tape used to seal HVAC ducting.

I also have used the aluminum duct tape on some Emgo's I put on a Honda and it worked fine though it did smell for a little awhile until all the adhesive burned off.
Huzo:
For heaven’s sake, just take the damn headers off and get them flared to suit.
Anything else is just a hotch potch heap of junk, no wonder some bikes are rough as guts.

You have obviously missed "the devil is in the detail". I suggest that you look at the standard header pipes on a V50 - they extend far into the silencers. So you want to butcher the standard pipes? Each to their own. :rolleyes:

You should read a thread before you post in it. Here is what I said my first message:

The pipe goes into the muffler about a foot, maintaining the velocity of the escaping gas that much further, and increasing the (quite notable) torque at lower RPM. I am being careful not to change that part of the exhaust as I switch the outer chrome shell. Your suggestion would require cutting off that foot of pipe and so butcher Guzzi's design.
Your angry use of profanity is contrary to the policies of this board and offends me and maybe others. I suggest you think before you rant.
Big shout-out here to DoubleGuzzi for his on-point comment.
