Sawicki Speed Muffler DEI pipe wrap install
Follow as we take our Dyna into 2-into-1 territory.
Ed Subias
- We took our bike over to Scotty’s Speed Metal & Fabrication in Huntington Beach, California, where Scotty immediately removed the Lowrider’s stock exhaust muffler.
Ed Subias
- Scotty then removed the heat shields and head pipes from the bike.
Ed Subias
- To make the wrapping of the pipe as easy as possible, Scotty carefully clamped the stock head pipes into a vise.
Ed Subias
- Starting with the front head pipe, Scotty and son wrapped the header from the bottom up with the DEI exhaust wrap overlapping it by about half of an inch.
Ed Subias
- At the top and bottom of the insulating wrap, Scotty used a pair of DEI stainless straps to hold it all in place.
Ed Subias
- They then wrapped the rear header pipe in the same fashion.
Ed Subias
- As you can see, the two head pipes are wrapped and ready for more DEI goodness.
Ed Subias
- At this time Scotty then put the oxygen sensors back into the stock exhaust headers.
Ed Subias
- Scotty and son then loosely installed the Sawicki Speed Shop muffler onto the pipe, checked for clearance, and wrapped the rest of the bare pipe with the DEI exhaust wrap.
Ed Subias
- With the pipe all wrapped and ready to go, Scotty then installed the stock headers and Sawicki Speed Shop muffler back onto our Dyna Lowrider.
Ed Subias
- Scotty then adjusted the Sawicki Speed Shop muffler to line up correctly with the OEM pipe mounts.
Ed Subias
- Once everything checked out to fit correctly Scotty then tightened the exhaust up to factory specs.
Ed Subias
- And here it is: the reworked H-D head pipes with the Sawicki and DEI treatment.
Ed Subias
- Although you can’t hear it in the magazine, trust us when we say this muffler adds both good looks and great sound to the stock Dyna Lowrider pipe.

It’s no secret that Dynas and 2-into-1 exhausts go hand in hand. This is why the new H-D Dyna Lowrider comes with this setup right from the factory. That’s all well and good, but let’s face it: The stock exhaust is pretty clunky looking and leaves the bike without any sort of rumble this 103ci Twin Cam is just dying to blurt out. Well, there is a guy way up in Canada by the name of Tyler Sawicki who has been making some very cool custom exhausts. We also heard that many Dyna guys have been running his full systems for quite some time with much success. Knowing this, we asked him to whip up a Sawicki-style muffler to put on our stock 2-into-1 exhaust headers, and he jumped at the chance. To add to the looks of the Sawicki cone, we also reached out to Design Engineering Inc. (DEI) for some of its titanium-colored pipe wrap to kill some chrome and cool things down a bit. Here’s how the whole thing turned out. Be sure to check our tech page for other ugprades.
