How does the Buell work on the XB pages?
The standard Buell design routes this back into the airbox and back through the engine. As these vapours will not burn, they result in reduced power. This has been proven in the US to be worth 2-4hp! Not a bad result for another potentially very low cost project. The current breathers come up into the airbox base.
What’s the difference between a Buell 9 and 12 silencer?
Standard silencer- The Standard Buell silencers differ between the 9 and 12 models, in that the 12 has an exhaust valve controlled by the ECM, whereas the 9 does not. Modded Standard- A Tubbs Special!
What kind of steel is the XB exhaust silencer made of?
Standard XB exhaust silencers are made from mild steel, and prone to rust, whilst the headers are made from stainless and tend to be long lasting. Many owners choose to replace the standard exhausts with something more free flowing, allowing the engine to breathe better. The choice is then between a slip on silencer or a full system.

What do I need to replace exhaust valve on xB pages?
Replacing the standard exhaust on a 12, will mean that you either leave the redundant exhaust valve inside the airbox, or fit an exhaust valve eliminator to prevent the engine management warning light coming on. An example circuit diagram for an exhaust eliminator is shown below, or buy one from Trojan.
