I had to do it,,,,the old hot rodder made me...

went out and removed the baffles from my megaphone pipes on the bagger,, good gowd it sould like a fuel rail.....

a wee bit ( ok a lot) on the loud side,,,but sound so good..

anyone else run a bagger with no baffles....

I am glad that noise ordinace ticket is not a moving violation;;lol


if its too loud, your too old

 

I've been tempted to check the sound of my V & H with the baffles removed but I don't know if it would hurt the bike sice its tuned with the baffles in.

 

Now you have to retune the thing.

 

i got the v & h big shot tru duals
they came with a "barely baffle" andit was too loud, i bought the "ahemm, quiet baffles", but, while i had them out
i had to run it, it was just ignorant loud. just stoopit.

i run with the quiet baffles and its just fine. its loud when i want/need it to be, but purrs while cruising

 

My friend just removed the baffles from his '06 street bob an placed straight black powder coated pipes w/ 45 degree bent, chromed end nostalgic tips. The thing sounds like heaven and accelerates like and elastic band. Just Awesome.

Regards.

 

already tuned ....fattened it up a wee bit more.

it was on the rich side anyway...

 

HUH?? I SAID HUH?

Many years ago my Suzuki TS 125 blew the baffle out the tail pipe while going down the road (yea I know, needed mor maintenace )

My head hurt by the time I got home from the noise.

 

I'm running with the 16 ga SE exhaust which was a little too quiet stock. Removed the stock baffles and installed Thundermonsters. Sound is deep and awesome, and no discernable power loss, although I've been thinking of putting on a DFO or getting it re-tuned as I feel it is running a bit lean (not much though). Going out to Sturgis, so with so many bikes, nobody will hear mine no matter how loud. Safe riding.

Heh my '74 came to me with no baffles and drag pipes. I'm thinkin' bout dropping in some half baffles just to tone her down a hair. My neighbors get a bit pissy when I rap the pipes on the way down the block (warming the bike up) and the noise echos off thier houses.
