Hey fellas,

I may be removing the Thunder Monsters I just installed due to the volume. I would be going back to the stock baffle until I can buy a D&D Fat Cat.

Question: Will the 1/4" hole I drilled in the pipe to mount the baffles (6" in the pipe) cause any problems when I put the stock baffle back in. The hole will be open of course. The guy at Big City Thunder says it won't b/c the hole is too small to make a difference. Just wanted to get your input.

 

No i dont think it will make a difference.I had thunder monsters and replaced them with quiet baffles.

 

The hole won't be a big issue from a noise perspective. I doubt that you'll notice it. If you like, insert a very short bolt into the hole to fill it.

I thought about a bolt, but my stock baffle is right where the hole is so a bolt may not work. Anyway, I'm going to give the TMs a little longer to growon me. I like the sound quality, just the volume may be a little much.

 

KEEP EM LOUD!!!!!!!!

 

Well, I went for a ride this morning. The bike pops like crazy and seems to need a retune. At $125.00 for the retuneI have decided to go back to the stock baffle and save my money for a D&D Fat Cat. Don' t want to spend the extra money and still not be happy with the end result.

 

Come on! You are leaving the "Big City Club" ?????? We are an elite band of brothers that swear to set off every import automobile security system siren we drive by!!!!

 

All I have to say is "Loud Pipes Save Lives" I can say from many experiences driving around NY

 

It's not the sound, after riding it more today, the volume is actually not much louder than the stock baffle. The bike just didn't seem to run as good with the TMs and pops on decel andwhile shifting gears.

 

I tried to tell you not to waste your money.......

Not only do they make your bike sound like a rat bike, they **** people off. As I can read in this thread, most don't seem to care anyway.
