Hi all!
My Jackpot slash cut 3.5" was installed on 07/10, and I have been really like the sound from the begining.
After 9000 mile trip, there is no more rumble sound during accelerating. In the matter of fact, the sound is even quieter than the stock pipes.
Does any one have any experience as I do?
Just curious! I am still like Fuelmoto service very much tho.
Thanks for any info.

Mine actually seemed to get louder over time. So much so, I had to put the stock pipes back on because the wife likes it quieter.

That's odd!
Mine, originally is loud enough during the acceleration, and I really like it.
I still have a brandnew "quiet baffle" that I have decided to keep, because I may use it when my ears cannot take the loud noise anymore, but not in this case. I am loosing the "noise" to almost nothing.
I guess I have to give Jamie a call for an advice.

Strange. Maybe you are just losing your hearing...lol j/k. I don't have the jackpot, but all other mufflers I have used in the past always got louder after breaking them in. I am sure moto will have the answer for you. Good luck

 

Ironically, you are right! I am loosing my hearing. and you are also right that the pipe should be louder with age, but mine is just few months old and they are loosing their "voice".
I have checked all the bolts and nuts' tightness, and they appear fine to me. This bring up a question.

Should I take the baffle out to have a look? I've never done this before, so I am not sure how easy this task would be.

 

Theres a screw on the underside near the outlet end. Take that out and you should be able to pull the baffle. If you can't, you might need to remove the mufflers and tap them out from the inlet side using a wooden dowel or something that won't damage the mufflers or baffles. I would contact Jamie at FuelMoto. no longer than you've had them. I've been running their Jackpot's almost two years and they do get louder over time. Mine's quieter on my 2010 RK because of the cat in the Head pipe.

 

Thanks much for the tips. I hope I will see an obvious clue after I take the baffle out.

 

Curious, what year is your bike, and does it still have the stock headpipe? Curious if it is a cat model.

 

If they are getting quieter I am thinking that you might be getting carboned up. If thats the case, you need to get that addressed. Too rich can be just as bad and sometimes worse than too lean.

 

Thanks MUCH!
I think that is the 1st clue, and that makes sense.
