Default 2015 Freewheeler FLRT - baffle removal

Have always found these forums useful. Just picked up this new ride yesterday. For those waiting for better exhaust options, a 2" bore bit is a perfect fit to remove the stock baffle.

You may find that you like the stock exhaust with the baffles removed and W258 Thunder Torques installed. Whopping $25 and will probably give better performance than any aftermarket slip-ons you can buy.

Kevin,
What are w258 thunder torques, and where do they go? Is this one of your products?
Thanks,

Yes, this is one of our products. It is a patent pending insert that is installed in the exhaust, with or without baffles. It reduces engine pumping loss & increase exhaust gas velocity. This results in more power at the rear tire(s).

You can see more details, videos, and dyno charts at this LINK

Kevin,
I'm thinking of using them on a '14 tri with stock mufflers (baffles and cat removed). So these go inside the rear of the muffler and are held in place with a bolt? I can't see them in the video and it's hard to tell in the packaging. I think that on the stock mufflers the baffles are welded in.
Thanks,
Tracy

Hey Tracy,

I'm on the road right now...but it's a pretty easy install. You can email the shop and they can send you the instructions, or give a call and Dawn or Devin can walk you thru it.
