#437393 bigflip (User) Don't bro me if you don't know me..... Gold Boarder Posts: 701 Cutting baffles 6 Years, 3 Months ago   Been kinda bored the past couple of nights, so I decided to pull the baffles on my Freedom duals. I wanted to see for myself how it'd sound! It sounds "wicked nasty!" as in bad a$$ for you older gents! I think I woke up half my neighborhood this morn when I rode to work at 6am & I was barely putting along! According to the seat dyno, it feels that I lost a little bottom end torque. I was wondering if I cut the baffles in half...so they'd be 8" in length as opposed to 15"...if that would help restore some of that lost bottom end. Would I have to tweak the PMS a bit too? Any input would help! I know Curt & some of you other members have some info on this! I've attached a photo of the baffle as well. Thanks, Chris   Logged     http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=QQEqMypDEas   The administrator has disabled public write access. #437403 smokescreens (User) lifes better riding twins Platinum Boarder Posts: 17430 Re:Cutting baffles 6 Years, 3 Months ago   I pulled mine out for a short ride and lost alot of my "get up and go" I think if you cut them back some you may just need a tweak on the screw.   Logged       The administrator has disabled public write access. #437405 theGRINDER (User) NO REGRETS! Platinum Boarder Posts: 2837 Re:Cutting baffles 6 Years, 3 Months ago   I did just that with my V&H baffles... but, I went a step further to help flow... I welded a small thin walled pipe in the middle to add structure and help with flow. It fit perfectly to the ID of the baffle... a few tach welds and she was done... sounds awesome and I didnt loose any performance...   Logged     http://api.viglink.com/api/click?format=go&key=9b4efad421c8b103b2c94b796db973b0&loc=http%3A%2F% 2Froadstarclinic.com%2Fcomponent%2Foption%2Ccom_primezilla%2Fpage%2Cread%2Fbox%2Cin%2Fmsgid%2C83871% 2FItemid%2C194%2F&subId=fd9e9391f99c39645438a8d5406628dd&v=1&libid=1351562468615&out=http%3A%2F% 2Fi1144.photobucket.com%2Falbum   The administrator has disabled public write access. #437425 Kaidallac (Moderator) The Wind is the Spirit...

Moderator Posts: 22378 Re:Cutting baffles 6 Years, 3 Months ago   You can make your own Monster baffles. Go to the auto parts store and buy 4 tail pipe reducers that got from the diameter of your baffle ends (like 1 3/4" down to a smaller diameter (like 1 1/2" and weld the small ends together. Drill a hole in the 1/3 portion of them weld a metal rod with a washer welded on the end and you have your monster baffles for about $12.   Logged       The administrator has disabled public write access. #437456 bigflip (User) Don't bro me if you don't know me.....

I also found a site which explains a few things about the angle the washer placement. Very interesting stuff! http://www.nightrider.com/biketech/exhaust.htm   Logged     http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=QQEqMypDEas   The administrator has disabled public write access. #437461 Tug (User) RIDE FREE.

Platinum Boarder Posts: 2837 Re:Cutting baffles 6 Years, 3 Months ago   Nice link! and the piece of pipe I welded in is not that long... I think I made it 3" long... still being able to let the baffle do what it is suppose to with the louvers punched in the sides... I like the idea of the tunable baffle too... think I may try that out as well...   Logged     http://api.viglink.com/api/click?format=go&key=9b4efad421c8b103b2c94b796db973b0&loc=http%3A%2F% 2Froadstarclinic.com%2Fcomponent%2Foption%2Ccom_primezilla%2Fpage%2Cread%2Fbox%2Cin%2Fmsgid%2C83871% 2FItemid%2C194%2F&subId=fd9e9391f99c39645438a8d5406628dd&v=1&libid=1351562468615&out=http%3A%2F% 2Fi1144.photobucket.com%2Falbum   The administrator has disabled public write access. #437587 *4life (User) Senior Boarder Posts: 287 Re:Cutting baffles 6 Years, 3 Months ago   i cut my vh longshot baffles to 4" total removing 12" of the baffle my personal opinion is that this is the perfect tone and torque range for me extremely loud while riding and fairly loud at idle, plus its a rocket at the twist of the wrist my set up is Stock box with kn filter PMS 3 turns Jetting 167.5 with clip on 4th slot Baffles 4" long Ais removed i get 38mpg around town and 44mpg on highway   Logged     The administrator has disabled public write access.
