Ok, Im completely "baffled"

[Tron]

Ok,

So my bike is straight piped and way to fucking loud. I work at 7 each morning, and have a family living in my basement. Not to mention the local pigs are bored and like to ticket the loud bikes.

My pipes are 1 3/4" od at the tip, and the wider part is about 8"s long.

So Im looking for some slide in baffles, 1 3/4"s that are at least 8"s long so i get a nice snug fit. I dont want the bike the bike to be whisper quiet like stock, I LOVE the sound of it right now, just want to bring down the decibles.

I have got some stainless scouring pads that I can throw in with the baffles to help as well,

Anyone have any experience with what im talking about? I have a couple links, and want to know any suggestions.

These?

Make some lollipops to go into the ends of your pipes.

I Dont think those would help with the sound very much, more so just backpressure..

Roll it down the block before you fire it up!

these work well and sound great. They just take the hard edge off!

Think there will be a noticeable difference? Ordered anyways... Thanks for the link.

i have the shorter version of what mouser linked to. it only takes the 'snap' or, ear-ringing noise at idle out.

I used to have those and they sounded like shit.

It will take the loudness down a notch, but you will notice the weird sounds those baffles make.

James what do you suggest? What about the low brow ones or similar, with some steel scrubbys behind them?

 

[leggers]

just talking out loud here... what about longer pipes?

 

[Tron]

Nah I like the pipes the way they are..all heat wrapped up and painted pretty. Slidin something in with a single bolt is a hell of a lot less work

This place was recommended on some other site and I saved the bookmark. No first hand experience though:

get he baffles and use them M-F, take them out for weekend cruising.

Make this from EMT, aka thinwall, from Home Depot. It is friction fit, no drilling holes in your pipes. Make longer or shorter as you wish. Add more bolts and nuts as you wish. Wrap steel wool around it before you insert as you wish.
Simple, effective, will improve performance, I've made a lot of these.
