very nice!!
Do u have a tune to go along with that, any loss of power, I always heard that no back pressure with straight pipes on the vrod makes u lose some power and maybe even damage.
i had a harley mechanic take the baffles out and then he test road it and he says that he was looking for any lag during accelleration and he didn't find any at all. he said i should be good. the bike still runs great for me and i'm loving the sound. especially at idle! i'd say give it a try. if you don't like it then just put the baffles back in. they were simple to take off. slid right off! Let me me know!
YES to the 1 bolt 1 nut to remove the baffles. NO to drilling out the rivets. mine just slid right out without any hammering or anything. just used my fingers to grab on the bar on the baffle and pulled. slid right out with a lil twisting. good luck!
Fast, that is a beaut! Does it get too hot? I have the same pipe, but have heard a few people on here say it will burn your engine or it gets hot enough to burn your jeans. Sell it or spend the $1200 to install/tune/filter/map/dyno it?
Believe me when I tell you to drill those rivets theyll slide out like butter, the rivets are long that todd at tab performance puts in therefore the insulation on the baffles hang up, all ur doing is damaging them by all that twisting and yanking. Get yourself some rivets and a rivet gun and you can can snap new rivets in when your done. Ive done this three times with no problems when I switched from 2" baffles to 2 1/2" so bottom linei just tried however it wont slide out even with a bit of twisting and yanking...
Maybe I need to drill out the rivets
I ran the 2's for a couple mins before I realized I wanted louder, the 2.5.s are definately louder but the 2's have a slightly deeper tone. Not enough tone difference to make me switch back though. Ill take the 2.5's any day. Todd at tab performance stopped making them with the 2.5's because people were complaining they were too loud. Wah wah wah!!!!! Hope this helps .
they are standard...
