Thanks for watching
Thanks for this! I was having difficulty getting the baffles out, as I wanted to do the same thing to the same exhaust on my StreetBob 131. I couldn't get it out but your vid showed me exactly what I needed to do. Sounds wicked now, thank you!
My dream garage looks a lot like yours hell yeah man!
Thanks man
Niiiiiice one matey.....greetings from across the pond.
Hell yeah kinfolk what a difference! Sounds bad ass!!!🤙🍻🍻🍻
Thanks man......👍👍👍 don't know why I didn't do it sooner
I had the same sound issue with mine, too quiet but I never had a problem pulling my baffle out, came out easy
Haha... Great man! Got the Bassani RR3 myself, but I´m very happy with how it sounds. Got the big bore kit, that may help ;-) I relly like the lean look on your ride.
Old video but I just put a road rage pipe in my 96" bagger didn't care for the sound with the fiberglass packing so I removed it and put the baffle back in but the problem now is the tapered muffler tip makes it raspy on accel around 4k rpm and on decel like fishtail exhaust sorta. Did you have that issue?
I have a 2021 Sport Glide with Bassani road rage 2 into 1 and the baffle came out fairly easy. I just used vise grips and pulled. I took out the wrap insulation material too. Did not have to disassemble the exhaust. ALSO, NO backfiring, pops or loss of power
Did it get a lot louder without the baffle? Also did it sound any different without the baffle?
@@J_BLAZE415 ABSOLUTELY. Got much louder and sounds great. Low rumbling sound without backfire, etc
@@konagalHI1 thank you fornthr reply. I'm getting ready to remove the wrap around the baffle of my basanni.
@@J_BLAZE415 I removed the wrap and the baffle and the black plastic tip. Sounds great
@@konagalHI1 the whole thing removed, okay got it. I'll remove the the whole thing and try it out. I was hesitant to remove the whole thing because I thought I might completely change the sound of the exhaust and not not sound good. I do want it louder, but I would prefer it still sound good or at least somewhat the same original sound of the basanni, but just louder.
Is the original baffle same of Bassani Quiet Baffle? I bought the same exhaust last summer and I was wondering to change the baffle for the Quiet Baffle from Bassani since where I live, loud pipes are more restricted. But I won't change it if the custom one is already the quiet one.
Thanks
Yhe factory one was to quiet for my taste
Nice! Sounds great!
Thanks man...👍👍👍
how loud is it on long rides? Do you think it would give you a headache? I have a 18 heritage with BRR2, but its sounds a little soft. I like loud, but at the same time when I do 500 miles, I dont want my head to thump. thanks!
What helmet do you have?
@@TrippHPjunkie I have a half helmet that i prefer to wear, but also 3/4 and full. Long trips its the 3/4 for the most part because of teh bluetooth system.
I’m goin to opposite way I have a full length bassani on my road king
I’m puttin the quiet baffle in it for long trips. W a full face it drowns me out and gets annoying after a while
just installed this pipe on my bike & hate the sound of it, I will be doing this soon
Everyone thinks it's hard to remove but all I did was tie a rope to bar welded to baffle and pull. Popped rite out.
Thanks for the comment
Mine should be here this week sometime. I might just remove the packing before putting it on
I just bought mine and did this exact same thing before installing it on the bike 👌🏼. Everything was real easy to take apart since there was no carbon build up yet.
@@whatchumeanwillis9503 awesome mine just finally showed up
@@nickmusgrove6268 dude, exhaust sounds AMAZING! Let me know what you think about it when you have it installed and hear it.
her tripp hope all is well, isn't this supposed to be removable with the packing?
I've the same pipe on my street bob. It's not so loud with the baffle but I don't like the sound without to metallic i don't know if you see what I mean.
So i just removed the fiber around thr baffle, nouw it's perfect 👌
Yes way nicer sound with the baffle packing removed....👍👍👍
Did the deceleration sound sound better with the wrap or with out the wrap. Mines currently as it comes but just not sold on the deceleration sound. Wondering if removing just the wrap will help or hurt the better decel sound I’m looking for
@@acurarl9929 i actually put back the packing. Without you loose bottom end torque. Also I'm now in s&s 106 big bore with s&s 583 cams so it screams like hell.
Just keep the packing man the sound is nice with just a little less louder
After removing the baffle did the sound change at all? I know it became louder, but did it still have the same tone.
Did this to my Bassani RR3 on my 103, and I lost quite a bit of power/torque but I do love the sound. How did your bike respond to the decreased back pressure and do you have any suggestions in how to keep the sound minimize the loss of performance? Cheers bud, love the bike🤘🏼
Only removed the packing around the baffle not the baffle itself
Did you put the baffle back in after removing the rap? Or did you take the hole baffle/rap out completely!?
Just took the wrap off so it wouldnt affect back pressure
@@TrippHPjunkie awesome, thank you buddy!🙌
I have the RR2. Did you put the baffle back in once you removed the all the wrapping out of the exhaust and off of the baffle? Or did you remove the wrapping along with the baffle? I removed the wrapping and the baffle and its really obnoxious.
Just the packing.....👍
@@TrippHPjunkie Thanks for the response. I will put the baffle back in and cancel the packing order from Bassani
Throw a towel around the end of the baffle sit on the ground and place your foot somewhere on the bike and let a rip. Takes 2 mins
So, you put the baffle back in but just without all that wrap? I have that similar exhaust on my 18 Fat Boy 114. It sounds good under load but kinda wimpy at idle and cruise.
Sounds like a good idea.
One more question: you said tune was still good afterward?
Yep just changes back pressure slightly so tune should be good....👍 thanks for the comment
Thanks so much! Really appreciate the response!
I just did the same thing on my 13 breakout! Got a tad bit louder.
Nice
Did you remove everything off the baffle? I'm talking about the fiberglass packing in the muffler and the wrap around the baffle? I took mine off and its waaay too damn loud.
As in the video I took off the outter fiberglass matte......I perfer the sound....but I wear a fullface....but thats the beauty of this mod is reinstall the matte on the outside of the baffle and boom your good....thanks for the comment
Im gonna take the packing out of my RR2 tomorrow. Hoping not to loose any performance or at least be able to use my powervisions auto tune to correct any issues it causes. Good idea? Have you kept the packing out or did u re pack?
Keep the packing out and love it from what Ive been told it only affects sound
Cool, I went to pull the packing out and its was already gone! Previous owner musta pulled it, I bought the pipe used. But a buddy sent me a big city thunder baffle Im gonna chop my current baffle down and ad it. Hoping for louder this bassani is pretty quiet still
@@travismccarty515 How’s the difference with the BCT-baffle?? People say it makes any pipe louder and more ”throaty”, should also add some great backpressure and therefore a noticeable difference in performance.. What’s your thoughts?🤘🏼🤘🏼
Alright I’m going to do this! Thank for the video bud. 👍🏽
Haha no problem man well worth it if you wear a full face in my opion
@@TrippHPjunkie it don’t run right tho right ??
It runs perfectly have no idea what your talking about its just the wrap around the baffle
@@TrippHPjunkie that’s what u took off ? The wrap around the baffle ?? I did too but wasn’t not running good . Was lagging
@@Chepo1500 thats weird yes only did the packing left the baffle in there
Before sounds deeper, After sounds louder.
Nice mod.
Thanks man yea louder was my goal....wanna hear the motor.....if feels like it picked up some horsepower by may be just me
I don't think it will be just you . Now here is the thing. Where do you feel it may have improved? Low end hard take off, or as you wrung the gears out ( in the top end).
Maybe you could have lost a little grunt, but picked up some mid range to top end oomph.. (hp).
I will be interested to see your next video brother.
@@TrippHPjunkie
Thanks man.....yeah definitely mid and high rpms picked up...from what Ive seen so far it looks like rpms rise way quicker.....thanks again motovlog next week
Indeed , more power up top . Nice gain .. hehe. @@TrippHPjunkie
Great video man! Thank you so much! Definitely doing this!
Thanks man
That's got a nice rumble to it. :)
Thanks man its definitely louder...👍👍👍
Hey man,did your end cap come right off or have to hit it with something. Mine only had 800 miles on it and struggling
You may have to twist it a little but yea if you need to use a long screw driver or pry bar from the pipe side and tap it out hopefully that helps....👍👍👍👍
Came out tits and sounds much better!
I have a cobra el Diablo which I guess has no wrap around baffle. A little high pitch and raspy for my liking. You think adding the wrap to the baffle will make it sound like the other 2 into 1s?
The wrap around the baffle is more for control the volume loudness so yea give it a try wrap is pretty cheap considering let me know how it goes
Can’t seem to get the endcap off was yours easy?
Love ur video. I am trying to pull baffles out my basani RR3... man I just having hard time with it.
Thanks bro......take the muffler all the way off and use a pry bar and hammer to beat it out of the end that has the end cap....it will come out if you do that....thanks for the comment
So, I need to beat it out from other side close to collector to end cap?
Yes take the muffler off the pipe and take the end cap off and push it out towards where the end cap mounts.....should be golden after that.....👍👍👍👍👍
@@TrippHPjunkie thank you and keep uploading the videos... good stuff!
@@paulson9616 thanks man new video tomorrow morning.....🤜🤛
So you removed the wrap but reinstalled the baffle?
Yep
I can’t Fricken get the baffle out…any tips on removing the baffle??
I had to smack it with a hammer and a long pry bar....
Hey man I have cobra el diablo and was thinking about doing this. What kinda tuner do you have? You said the tune was fine after this right? I need more loud in my life but not less power 🤙🏼 thanks for the video
Give it a shot ride it after and judge
@@TrippHPjunkie well shit.. I just got my baffles out and there's zero packing in these pipes. Weird
@@mikebronc2902 that sucks you can open up those baffle holes to get it a little louder
@@TrippHPjunkie i was thinking about doing that. You think it'll affect back pressure too much?
It will slightly but as along as you dont change anything else you should be good
Did you also take that stuff off the baffle itself? That weave sheet looking material?
Thats the only thing I removed
@@TrippHPjunkie so it’s all metal in there now? I’m not sure if I was supposed to leave anything on it. I took everything off and now it’s just the baffle in there. Did I do it correctly ? Can you show a video of what it looks like now? Take it out, show us inside and the baffle and put it back on if it’s not too much trouble, would be greatly appreciated.
Question: did you have a good amount of deceleration pop before or unwanted decel noise before and did it help the decel sound after. Love the acceleration sound of it. Just thinking of removing packing to make decel sound better.
Yeah it pops on decal off of full throttle
@@TrippHPjunkie worse then with the packing?
@@acurarl9929 honestly I dont remember its louder for sure
@@TrippHPjunkie k thx
Did you have to get another dyno?
Does yours have a whistle when on throttle? Mine does. Have you found a solution?
No
Did it change the performance any? Or did u have to get it re tuned?
Yes V&H air cleaner V&H tuner
So you just removed the baffle packing and put the baffle back in?
Yep sounds way better
Does the baffle rattle at all? Is your bike still like this? I think I’m about to do it? I didn’t know you could put the baffle back in after taking the packing out
No rattle at all the baffle bolts right in the pipe....👍
@@TrippHPjunkie did you remove the twine as well or just packing on outside??
Just the material baffle stays
gonna do this!!!
Nice.....100% worth it
savage difference ... 420
How do you feel about it after riding without the baffle after a while?
Love it wouldnt have done anything different
This is a stupid question but any performance gains!? I just got mine RG3 it’s been about 800 miles. So far same bottom end as my TH but noticeably down on mids and high end rpms. Love the sound, the looks just hate the performance. I’m might go back to thunderheaders for that
It feels like it picked up some on the high end but nothing else changed....mostly just a sound thing for me.....thank you for the comment.....👍👍👍👍
I really want to do this to my 2016 FXDLS with RRIII, but I am afraid it'll ruin the low end torque, and I'll end up having to buy a new kit for repacking it.. Also don't want it to sound worse. But I want to try!
It sounds way better and exhaust packing is pretty cheap its way worth it in my opion
@@TrippHPjunkie then fk it going to the garage now! lol
Well I did it... And my bike didn't like it. Sounds good but noticeable drop in low end torque, I immediately repacked it with new packing
Weird I did not notice that but also I have a chain kit so thats probably why.....👍
Did you remove the material that lines the outside of the baffle or just the packing?
No
Thanks
Nice . how did it sound under load ? Take Care
Sounds fantastic Motovlog next week thanks for the comment
Did u see any performance difference or drop in mpg? Thanks in advance?
Twist the throttle more yes so seat of the pants yes performance gain but no dyno numbers really just wanted to hear the pipe threw my fullface
@@TrippHPjunkie lol I dont care about gaining just dont want to lose. But definitely way too quite. Just removed packing . Will test out tomorrow. Thanks for responding 🤙
@@jcg5647 let me know how you like it
How much torque did you lose with the baffle removed?
Just removed the baffle packing not the baffle.....didnt notice any change in low end torque....feels like it picked up HP from 3000 and up....thank you for the comment
is that a harbor freight lift
Yep love it
Vice grips mounted to a slide hammer. You're welcome.
Hahaha 👍
Any problems with this exhaust?
Nope I love it....0 issues.....👍
As if my neighbors dont already hate me
Hahaha its not too crazy loud....thanks for the comment....👍👍👍
I could care less if my neighbors like me or not. Loud pipes will save your life
which way do you hit it out or pull it out??
It pulls out when you take the cap off
@@TrippHPjunkie then you took wrapping off and put back in ?
Yep
@@TrippHPjunkie no twine or nothing left on baffle right?
What year bike is this?
09 Dyna Fxd superglide
Did you have it retuned after you took the wrap off?
I did not didnt seem to change the tune at all with just the wrap removed
@@TrippHPjunkie nice I'm debating taking the wrap off mine , spent $400 on dang dyno tune with the bassani exhaust. Don't want to screw up the tune.
Yea its just a noise thing doesn't effect the tune or atleast it didnt in my bike
@@TrippHPjunkie OK cool ! I'm gonna take it out. I want it louder. I would think the actual baffle would be what effects the tune. Atleast I'm hoping!
@@TrippHPjunkie thanks dude!!!
I did this on an old RR and instantly regretted it. Loud with shifty sound and blued. Looked like crap
So what kind of tune are you using?
Vance and hines fuel pack
tripp_hpjunkie ok...thanks. Was just reading hd forum where the tuning guys were saying to get it dyno tuned using the appropriate software. Have you considered that option?
@@dry509 the motor is 100% stock other than air cleaner and pipe kinda a waste of money in my opinion
@@TrippHPjunkie Ok...
@@TrippHPjunkie stock tune? or auto tune?
I removed the packing from the baffle in my road rage 2, honestly didn't notice much difference.
Now when u remove the baffle completely.... huge, especially if u leave the tapered end piece off. On throttle, death defying loud.
Power loss?
Like I've said plenty of times it's just the sound that gets affected the baffle stays in the exhaust
I heard you lose some torque and peak horsepower when removing the baffle.
I did not remove the baffle........just the baffle packing........thanka for the comment....👍👍👍
tripp_hpjunkie oh shoot! My mistake.
@@bobhog3969 no problem at all man 🤜🤛
Why is it so hard to rev up on these sound comps,you don't have a problem when you burn up a 300 dollar tire!😮
carb or efi?
09 FXD efi
Do you scrap the exhaust easily in the turns?
Not really no.....pegs hit first.....✌✌✌✌
Tripp_HPjunkie thanks for the response
@@lochotzki92 no problem 🤜🤛
Way fuckin better
Thanks man....👍👍👍👍
