Title: Stock Sportster Muffler? Post by HotCarl on 05/20/06 at 16:16:19 Are the stock sporty muffs supposed to have a baffle? I purchased a couple used (they came as a set) and they are completely hollow. I just finished putting one on my bike and it is LOUD AS SH*T! Way louder than any stock sportster I've heard. What gives? I sounds better than the muffler that came on the S40 but my neighbors are pissed. I kinds bugs me too. Maybe I'm a puss, but it is darn loud, especially riding around in the city. I might have to pony up for a SuperTrapp, cuz I heard they aren't too loud, and you can adjust it to your liking. Any thoughts?

It may have had a bolt in baffle that vibrated out but if it's stock that's unlikey. Someone probably cut them out. The Supertrapp has a nice sound. It's louder than stock but not obnoxious. Yes you can reduce the number of disks to make it quieter, but this will reduce performance too. I'm running the stock # of disks in mine - 7 I think.

They have one designed for the Savage. I ordered mine through the local dealer. http://www.supertrapp.com/product_sections/detail.asp?CatID=14&ItemID=728-50650

The muffler I bought is a Harley tagged sportster/softtail slip on slash cut muffler. It has one removeable baffle. I installed it today. My wife asked me to not warm up my bike in the morning. But I think its sounds excellent so I'm going to do it anyway. I figure they won't notice with closed windows and the A/C blowing. 6am be da*mned.

Post by DaddySauce on 06/16/06 at 11:40:28 I have the stock sportster muffler off a 1300 and sounds great.   I had purchased a pair off this guy for real cheap so I poked a somewhat-symetrical hole into the baffle of one of them and ran that.   Sounds WAY better!  To do that I used a pretty beefy screwdriver and hammered away till it decided to go through.   It's not loud enough to piss too many people off, but it gets the looks... 8)
