Title: Exhaust problems
Post by MAYES on 06/04/08 at 18:54:57

Hey everyone, I recently replaced my, very loud straight pipe w/ no baffels, with a Harley Sportster muffler. The problem is, now it seems to quiet. >:( Anybody have any ideas on how I may make it a little louder and deeper without taking out the baffels?

Get long drill and drill up the hole in the end there a plate up there that you drill threw and it opens it up it make it louder and more high end power.

Make it longer for a deeper sound, and you have to get some of the baffle out of the way to make it louder. So shorten the baffle or replace it with a less restrictive one. I got one from jcwhitney and cut and bent the tabs to make it less restrictive.

I'd wait 3 months in case your hearing returns. :P

Hey Mayes, I am an audiologist..will keep a pair of hearing aids handy should you feel the urge.. :D Enjoy your ride and hopefully you'll find a reasonable loudness level bewtween straight pipes and over muffled.

Me too!
But really, parents both are losing their hearing. In part due to taking care of people who couldn't hear well and had the TV so load it impacted their hearing. Both been to the doc to be dewaxed, descaled, meds etc. so take bud.

I did this to my Harley Dyna muffler. I used a 12"long, 5/16" drill bit. While the muffler was on the bike, I placed the drill bit into the output end of the muffler, contacting the baffle. Drill one hole at the 6 o'clock position. Ride the bike. If you want it louder, drill another at the 10'oclock position. Louder still, drill another at the 2 o'clock position. If you change your mind later and want it quieter, use a ratchet with a long extension and a socket to fit a short 3/8" Lag bolt, and screw it in to one of the holes you drilled. I settled on 1 hole in the baffle.
