Re: Suddenly MUCH LOUDER exhaust - whats u Reply #15 - 04/13/10 at 11:08:45 I went to a small local MC shop and we took the pipe off today - it was STRAIGHT - nothing inside! Sheesh, no wonder it was loud! We inserted a new baffle, and surprise, all is well. A good bit quieter and my performance is back - zoom zoom! Thanks for all the advice and help guys!

No, I never did rejet it - not the first time I put a Dyna pipe on, or the second time I put a Dyna pipe on, and not this time with the repair. It's on my 'to-do' list pending one of you guys moving closer for a wrench session.

BTW - that stupid HD Dyna pipe is the SECOND one I put on (brand new), and it only lasted about 1,500 miles before losing the baffle. I figured this is the way HD continues to make $$$ - by producing CRUD and then you have to go buy more or replace it. Angry

Reply #21 - 06/22/10 at 06:13:07 Pretty sure I just blew out my Jardine pipe yesterday. Rode it to work, just fine, got on it after and set off two car alarms. I get some decently loud cracks when I shift now. I really noticed it on the highway when my right ear started ringing...

I have a Screaming Eagle on Betty, the only baffle was a perforated piece of sheet metal diagonal across the exhaust path.

It was too loud for my taste so I fabbed up a baffle and stuck it in the end of the header pipe, that quieted it down quite a bit until it came apart after about a year.
Then I bought a baffle on ebay and got it back down to a reasonable rumble.

What really surprised me was how the baffle looked when I took it out during my winter redo. It was blue and looked like it had been melted with a torch. I have rejetted and am actually a bit on the rich side.
just sayin there is a lot of heat coming down the pipe.
