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!  Cool

Thanks for all the advice and help guys!  Smiley

Glad to hear that you're back to normal Skate. Feels good don't it? I'm lost when the bike has problems.

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

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.
