Another exhaust question.

[_Deano]

Awesome!
Will have a go at the drilling tonight and let you all know.

Cheers again

I didnt even do the twhacking bit, I drilled out the full ring when it was on the bike then rode it for 6 months and the vibration then broke the remaining weld on the unsupported inner tube and they came out on their own

[cheekykev]

When I did mine years ago I used a hole cutter, can't remember the size but it was just slightly smaller than the outlet spout, that way you don't have to drill a load of holes plus you get a nice clean cut and don't have to spend loads of time cleaning the edges up you still have to fight like hell to get the baffle out though

[_Deano]

I drilled four holes, each about 8mm in size.
It does sound a lot better than before, as in i can actully hear it now, but it's more of a putt putt putt sound, rather than a smooth deep grumble.

Ultimately i am after something that sounds like this:



It would seem that Devil exhaust are like hens teeth though and very hard to obtain.

all this talk of baffles is making me ill lol.. we have government testing stations here for mot and it tight going. i brought mine up with a set of quills and they are shall we say very musical. the tester just said to me glad it sounds like a proper bike

very nice but a bit quiet!!!

[_Deano]

I guess i'm after that low bassy sound that vibrates through you, from the thumping V-Twins, rather than all out volume. And i can only assume that i won't get that unless i swap the end cans over.

[AMCQ46]

Deano,
the full baffle removal from stock cans makes that kind of noise............the only reason I changed to race cans was the weight benefit,

[_Deano]

Just had a look on YouTube for VTRs and bafflectomy.
I'm impressed with the grumble, and this is what i'm after

But then i found this, and this is similar to what my bike sounds like now, clackety and more of a phfft, than a bassy grumble - what's the difference?

Microphones!!! Don't rely on video's for sound comparison/examples. You need to hear them in the flesh for anything accurate.

But the first link is more true to sound, rather than the second one?
