What? WHAT? They are pretty loud eh?
Ed (biker) built him a set of short straight pipes but has no baffles in them. You can hear him start it 6 miles away at his house when he's on his way over here. Ask the guys from the NorEast meet, it got to be pretty funny as you really could hear him miles away. "Here comes Ed!" and about 10 minutes later, there he is! Roaring all the way. Good thing he doesn't have any neighbors.
A word to the wise is not necessary. It is the stupid ones who need the advice.

The funniest part about that was when he would go home at night. You think you hear him fading away, but he was just making a turn or stopping for a light. Then you hear him roar off some more. Crazy.

I yanked the baffles from my Specialty Spares long cannons. PO's the wife and most of my neighbors. My Hot Rod and HD neighbors both gave me a thumbs up. The guy next to me gave me such a withering stare I had to tell him it was only temporary. These little 800cc twins can make some noise!

i'll try to get some pic's on it .when i first did the pipes i did not have the baffles in .man that thing was stupit loud .i ripped around downtown setting off car alarms.i think your better off with whitney baffles .you need a little back presure .plus you can open up the baffle to make it almost a strait shot out.the more you open it up the louder it gets.
