Well, I already have a second pair of pipes, so that's that. I would think that the key to making some good sounding pipes would lie mostly within the baffles. I am definitely not looking to get anything too loud, but I do want to hear some rumble. I tried buying some JCW pipes, but they were screaming loud, and not even remotely appropriate for everyday riding (completely deafening). I couldn't find any others that suited the application other than the short cannons or the little slash-cut ones. And, if you look closely at those little slash-cut ones, you will see that they are tapered toward the tips, which makes for a very difficult time for creating and installing custom baffles for containing the harsh sounds straight out of the headers. I think hollowing out those stock Triumph Slash-cut pipes should be a hoot, and could yield a great sound - if done properly.
Where should I put the baffle in the pipe that I create? What I mean by this is should the baffle be in the rearmost part of the silencer, or more toward the header, etc...? Ideas?
