You guys prbly think Im crazy for wanting quiet pipes. What can I say...
Well, since I didn't make a deal on getting myself a set of stockers, I decided to quiet down my D&Ds... yeah I know, I ruined a perfectly good set of pipes.
Actually the modification can be reversed if I ever decide to do so. But I doubt I ever will because I really like how it turned out. Now they sound just like the bonnevilles I used to own.
Anyway, if anyone is interested, here is a rough diagram of how I did it...
What the picture doesn't show is exactly where I put the "restrictions" (2 freeze plugs and a large washer) in relation to the perforations (or louvers) in the baffle. Basically, they are evenly spaced dividing the perforated section into 1/4s.
There is no packing so the outside chamber is hollow. This allows the exhaust to flow back and forth through the louvers.
I think it sounds great... and it runs just as strong as it did before the mod.
