Bonneville America Forums Forums Technical Forums Exhaust Rinehart slip-ons

Steve, tell me more. I like the tone of Rinehart's but they are about a 1/2 a notch louder than I would like. Also felt I lost a bit of low to mid range grunt compared to the Cocktail Shakers & modified TORs I've run previously.
When you remove the tips is there a baffle pipe attached? Or do you have to pull a separate piece out? Was there any baffle wrap already there?

so the tips come off with the three screws. 4mm, i think. there's no wadding in there already. both my baffles came out rather easily. grab them with some vise grips or even regular pliers would probably work.

it sounds like this might be exactly what you're looking for, matty.

edit: Now with 100% more video!

All righty then. I will explore that option. I have packing/wrap left over from the TOR modifications experiments.
The cocktail shakers are still in the oven after I painted them today to match the headers. Had considered going back to them to regain the lost low end grunt, or is it back pressure maybe. They may still be the backup mufflers.

Okay. Had a little bit of cruising time and the difference is when the engine isn't under heavy load. It's not as obnoxious. You know how hours of loud as piss exhaust will make you insane? Seems like you could go significantly farther with the cans packed. And to think I went coast to coast and back with only headers. No idea how I survived that.

I checked mine today. No way to get the baffle/core pipes out, at least not without damaging something else. Did have room to stuff plenty of baffle wrap in there though.
Went on a beer run after the race. Well, a very indirect route for a beer run anyway. Where they were a notch or .75 of a notch LOUD they are now a bit richer sounding & maybe .25 of a notch loud compared to the previous exhaust. I like the sound better now, liked it before but is just a bit better now

Pulled the baffles out of mine today and wrapped with fiberglass. Much better. No longer ear piercing. Very happy with the sound now.

right? especially when the engine isn't under much load, it's much more comfortable. i couldn't be happy with it.

Is anyone intrested in sell there set?

I'm still happy with mine for the most part.
Did add a short baffle to regain a bit back pressure, closer to the exhaust the motor was dyno tuned with. They have weathered a bit with age but was expected, especially as I don't have a garage to park in. Put them on almost 3 years/14,000 miles ago.
