I just installed a set of Cobra 2 into 1 pipes and found them too loud for my liking. Upon enquiry, was told that Cobra are making alternate baffles for these pipes but will be several weeks away. For me it was a matter of changing the set back out of modifying.

After some sole-searching on why I'd just forked out lots of $$ on new pipes I decided to remove the baffle to see what I could do. I visited a local muffler / exhaust shop and they assisted me with a modification to the baffle. Effectively, the modification resulted in the exhaust flow being directed through a baffle. NOTE: The standard 2 into 1 system design allows the exhaust flow from both headers to pass directly through a very short poor attempt at a baffle.

The overall result of my modification was quite pleasing. It took the edge off the excessive noise blast but maintained a pleasant note.

A word of caution, if anyone is considering fitting the Cobra 2 into 1 system make certain that you find a bike which has already been fitted and listen up close the noise. Some people may be looking for the standard sound but for me I like to enjoy the ride without additional hearing protection and complaints from my neighbours.
