Duals are probably the nicest look, and most pipes 2-2 like longshots and 10 others that look similar to them can be loud with and without baffles. You need to decide what look you prefer #1, than how much tweak time you want to be doing, shorter pipes and no baffles tend to drop back pressure and become a little more finicky to tune as you loose some low end torque.#2, but thats what the clutch is for, I like my Powershots, and my brother has the Longshots his bike is a little louder.. haven't taken the baffles out drive too much and would be deaf in no time.. good luck picking, lots of pics on this forum to choose from..   Logged     Paul K&N, V&HPowershots   The administrator has disabled public write access. #87818 cartersta (User) winter antifreeze, send jack daniels Gold Boarder Posts: 793 Re:loud pipes 2 Months, 4 Weeks ago   v&h longshots, no baffles, the people you ride with will make you ride in the rear   Logged     chrome, chrome and more chrome, shiney!   The administrator has disabled public write access. #87825 Curt (User) Never to old to ride!

I switched those out with Road House slip ons, nice throaty tone with baffles in, very loud with out baffles, still good tone. I run them with the baffles in and the fiber wrap removed.   Logged       The administrator has disabled public write access. #87894 cman (User) Fresh Boarder Posts: 37 Re:loud pipes 2 Months, 4 Weeks ago   I have the HK 2.75s,baffles have a nice rumble,but seem to have alot of back-pressure,took them out,bike ran better,but now im deaf!!!baffles are back in..... would actually like to see if HK has a half baffle...anybody heard??   Logged     If it aint broke...Tear it apart and find out why!!!   The administrator has disabled public write access. #87914 Blackroadie (User) If it ain't broke, You ain't ridin' hard enuf !

Platinum Boarder Posts: 2630 Re:loud pipes 2 Months, 4 Weeks ago   cman if you get a short 1 3/4 pipe at AutoZone and put it in the rear of the baffle it will give you a very pleasing sound. You can also mod you existing baffles by removing the 2" outer shield of the baffle and weld on a 2 1/2" pipe from AutoZone in place of it. While you have the outer shield off cut off the front half of the perforated pipe (one that goes on the head pipe) but the reducer portion to weld back on or buy a same size reducer (2 3/8"OD to 1 3/4"ID)to put in the new outer pipe. Wrap the back portion that is left inside the baffle with sound deading material and leave the inside perforated pipe end open. Click on my little world and go to my picture site to see the ones I made for my 2 3/4 HK's. If ya don't want to do that I can always sell ya mine.   Logged     Black Ice is Shinny, Black Ice is Deadly, Ya Wanna Ride My BlackIce?   The administrator has disabled public write access. #87917 Blackroadie (User) If it ain't broke, You ain't ridin' hard enuf ! Platinum Boarder Posts: 1607 Re:loud pipes 2 Months, 4 Weeks ago   Curt...what do you mean by putting the pipe inside the baffle? In the front, so the screw keeps it from coming out?   Logged     04 Midnite Silverado   The administrator has disabled public write access. #87924 Curt (User) Never to old to ride! Platinum Boarder Posts: 2630 Re:loud pipes 2 Months, 4 Weeks ago   Yes take the baffle to the auto store and get a short (1 3/4"OD) pipe about three inches long to fit just inside the rear of the baffle. It should be long enough to end flush with the billet end caps. Drill two holes for sheet metal screws like is shown on mine 180 degrees apart and put screws in to hold it in. The reason they sound so harsh is the large opening in the pipe just after the baffle.   Logged     Black Ice is Shinny, Black Ice is Deadly, Ya Wanna Ride My BlackIce?   The administrator has disabled public write access.
