New pipes! 1 Year, 2 Months ago
|
|
I have the Speedstar Long Drag pipes on my R* now. They look and sound great!
I wimped out and had someone install them. When I fired her up my first thought was "Holy Crap"!
Then rode off grinning.
These pipes seem honkin' loud but I love the deep growl.
I was thinking about making a secondary baffle. Maybe attach it just inside the pipes where end caps would be installed.
That would be actually attached to the heat shield and protruding a bit into the the exhaust pipe.
Is this possible?
Smartpartz makes secondary baffles but they tell me that I must remove the the existing baffles and install the
Smartpartz baffles onto the existing baffles [if I understood them correctly].
What say y'all?
Thanks.  |

I just installed those Speedstar Long Drags on my 09 a few weeks ago... I love that loud and deep rumble they produce... Are you wanting a secondary baffle to quiet them up a bit or are you just trying to change the tone, etc. ??

I have the Smartpartz baffles in mine. You can leave the baffles in you just need to cut the rivet out that holds them in. then slide the smartpartz in and line up with the rivet hole and tighten down with the screw provided.

Yeah, I too like the deep rumble. I would like to quiet them down just enough to stop the occational backfiring when changing gears. I can control it a bit with throttle control. Also, I creep out of my neighborhood aroung 5:30 am and think I can hear one of the neighbor's car alarm chirping at me.

Thanks Greysnake. Would I need to dismount the pipes to do this?

Did you order them from yamaha? I checked their website but could not find them. I was trying to find the price of them.

Have You Removed or Plugged up Your AIS (Air Injection System) to Stop Your Bike from Backfiring???? It's Very Easy |

Had these pipes on my bike before going to duals and absolutely loved them!! Have a great tone and a nice bark when you get on the throttle. None of my riding buddies liked riding behind me! lol
