F&R, I sincerely appreciate you doing this video my guy. I wanted to know what that reducer would sound like vs the louvered baffle and I will keep my louvered baffle in. The decel from louvered is a sound that can’t be imitated, I mean I LOVE that sound. Great video and comparison💯🤙🏾💪🏾

Great comparison video! I have the header 2:2 4.5” kit was waiting to be installed with a dyno. Waiting for the louvered baffles to arrive. I have a 2009 FLHTCHSE 4 with a fair amount of engine work done. Have had D&D Fat Cat 2 into 1 for the past 12 years. Looking forward to my new exhaust. Thanks again for your review!

Louvered baffles by themselves sound the best and perform well, too (I had them in my previous bike for a bit). Great video, F&R!

It sounds awesome my man🔥

Thank you Sir! You just helped me make my decision. I just purchased a 24 CVO RG in legendary orange. The bike is stunning, but as you know, it sounds like a sewing machine. Based on your video, I'm going with the louvered baffles and will place my order tomorrow morning. Your CVO looks really sharp. Thanks again.

Cool video bro love the set up 🎉😮

Very nice job on the video !! I just purchased the full system, Outlaw 2 into 1, three step header with the ghost pipe for my RKS (122ci). My header side muffler has a 2.5 inch "high flow absorptive baffle" with a 3 inch reverse cone to maximize torque. It comes that was right out of the box and I anticipate that I'll run it that way without using any of the "inserts" you mention.

First off thanks for taking the time to make the video. Awesome job! I just purchased the 23 cvo road glide and installed the KW mufflers they sound awesome but I do feel a little loss in botton end torque. So am going to order the louvered baffles as you recommend and see if I can get that torque back. Also I just subscribed to your channel. Thanks!

I appreciate you trying the different baffles and options. I have to agree with you 100% that the louvered baffles sound and perform the best.. I have a 117 stage 2 also with the louvered baffles

I just made it, performance baffles plus reduce. The sound was awesome.

F&R i have the louvered baffles in mine i like the sound.

Louvered baffles definitely sound best at least via the video. Im sure in person they sound even better. Ride safe and enjoy. 👍✌️👊

Thanks for the review. I have a 21 RGS, 114, stage 2 (cam very similar to RS468), KW dominator 2-2, Stealth AC and PV with dyno tune. 119/130. I have the tongued Performance baffle. Works very well and makes great TQ and power. I'm happy with the sound and think it's actually loud when on the throttle. I would like to try the louvered just to see how it is. IMO, when you installed the reducer with the louvered inserts you made a performance baffle. The reducer adds back pressure which the M8 needs for full potential. Ultimately, I'm going to switch to a KW 2-1. I'm a 2-1 guy but they were unavailable due to supply when I did my build but for now, the 2-2 works great. I also run the full Wilbers suspension. Installed them Nov of 21. You will love them.

Yes those louvered baffles. They sent me the perforated baffles. I didn’t like the back pressure and it killed the deep rumble

Highway pegs look crooked. Lol Beautiful bike!

Yes that sound,soundes like the bike is growling yeah!

Great info, thanks for sharing. I just purchased the 2023 CVO recently and had the Khrome werks slip-ons installed, bike is stock and they sound great, but i immediately noticed a dip in torque. I ordered the louvered baffles and will install them as soon as i get them, but wondering if I should get the KW performance baffles instead. Its hard finding data about KW and determining what baffle to use, but your video helped a lot. thank you

Thanks for the comparisons. The time you made this video, was your bike stock with exhaust and cam or did you have a new header head pipe and upgraded cam while doing this video

Great video once again my friend! I’m on a similar journey. 2019 Road Glide Special 114 with S&S 475 and KW 2-1-2 Dominator dyno tuned by Trask Performance. I tried the Reducers as well based on John’s video and like you I liked the low RPM improvement but much preferred the deeper sound without baffles. I’m now running DK Customs 158 Thunder Torque Inserts. The low rumble is as good (maybe better) as no baffles but with reversion improvement in the low end. This may be my long term solution 😂 BTW, you need the longer thread bolt option with the Khrome Werks to center the TTI’s.

🤘🏾🤘🏾🤘🏾

I like with baffles

I bought the louvered baffles and personally don’t like the flutter sound on decel I cut them down to be just a reducer and they sound better on decel but still sounds the best without anything in there

Do the tips on your bike have a red stripe? If so did you paint them or did you purchase them? Thank you

Hi fly and ride I have the same exhaust and I have been using the louverd perforated baffle I like it but wanted to add the reducer. When u added the reducer plus louverd baffle did u notice any increase in the torque?

What bag fillet lights and fender extension are you running

Baffles for sure. Bro I’m almost deaf lol

Also wife gave me the go if I wanted to get rid of Harley and go bmw 1250!!

I dunno if it’s your mic or what cause I’ve heard these pipes on several videos yours sounds so tinny sounding

I can’t seem to locate the reducers online where can I find them?

That without the cadillac converter with the cadillac converter

To me they all sounded same. Now, which one in your ears sounds closest to Cyclefanatix's pipe?

Hey F&R have you tried the ripper baffles?

#1- just the reducers sounds very loud. #2- baffles and reducers better

why did you put the reducers on backwards?

Where in jersey are you? I'm in Wayne.

No baffles with inserts.

You can’t hear clearly sounds very muffled sorry

Jeeeeeez all this work to try to win in Laconia, silly Jersey Boy

Terrible sound peaking a lot and gets distorted… Sorry brother but that’s how it sounded. Change settings and redo cause you may have something really good here🙄🫡
