It was a little bit of a wrestling match. I am not here to mislead anyone or make it look like something is super easy when it’s not. Thanks for watching!

Jeff Cunningham We are going on another short trip soon, so I just put my baffle back in, no plug, after about 5,000 miles. I prefer no baffle for the way it sounds, my wife prefers the baffle in, I am just trying to find the best performance.

@@ItsYoursOWNIT OK, excuse me for being a little slow but what is the plug? The baffle is the insert in the front of the pipe. What then is the 'plug'? BTW - I'm not a loud exhaust guy. The Harleys that I ride with make enough noise and so I stay in front of them ('19 rtl).

There is a plug with a set-screw that fits in the end of the baffle so the three different “settings available are 1: no baffle, just a straight pipe. 2: baffle installed. or 3: Baffle with the plug installed in the end of it.

@@ItsYoursOWNIT Thanks, just purchased one from Baldwin IW on Ebay.

CoachBob3, Thank you for the compliment, I am no “expert” though, just a normal guy who likes working on my own stuff. I do like helping others gain the confidence to do some of their own wrenching. My wife needs some credit. If she was nicer to me, I wouldn’t spend nearly as much time in my shop. 😂😂 I may have to delete part of this comment if she sees it though. Thanks for watching

It's Yours. OWN IT that is the greatest response I have ever seen. Read it to my wife at breakfast this morning... we both...”Laughed til it hurt.” 😂😂😂😂🍻

I showed her these comments, she laughed, I laughed, and now I have a cot set up out there. Stand by for more videos. 😂😂 J/K She didn’t laugh. 😬😬

@@ItsYoursOWNIT You are for it now!! Next time you need a lift ,....she will be there for you.😂😂😂

Thank you sir!

Thanks

Thanks Jim!

They definitely make it a cooler ride. That alone is worth the the cost.

It is a tough one.

Gary Keller, hi Gary, flag me down if our paths cross up there, my Spyder is hard to miss. Thanks for watching.

It's Yours. OWN IT I’ll definitely have to keep my eye out for you!

BeanieBoyMoto, I kept the stock muffler and took the baffle out completely. It still is not too loud and I haven’t noticed any mid range lag, but I assume it is because I still have the OEM muffler. I saw those RLS pipes and have wondered how they would sound. I don’t think my lovely passenger would put up with anything louder than I have now though. I did send my ECM to Wick-It performance to get a Stage 1 Monster Fuel Injection flash this winter. I can definitely tell the difference but am a little disappointed that I still can’t pull a wheelie. 😂 J/K I will know for sure if this was all worth it the next time I am going 80mph, riding two up, pulling my trailer uphill and see if I can hold the speed limit. I’ll keep you posted. 🤙

@@ItsYoursOWNIT Yeh that's what I should do ... Get the ECM Flashed! I put the Akrapovic Chrome Straight Shot Silencer on mine ... As the name implies it's Straight through No Baffle! I love your Maintenance vlogs bro ... Keep em comin! 🤘😁👍🙏

Well, I didn’t just do a Cat delete. I also sent my ECM in to Wick-It Performance and got a stage 1 tune done from Monster Fuel Injection this winter. I normally get 34 to 40mpg (40 is rare), and 30 to 38 pulling my trailer. The main reason I did these two things is to get better performance pulling my trailer at interstate speeds. Due to the plague, I haven’t had the opportunity to do this yet to see if it handles 80mph, uphill, into a headwind better than it did. I have only put about 500 miles on so far this spring and have got 32mpg so far not pulling the trailer, but I have been pretty liberal with my right hand 😎. I don’t really care about a drop in fuel mileage if the performance is better when pulling my trailer at high speeds. Time will tell , hopefully we can start traveling and camping sooner than later. Thanks for watching.

I did actually do that this winter! Looking forward to the results.

I run the front tires up on ramps and then use a floor jack right in front of the catalytic converter to lift

No, the bike automatically adjusts to the “new environment”

I am not sure.

@@ItsYoursOWNIT If a magnet sticks to it then you have 400 series. If the magnet does not stick it will be 300 series.

Ok, I checked. The bent or curves have very little magnetism, (maybe from the welding process?), the straight part of the pipe has none.

@@ItsYoursOWNIT Ahhh it is the good stuff. More than likely 304 Stainless.

No I don’t. It is louder but not obnoxious. An aftermarket muffler would be an option if the delete pipe isn’t enough for you. Honestly, I believe the biggest plus with this pipe is how much heat is done away with by getting rid of the cat. That thing was like having a campfire underneath you.

@@ItsYoursOWNITI don't ask because I want a noisier exhaust, but on the contrary, because my old neighbor jumped like a kangaroo over the fence to tell me to play the music slower from a Harman Kardon portable speaker, and at 6.30 in the morning it wouldn't be too pleasant to I wake her up. and in UK noise limit from bikes/trikes is arround 80 db. thanks
