Mods For The Rs

Thanks for sharing.

 

Update: With the bike back from the shop, I was able to get new arrow cans thrown in. So, this time I didn’t drill out the discs, I cut out the baffles. OMG it sounds F&$@ing awesome. Real deep and way louder when on the throttle. I think it’s just perfect this way. I’m also happy to hear the overrun on deceleration now. It pops and burbles constantly. With the only the discs removed it wasn’t very loud and was still kind of tinny sounding. This has really transformed the riding experience for me.

 

Just removed the baffles. I will try to post a sound clip, no guarantee I will be able to figure it out though.

 

Yes it really cleans up the look imo.

 

Yes it was. I did a much easier removal process than most on here. I left the end caps on and used small cutting discs on a dremel to cut the weld off the end of the baffle. I just slide a pice of tin between the baffle and the carbon end cap where I was cutting, as to protect the end cap. I think I used about 12 cutting discs for both mufflers. You could then drill a small hole in the top of the opening for a screw if you want to put them back in, but after you here the bike without baffles, you will never want them back in. I’m considering removing the restrictive disc to open it up a little more. The sound is very deep and does drone a bit on the highway. so ear plugs should be worn for long highway rides, but you should really wear them all the time anyways.

 

Update on the exhaust. I thought I would drill out the discs today to see if it makes any improvements on the exhaust note. Answer, yes and no. With the discs removed it didn’t have any noticeable effect on the deep and throaty sound of the exhaust. People say that’s it’s too loud with discs and baffle removed, BS. There is no audible change that I can detect at all. Now onto what is better. When I removed just the baffles it sounded really good but there was a buzzing sound when riding, and trust me it was not there before removing the baffles. I’m pleased to say the buzzing has completely disappeared after removing the discs. It has some how changed something inside the mufflers that has eliminated that sound. Don’t know if anyone else has the same issue, but if you do then drill out those discs and say goodbye to that annoying buzzing sound.
