Please Explain Baffles!

[rjsantana20]

OK, ladies and gents, come get me!

I did a R6 header mod with a GYTR exhaust but that damn thing is too loud. I think Jon Kerr did the same, How is it for you?

I love it but when I ride I have ringing in my ears and a headache.

so....

I have used the Search function (for those critics, you know who you are ) but the threads don't really state what they are for or how to install them. (Yes! I am still a noobie)

Please Help!

Thanks All

Mine is very loud. But I ride with ear plugs anyways so it doesn't bother me. I was a little nervous about how much the popo was going to bug me but I haven't had any issues. And I rode with my dad on his Harley yesterday and it's still quieter than that thing. But I have noticed an increase in how much I'm noticed in traffic when I'm commuting. More people move over making room for me when I'm splitting lanes in bumper to bumper traffic. The funniest thing I noticed was my first canyon ride with it, it was odd for me to hear the sound of the bike bouncing off the canyon walls. I'd never heard that before. LOL

As for the baffles, I'll let someone else who knows a bit more than I do go over them.

My design is great just right ! Baffling isn't it ?
Tube with holes in it inserted into the exhaust usually .
Reduce the size of the tip tube diameter and it will quieten it some , so I hear .

Wow! What't that again? Go, Goo Google???

:shakehead:Ha, ha, very funny! I know that I could do that. I was hoping for the support of the forum. :shakehead:

Sorry for the delayed response but I haven't been able to get on the PC for a couple of days.

So I installed the baffle in the exhaust pipe? Is that the correct term, baffle?

Thanks,

Hey RJ, the baffle you're looking for is to address volume and perhaps droning. The basic idea is to cause the right amount of turbulence or resistance to address the problem without adversely affecting performance. The easiest option is at the tailpipe. There are many options but I used the perforated pipe. The following site works for any bike but more noise and custom home tuning are done on twins. Hope this helps.Exhaust Systems

What kind of baffle did you install I have the same set up but have not installed it yet and may want to quiet it down as well.

Look at my exhaust (R6 Marthy Edition) This is one of the reason why I went the Supertrapp way. It give me the option to adjust the back pressure or noise level. And at $100.00 cheaper it was a good for my budget too. The muffler is $149.99 and I also bought the end extension for $16.00 (I didn't like the gap so I weld it on) Summitracing.com was the cheapest place that I found.

I havent bought anything yet. I was reaching out to the forum for guidance.

Thanks Marthy, I will check your thread out.

You'll get used to it. It took me two weeks to get used to my loud exhaust.

Keep reaching out. McLovin (aka Robert) was just being a smartass! LOL Just search around the site and if you can't find what you're looking for, feel free to post up any questions you have.

This is what I was thinking about adding to lessen the sound a bit and still allowing for back pressure.

less restriction

or

more restriction

 

[rjsantana20]

Thanks, I will look into it.
