I just picked up my new bike - Black/Red. I don;t want to remove the Cats and I like the look of the stock mufflers. Has anyone installed the Fullsac cores but left everything else? I don't want it too loud but louder than stock. Please let me know.

I put the Fullsac 2" cores with the cat still in the pipe. It sounded good but I thought it was a little too quiet. Truthfully I only rode it about 30 miles around town. I pulled the cat out today and it sounds perfect to me

Was it a lot louder with the 2" cores? On my Road King, I left the cats and put on V & H Monster Ovals and I was really happy. It sounded better but didn't piss off the neighbors!

I think you'll be happy with the Fullsac baffles. You can always remove the cat later, if you want to.

Installing the Fullsac baffles will make it sound like a Harley without being obnoxious.

OR, if you don't want to fool with cutting the baffles out of the stock, you could just buy some Rineharts which also have a black end cap and look pretty sweet on the Black Diamond bike IMHO.

stock was super quiet, with the 2" cores only; you could hear the exhaust over the intake noise but could still hear the intake noise a little, with the cat removed you don't hear the intake just a nice deep rumble. I originally thought I would be buying either rineharts or the V&H HO's but I'm pretty happy with the Fullsac's.

Thanks, all.

I agree. I like the appearance of the Rineharts, plus the sound.

How the heck did this end up here.

This was my response to the tire and rim warranty.

Yep....this looks real nice. I would go this way too if i was going to replace the exhaust but with the new noise laws getting ready to kick in over here i will stick with the stock exhaust.

Marine Aviator · « **Reply #13 on:** December 13, 2010, 11:37:42 PM »

Wow, that sucks if your local police thinks these are too loud. Personally, I think these Rineharts are not very loud at all, but enough of a rumble to know it is a Harley. I couldn't take the stock sound for one more day, it was killing me to hear the "tick" of the engine over the bike. There is just inherently something wrong with that.

Good luck.

Mano · « **Reply #14 on:** December 14, 2010, 08:55:06 PM »

We are told that if the bike has the stock exhaust it should pass. The noise level is between 92 and 95 db at idle and while revving a at a certain rpm while they hold a wand about 20 inches, on an angle to your muffler. A fail and they give you a fine and you have to replace your exhaust. It has taking affect in some city's and it's just a matter of time before it's everywhere

Is there a way to remove the Cats from the stock headers? Haven't really investigated. Just through the V&H high outputs and called it good.

Yep, there sure is. I just had my dealer remove the CAT from my 10 SESG stock headers and then had them mounted on my 11 SERGU. (I have V&H Power Duals on the SESG). I wanted to keep the stock header look on my SERGU. I had the Klock Werks Revolver mufflers put on the bike when I bought it and it sounded nice. Had a nice deep, but not obnoxious rumble to it. Now after removing the CAT, the Revolvers are a little bit louder, and I really like the sound of the SERGU now. Definitely not as loud as my SESG with the 4" V&H basics on, but a nice pleasant rumble. Perfect, IMO, for a touring rig.

Great!!! Thanks for the info. You happen to know how they removed them, do you. Was it as simple as a screw or did they have to do some serious work to get them out

I was going to remove my own baffles, but realized after a lot of research what a hassle it was going to be and I would still have a non stepped, non ceramic coated head pipe. (You have to remove it, cut it in half, remove all the cat material, then weld it all back together.) Since I wanted to keep the awesome looking stock mufflers, I was already planning on Fullsac 2.25 baffles and TTS. So I ended up buying Fullsac's X-pipe, $431.00. It uses your stock heat shields and they fit perfect! Steve also emailed me the perfect program for the TTS and my set up (sleeper 1 kit). It was a simple transition, plus if there ANY questions just check with Steve. Hope this helps

Cost me $90 to have my dealer remove the CAT from the stock head pipes. Had them installed and bike dyno'd for about $100 less than what it would have cost me to just buy just the pipes. Very happy with the results.

Cat, not baffles. sorry

Did they cut the pipe and remove all of the cat or drill it thru the pipe?

They cut it open and removed all of the CAT and then welded it back together.

Cool!
Was hoping that's what you did.

All dressed up with no where to go. Just had the Fullsac X-Pipe, 1.75" baffles, and TTS installed on my bike. Sounds great. Now the snow needs melt. Would highly recommend this system to anyone.

rottendude · « **Reply #25 on:** January 22, 2011, 09:42:46 AM »

Hmm. Sounds like a little too much work. I need to keep the stock items for inspection purposes. I guess the question is now, do I get V&H dresser duals headers or V&H power duals headers. Any suggestions. I know both are great products just need some pros and cons. THANKS!

If you're going with V&H, I'd recommend the power duals over the true duals. You'll get better performance out of them. I have the Power Duals on my SESG and really like them.

RedDevil
Your Harley dealer removed the cat material from the head pipe? What about warranty issues with the cat gone, different mufflers and tuners installed. I would think the dealer would use those mods as an excuses to void pretty much any engine/performance issue.
I am waiting for the delivery of an elusive Krypto SG, scanning these boards looking for ideas. The info here is priceless.
