Title: New 2018 CVO Road Glide
Post by: gpopvet on September 04, 2017, 12:44:38 PM
Just bought new 2018 CVO Road Glide and thinking about Fullsac, my current bikes have CFR Exhaust and want to change baffles and use fullsac crossover pipe to reuse stock pipes. Which cores should I use 2.25 or 2.5? Anybody using this setup?

2.25 as big as he sells now

With fullsac I would always use the 2.25.  The 2.5 is no longer made.

My built motor King is using 2.25 baffles and that is not holding any power back at all, 138.5 hp and 140 torque.

I will be running a fullsac head pipe, and 2.25 baffles on my 2018 CVO RG.  I just have to order the baffles now.

I had ordered the head pipe for my 17 SESG, however I got it 3 weeks before the 18's were to be released.  So I did not install it, cause I knew if there was a RG I was getting it.

Cant wait to see how the head pipe and baffles wake this bike up.

That was my plan on my 2013 Road King CVO. I had purchased the Fulsac 2.25 baffles. I took off my existing slip on's and after about 8 hours of searching all the major hardware stores to find a bit to use or find someone to cut the existing weld I gave up until the next day. Couldn't find the bit that was heavy duty enough to cut the weld. Finally after being turned down by 3 muffler shops and 3 body shops finally found a muffler shop that was willing to help me. They ground away at the welds and even cutting them away the stock baffle was not moving. That was it. I had put in about 12 hours just trying to get the baffle out of just one of the slip on's. I was leaving the following day for a ride from Nashville to Gatlinburg to go for a 1st time ride with my oldest son for the weekend. I really wanted to have my new exhaust sounding good. I friggin gave up and just went to the local Stealership and paid $200 more than I would have paid on Amazon for some Cobra 4 1/2 Powerflo's with 3" baffles. (Totally my fault for over paying, just sayin).  However, I loved the sound, not real loud but deep. A"nd when you roll on the throttle they definitely get loud enough for you to enjoy.. :-) Moral of the story. Those friggin stock baffles don't come out nearly as easy as all those video's show..  Best of luck.

I have removed factory baffles from CVO mufflers 5 or 6 times now.  I use a dermal tool to cut the welds out.  Takes about 3 hours from start to finish. 

Just got the mufflers on the 18 SERG with the Fullsac 2.25 baffles, mat and screens in.  Sounds much better.  When I get back from work in a few weeks the Heavy breather and the Fullsac M8 head pipe will go on, as will the TTS tuner.
