what exhaust for my FXR4 ?
« Reply #32 on: November 13, 2008, 03:12:57 PM »
I know, I know ............ and I might wish I never asked this, but felt the need to

I want to put a new exhaust on my FXR4 and am not sure what mfg to go with

I currently have the V&H straight shots on there.  I'm sorta tired of the sound, and did get a recommendation from Tim about putting in new baffles.
I might, but the pipes are also a little beat up over the past 8 years.

I think the rear cyl runs rich and the muffler is starting to discolor.  This might also be due to the fact that the muffler clamp had come loose and a small gap opened up between the pipe and the muffler and I didn't notice it for awhile.

On top of that, I dropped a rain cover on the pipes this summer ........ melted black plastic all over the mufflers .... still trying to get it off there.

So........... anyways here's the scoop.

I see a lot of yall running pipes that I can't find where those pipes would fit on my bike.

Take for example, I see a lot of yall mention V&H pro pipe.  I've called V&H, they told me that they no longer make anything that will fit on the FXR4. The staight shots for my bike are no longer in production.

Sooooooooooooooo what say yall

2-1 or 2-2 what mfg

So are we going to do this in this thread or the old one? :-\ ;D

Hmmm.... good question! I expected that mod merge by now! :nixweiss: :nixweiss: :nixweiss:

Didn't look, but I'd bet Gary's offline right now! ;D

Edit: HeHe! He is! Maybe Neal will see it and rescue it. :2vrolijk_21:

Actually, why not add it here, then they can merge them and it'll still be in order. ;)

I've heard that Python's are a Drag Specialties item sold through dealers, and the pipes are actually mfg by V&H

anyone know for sure ?

Yep, they're a DS product. Never before heard that V&H makes em. But it means nothing that I never heard that! ::) :D ;)

Good pipes for an Evo though! :2vrolijk_21:

Could be.  I just surfed the Python website and noticed they advertise a "Quiet Baffle" with a part number of V21869.  That's the part number that V&H uses for their "Quiet Baffle". Same ones I have in my V&H StraightShots.  Coincidence?  Hmmmmmm.

I might just go with the quite baffle in mine, save some money ..... but they're starting to look kinda tired

I'm sure you didn't notice anything change in the power range when you installed those baffles, correct ?

 
Did you get your baffels directly from V&H  ?

what is the website you went to for the Python's ?

I think I ran through my various StraightShots baffle experiments somewhere on the board, but here's the basics.  Khrome Werks HP-Plus baffles take the noise down a notch below the stock V&H cheese grater baffles and give you a touch more throttle response in mid-range RPM's.  V&H Quiet Baffles take the noise down another notch and provide a noticeable increase in bottom end torque.  I kept the Quiet Baffles in mine but occasionally swap back to the Khrome Werks just for kicks.

Actually I got them through ebay.  Several catalogs stock them if you prefer.  Or maybe straight from V&H.

The link I posted above is Python Performance.  You can navigate around to various products from it.  Be aware that they don't seem to stock much if anything for FXR's anymore.  Might have to watch ebay.
