Question about Fullsac TechMat blanket kit
« on: December 04, 2023, 03:34:16 PM »

I have a 2020 CVO Road Glide with a decatted head pipe and 2" Fullsac cores in the stock mufflers. Exhaust tone/volume has always been a low priority for me as I'd rather focus on having a healthy running bike and a good combination of parts. With that said, my exhaust tone is a little snappy/tinny sounding. It doesn't bug me enough to go out and buy new mufflers, plus I love how this setup feels at the throttle. However, I noticed Fullsac makes a TechMat blanket kit. At only $99, this sounds like a good option to mellow out the high end tone.

Can anyone give a before/after comparison of the exhaust tone with the TechMats? I'm wondering if it makes that much of a difference.

Thanks!

I think it does sound better.  It softens it a wee bit. 8 have the same setup but with the blankets.

I appreciate the feedback. Losing some volume for a healthier tone is just fine with me. I've always liked the mellower sounding exhausts anyways.

Mine is a 2020 streetglide.  It sounds good.  It's decent for my neighbors and there is still volume if I roll onto it.

I have done the 2.5 cores and the Tech mat and screens on Every CVO I have had except my 23 as they mufflers were changed.

The tech mat and screens make the exhaust less tinny or raspy.  I think it more changes the tone than making it quieter.  Will still bark when you get on it hard.

Money well spent in my opinion.

I have the Fullsac header and cvo mufflers with the 2” cores on my current 2019 with the 124 engine.
I’ve been using this system on all my bikes over the years.
Low noise level for group riding but only gets a little louder the more you open the throttle.

Never had an issue with fit and finish of the products.

Highly recommended.

BTW, I’ve had 2 different people tune my last 2 bikes and the results were right up with the best.

I have my tec mat kit just sitting on the self I tried it after installing FulSac tips on my 17'.  I was trying to get the most sound out so I removed the mat and then picked up the head pipe (claims 5 horse) from FulSac and have been happy since.  Just pay shipping from SoCal.

I really appreciate that! Unfortunately, I've already ordered directly from Fullsac.

Overall, thanks for the input, folks!

Sure, sent you a reply.

If the other gentleman didn't take these, does your previous offer still stand? Would be more than happy to pay shipping and still compensate you some for the kit.

You send the mufflers to him, he cuts out the baffle and installs his.  The stock baffles are welded all the way around.  Hard for us to get a baffle out with out damaging the muffler.
