I have the 2.0 baffles on the 11.5 SEUC and I like that sound.
If I put the same 2.0's on a bike without a tour pack will the exhaust sound louder as I ride down the road?
How much sound does a tour pack block from the rider?
I'm just trying to decide whether to use the 2.0's or 2.25's on a bike without a tour pack.
Any thoughts?

i installed the FULLSAK HEADERS and the 2.25 baffles on my 2012 SESG, and totally love the sound. everyone i ride with comments on the deepness and throaty sound. not loud just beefy

SBB, I ride a serg 09 and I have no tour pack.Originally used 2.25 baffles from fullsac,liked the sound but at speed a little too loud for me.Went to the 2" baffles and they are better for me. If you are going to get the 2.25 baffles,I have a set less than 200 mi on them.Pm me.Good deal

I like my 2.0's and wonder if the 2.25's will be to loud on a bike with no tour pack.

After all the D&D's? I think the cheese done slid offin yer cracker son.... .......


I went 1.75's....

I went from the 2.0 to the 2.25.  I also removed all the packing in the cans and I think they sound great.  I had the 4" Rineharts on my last bike with thier 2.50 performance baffles, that was loud.  The fullsacs are not as loud, just a deeper tone.  Not sure about your original question if the tourpak muffles the sound?  Not sure how or why it would, and if it did I can't imagine it being significant enough to make a diffference.  If it did, you also need to remember you lose those rear speakers which probably hides the sound more than the tourpack itself?

Rio,

After removing the packing from the cans,  how did the sound change from when the packing was in versus out.  I have the 2.0 " fullsac's in mine and like the sound.  Just curious what the difference is whith the packing removed.

Not a huge difference.  Over time the packing thins out and the insulation or sound barrier it creates goes away.  Thats why exhausts tend to get louder the more miles on the bike.  It made it a little louder, just enough to tell the difference but nothing dramatic.

[Twolanerider]

Chip, not a comparison specific to your exhaust.  Specific to your environmentals though.  I keep the big tour pak on the old Road Glide almost all the time.  It's off maybe 20% of the time.  I don't notice an exhaust note difference with or without the tour pak.  No difference in reverb or reflection that I hear or feel from the driver's saddle. 

Put the trailer behind and it's a whole different story of course.  But no difference because of the tour pak.

Does anyone know the db of the 2.25 cores with packing and with out.

[Cvostu]

I just put the 2" cores on.  Sound great.  Not loud at all.   Very satisfied here

Gat a new SESG coming that you need new exhaust for?? Inquiring Minds!

The Fullsac 2" baffles produce a good deal of lower-frequency sound when you get on it, but are fairly quiet at idle. If you leave the packing in, as I did, it removes most of the high-frequency "ringing"-type tones, leaving only the low frequency tones, which sound really good, and travel further. The 1.75" baffles are quieter, and the 2.25" baffles are louder.

If you have a ringing exhaust that produces a lot of higher-frequency tones, such as pipes without any packing or heaven-forbid unbaffled pipes, a Tour Pak will keep many of the hiogher-frequency sounds from reaching the rider, so you would notice more of a difference with the Tour Pak on. i noticed this on my old Evo FLHTP that had unbaffled fishtails... they were MUCH louder to me with the Tour Pak off than they were with it on. However, the Fullsac baffles with the packing left in the pipes do not produce many higher-frequency tones anyway, so you probably wouldn't notice much difference with or without the Tour Pak on. Without the packing, you might notice more difference in the sound that reaches the rider with the Tour Pak on and off. I think the Fullsac baffles sound better with the packing left in - because they produce a really nice, rumbling low-frequency sound without the higher-frequency ringing or tinniness. You really don't want much high-frequency sound in your exhaust. It doesn't sound very good...

If you've ever been to a parade and heard a marching band a good distance away - you always hear the boom of the bass drums and the sousaphones before you hear the trumpets, etc. This is because higher-frequency sounds are more easily attenuated by obstructions, whereas lower-frequency sounds aren't attenuated as much. It's also why humpback whales can communicate with each other using ultra-low-frequency sounds over many miles of ocean water. Higher-frequency sounds would be very quickly attenuated.

This concludes today's lesson.

Between Don's comments and the Science Dude's explanation I think I know what I plan on doing.
