Well after making the video I was able to put another 1500 miles on the modification before putting the bike away. I noticed the bike seemed to get louder over time. Not crazy loud, just a nicer sound over time. My theory is the higher flow of the exhaust loosened the fiberglass packing increasing the flow around the inner long baffle up to the catalytic convertor. She still runs strong and it's what I was looking for without breaking the bank. Thanks for watching!
Hello Paul, I am looking for baffles for my cannon's. Although I enjoy the rumble when I am in town, when touring I prefer a quiet exhaust. Any chance you still have the baffles and if so are you willing to part with them?
I'm sold, instead of paying $1600 for HD set up, I will pay $1400 for TAB's system, which gives the ability right out of the box to remove the baffles, if I decide to. Going with the Zobbie Baffles, whole system. Sounds much better than the HD system, and I do understand why. HD has to stay compliant but I don't. HOOAH!!!
Gut that cat out. there is no need for it. No sensors after it. I just bought a 2021 road glide, and that was the first thing i pulled out. Running stock mufflers, and they sound mean without the cat.
After having done your mod, I guess it’s about a year later….Are you are you still happy with the performance of the bike? Any regrets having done the mod?
I have no regrets with these simple mods. I also drilled a 1/2" hole out the cats on the tailpipes and it got a little louder. It also relieved some of the heat on the right side of the bike. I didn't have to retune it or make any adjustments. Just a nice deeper sound! Thanks for the input!
@@cjg431 1/2 auger bit. Like 18" long, then drilled in the center and bored the hole out with the drill bit. So most of the cats are still in there. The sound improved again. Remember the cayts are in the tail pipes on this Screaming Eagle upgrade.
@@cjg431 please note there are NO after market slip on's for the Screaming Eagle Header's. You'd need to change the headers as well. These headers are 2.25" Normal headers are 1.75" Be careful when buying.
No, never took them out of the tail pipes. I was able to bore them out with a long drill bit. Then they got a little louder too. M-8's don't produce too much sound... I noticed the heat on the right side dropped from the added flow.
I will look on the inside of the tailpipes to look for a part # for you. I made this video to show options for the system I have on my 2017 Road Glide M8 system. Remember these are High Flow Headers too.
Take off the Tailpipes. I bought a 20" long 1/2" auger drill bit. Then I drilled hole on the cats for more sound. It drops the heat level on the right side also! I did one large bored out hole on each side. If to you drill more than the one they'll get louder. Thanks for asking. You'll never get the 103 sound unless you go 2 into 1.
Mike, in the video WAY up front in the pipe is a what looks to be a spiral looking thing. That is the Catalytic Convertor. Sort of looks like a sponge the exhaust flows through. www.bing.com/images/search?view=detailV2&ccid=ro1nmoOy&id=16C7F5AB6234B6514915B1937E54E0B2145072D3&thid=OIP.ro1nmoOyZUWt1xnqd4xV0wHaE7&mediaurl=https%3a%2f%2fcimg4.ibsrv.net%2fgimg%2fwww.hdforums.com-vbulletin%2f589x392%2fscreenshot_2017_07_11_09_29_17_5f7ae4ee5c8ac4de68ed210ea28494282b7f1288.jpg&cdnurl=https%3a%2f%2fth.bing.com%2fth%2fid%2fR.ae8d679a83b26545add719ea778c55d3%3frik%3d03JQFLLgVH6TsQ%26pid%3dImgRaw&exph=392&expw=589&q=harley+davidson+high+flow+exhaust+system&simid=608030574521310786&ck=63893ED1585F17BAF39C4009C0F09F93&selectedIndex=164&FORM=IRPRST Take time to look at this please. Thanks for the comment Mike.
I didn't have to retune it. Yes, it is the Screaming Eagle tuner with the interface. Never had to re adjust it. The Cats are still in the tailpipes thou.
Drill out the 3 rivets. Then the small baffles will pull out. Make sure you have screaming eagle street cannons tail pipes. I did mention it in the video. Good luck with your project!
I did the same thing to mine. Definitely makes it a little more throaty. Thanks for the simple to the point video!

I performed the same surgery to my 21 sport glide. Definitely a deeper rumble. Not much louder, just more throat.
Nice! I agree with that!
Good luck Phillip, ride safe.

Did you lose any low end by removing the baffle?
No, the bike ran the same. The cayt's and the long baffle are still in there

Your "wrench" said you had a catalytic converter, not so, it's just a baffle.......

Thanks for the comment Mike.
Just out of curiosity are you running the screaming eagle tuner and did you have to get it re-tuned
I didn't have to retune it.
Yes, it is the Screaming Eagle tuner with the interface.
Never had to re adjust it.
The Cats are still in the tailpipes thou.
Thanks for the info
@@pauldorchak1168 the cats are not in the tailpipe. It’s in the headpipe.
@@2002roadkingclassic the original headers have the Catalytic Converter in it.
That is correct.
@@2002roadkingclassic not on the high flow exhaust. The cat is in the mufffler.
No big deal. My VTX sounds better stock
So you don't even show how to do it. OK, thats good
