    Default Twin Big city baffles in lamonster pipe?

    Has anyone tried this yet? I have the performance pipe with the baffle installed on the stock muffler. Not convinced I like the sound overall. Was thinking of trying to tone it down slightly with an extra baffle and add a little more back pressure. Just curious if anyone has tried this. And had any thoughts on it.

    Thanks. What was the result of two baffles. I emailed sound and performance? Any negative effects?

    If you do that let us know how it works. I'm going deaf with the bypass with exhaust from Pitbull. One baffle didn't help much at all.

    I like the the increased gas mileage but I also like being able to hear.

    I installed a BCT baffle in the Cat delete pipe on my F3T and it did nothing to reduce decibels. The loud roar, especially at highway speed, was more than my wife and I could tolerate. So, I reinstalled the Cat, after first drilling 6 or 7 holes in the honeycomb of the Cat. Now, the sound is still deep, but smooth and mellow.
    However, I am interested in your homemade baffle for the delete pipe - can you give specifics or post pics?

    I have a second BCT baffle on its way from lamonster. I will install and report back with results.

    The holes are 3/8" and the drill bit is about a foot long. If you have seen a cut-away of the converter, the honeycomb baffle is 4-6" deep, if I recall.
    One complaint of the cat, is that it put out a lot of heat. With the drilled out holes, I'm thinking it may run slightly cooler, though hard to tell on a 90-100° day.
    Might be a plus for cold weather riding, however.
    All this is on my F3T. A friend of mine has the cat delete pipe on his RTL and the sound level difference is hardly noticeable.

    I had the same conversation with Jacob and Lamont of Lamonster Garage - if I remember right, they were not convinced two baffles would make an appreciable lowering of noise.
    However, I am interested to learn what your result shows.
    Another possibility - cut out a cross-section of the honeycomb of the cat and stick it down the cat delete pipe??!!

    I'm a little confused by some of the post here, so you installed 2 BCT baffles, if that's the case how did you install them in the cat delete pipe?
    I've got the cat delete and the BCT baffle and could use a little less noise. So where is the second baffle?

    Ok, Why take of the cat if you are not looking for more noise? What is the purpose of the bypass pipe?

    I've been told that by taking out the cat you are removing a lot of heat from under the tryke also.

    I am running the cat delete pipe with the baffle using the stock muffler on my '14 RTL. It has got louder over time. I like it. Still a lot quieter than my Harley running a 2 into 1 header.

    Question Mufflers/cat delete pipes

    A lot of owners don't like the loud exhaust from cat delete and Pitbull or Two Brothers. Has anyone tried a Gpr muffler? They are an Italian made, remove old, install new,street legal swap. I am curious about how loud with cat on. I have a2015 RT S SE6 with several years left on warranty so want to leave cat ON. I can swap mufflers with my disabilities but cant do cat in case trike has to go in for shop work.. I'm used to running straight pipes on my Harleys, but that was before good sound system's and I pods. Like having music when riding so don't want really loudloud pipes.. Thanks all for u'r replies. niterider,

    I just put in the end going into the muffler the baffle that comes with the Lamonster cat delete pipe. I already had the BCT on the back end that was to loud. Now it’s perfect��

    I am running the cat delete with the can opener baffle on front of the pipe and the BCT baffle on the other end.
    I also kept the factory muffler. For me it's not too loud or too raspy sounding.
    I tried the delete pipe with no baffle first and it was Not the sound I was looking for.
