3 baffels
Hi Dray, I found my combination for sport and quite when needed. Cat delete with a resonator, three in line baffles with an open after market exhaust.. Really nice rumble cackle for deceleration. Pretty quiet down low and not too loud on top.
I rode with some Harley's today and I couldn't here my bike at all.
Hyperone and I have about the same set up. pm either of us if you want the recipe?

This! We have slightly different setups using different mufflers, same mid-pipe and 2 vs 3 baffles. Dennis' setup is more closely aligned to your F3L and with using the Touring version of the Akrapovic I bet you could find nirvana like we did.... WE BOTH LOVE OUR END RESULTS!

A different muffler question... if I may...
I am looking for sewing machine quiet... tired of wearing ear plugs. Trying to decide if I just need a new muffler or if there are quieter options for a 2013 RT limited?
Thanks

and picked up a little backpressure that has improved the power down low. The Harley came off a ultra glide
(I think) was about 32" long and 4" in diameter. I cut the lead in pipe off right down to the muffler body and welded
header pipe on.

Justification for this is that I have complains from my neighborhood and a patrolman
from up the street (not to mention my wife) that although my exhaust may be legal,
it is just a little too loud for my early morning jaunts. So, would a Harleys OEM exhaust
have an engineering difference than a 4, 3 or other 2 cylinder motor with a 1000 to
1700 CC's? The reasoning for this question is that there are a bunch of Harley mufflers
on Craigslist that can be purchased very reasonable so I can play around with the sound.
I am not looking for sewing machine quiet but I need to knock the BARK off what I have
now. I have tried different baffles and they did not make a noticeable difference.
Recommendations would be greatly appreciated. Oh, almost forgot, the s/w is going
to be remapped in a few weeks so whatever I wind up with will need good flow.
The downside of all this is I may be beating a dead horse!
Thanks in advance for your help.

For my 20 cents worth … and only IMO …. If you want a descent 'note' from your Spyder triple I'd look around to see what in YOUR opinion is a good sound 'note' FROM A TRIPLE that is made and produced by other brands …. (not twins, 4's or 6's) …
At least that gives you a suitable starting point … I'd guess … just google up triple motorcycle engine manufacturers or something similar …. Then have a closer look at those same rides with modified silencer / muffler variations on places like YouTube etc …
I gave up long ago trying to get a good (similar) sound out of a motorcycle with a different amount of cylinders to that of my ride (and that goes back at least 35 / 40 years of this stuff) .... Its just not going to happen ..
Don't just take my word for it - take a moment to compare our Spyder family of rides with their 2 and 3 cylinder variants … No way in hell am I ever going to achieve the beautiful sweet note and sound the 2 cylinder Spyder owners do by using their same set ups from my 3 cylinder 2017 F3-T … Your ride needs your fix, not a wannabee off a differently built (cylinders) bike !
I'm sure a little bit of time for research will have you finding something that will have most 'creaming their jeans' as we used to say here …

Quite respectfully asked …" Cat delete with a resonator, three in line baffles with an open after market exhaust.. Really nice rumble cackle for deceleration. Pretty quiet down low and not too loud on top. " … Got to ask how the hell does this poor thing breathe at all with 3 IN LINE BAFFLES and a resonator shoved up into its coit?
