Thanks to Ann and Joe from Squared Away for replacing the Cat with a bypass while doing my laser alignment. She sounds great, rides smooth, and is 20 lbs lighter!

on the weight loss: it looks good on you!

Did you get the baffle?

Did you get the baffle?

No, still using the original muffler.

The baffle goes in the cat bypass. Get rid of the stock exhaust and drop another 20 pounds.

We run the same setup, sounds pretty good, and improved the mpg slightly.

A 20lb egg she laid.... no wonder she sounds so much better and runs so nice...

The baffle goes inside the cat bypass.

Are there any videos available, that show differences before, and after the baffle has been installed?

(With the stock muffler; of course! )

I think this is the Baffle Kngfsh27 was referring to

Here is a thread that has before and after sound bytes

Kngfsh27, What I'm saying is, since I connected the bypass back to the original muffler, there is no need for the baffle (Back Pressure-wise). This according to Joe from Squared Away, who I trust to know what he's talking about.

I thought the baffle was needed to resolve a lack of back-pressure problem with the cat bypass on the F3. I'm not sure why you would want one on an RT. I have the same set-up you do and it works and sounds great with the OEM secondary muffler. Also has more low-end torque.

We do quite a few of these. If you are removing the "cat" with a cat bypass, no baffle is needed, If you are using the stock muffler. Plenty of back pressure, and the sound is nice. If you've removed the stock muffler, and do a bypass, you might need a baffle. Depends on the muffler you install. You really can't remove the cat, remove the muffler, and expect a baffle to do much. Murphy Brown had the exact same setup Pam has, and we rode with her 9000 miles or so to Alaska. It worked perfectly. Never a pop or sputter. It does exactly what Lamont and Len say it will do: run better, sound better, drop weight, lower heat! I can't speak to anyone else's bypass, but these are great! I'm glad you like it, Pam! It was a pleasure to meet you. Joe
