    Before I installed the baffle yes, putting the baffle in that problem went away and the exhaust note got deeper and less obtrusive.

    Does the Bypass tube void the warranty? Does it cut down the heat beneath the driver and passenger?

    I put the by-pass pipe on with the baffle this spring. I have just over 9000 miles on it with the stock muffler. It is definitely louder and getting louder with each long ride. My wife can hear me coming up the street. I don't think the gas mileage has improved. I can say that it sounds great. I really like the deep throaty sound.

    Sorry I got off subject in my earlier post but I loved my Parrot.

    Anyway I have a 1330 with bypass and had a 998 with bypass. I noticed no performance, heat, gas mileage or anything else of significance except a much better sound.


    Both were installed by Len and Lamont.

    Now that's my kind of Parrot! Frisky and meaner than a 'junk yard dog".

    I kind of like threads that do this, it's more like a conversation that occurs when a bunch of friends are standing around in a garage talking. It goes off track sometimes but eventually somebody will rope it and pull it back on track, most of the time without being an a$$ about it.

    There
    have been no reports of any warranty concerns from the bypass pipe properly installed.

    There are NO states that require emissions testing, even visual, on motorcycles at this time. Not even CA does this yet.

    Default Bypass added to 2014 RT-S and...

    It is DEFINATELY lighter but do I notice it? It weighs a bit less than a tank of gas. You will notice it about the same as you notice the weight of an empty tank compared to a full one so, not so much. Power YES. I started pulling a 622 trailer. I do notice a bit more power (mid-upper ranges) BUT, only enough to notice. It's not going to change your life. Sound....it changes the sound of the bike if you do no other mods to the exhaust. Not better. Not worse. Just "different". My wife noticed it was different but has no complaints so....it's not exactly louder except for a narrow RPM range that you don't use for normal cruising. Sometimes pulling a hill in a lower gear with the trailer you can stay in that range for a few moments but, it's not a deal breaker.

    I have a full review on here....SOMEwhere....
    NEVER, look straight up at a bird ....NEVER drink downstream from the herd ....and NEVER, EVER squat....with your spurs on!!!
