I got my bike back Saturday after having the Cobra intake and new baffles put in. It made a huge difference in midrange power. If you haven't heard of Big City baffles, check them out at www.bigcitythunder.com. I'm not affiliated with them. My best friend turned me onto them after getting a set for his Honda Fury. Now my Cobra exhaust is a little louder but has more deep rumble and the bike is alot faster on take off and when passing.
I also put on the PCS lowering link at the 1inch drop. I was surprised that it doesnt affect the handling at all to me. I may go with the 2.25 drop and see how I like that.

Do you have a part #?

 

[backinblack]

I got the original baffles, part # 2001. This is for the swept cobra exhaust.

I know that videos really don't provide great sound quality, but I would be interested in hearing your new baffels. Could you post up a video or two, maybe a drive by and at idle.

 

[backinblack]

Urban, I'll try. I'm not very good at posting up stuff like that. LOL My friend has a good quality camera that I may can borrow. It sounds good but it is louder than the stock cobra baffles.

Has anyone else installed or heard these?

 

[SmokenJoe]

I have heard of these and helped a guy put them in his V&H big Shots. Sound was deep.

I just ordered these today. I will make a video of the standard Cobra Swept, Cobra Swept with no baffkes and then the Big City Baffles.

Thats sounds great. I love the swepts but would like a deeper rumble to them. Plz update when you get them in.

I should have them this week and hopefully will install them on Thursday. I got the Original baffles. They said if you want a deeper sound you can put these baffles about 6"-8" inside the pipe (as opposed to the standard 3") and then cut a portion of the original baffles and put them at the back. For that though you have to take the pipes off and drill another mounting hole. So I'll just go with the standard install for now and see what it sounds like. I know without any baffles it is loud! I'll put a video together of the various sounds and let the forum know......now that the spammers are gone (Thanks again ACE!)

 

[strykertony]

Have you gotten them installed??

Is this just a quick bolt-on change to the Cobra Swepts. I am getting ready to order a set.

 

[JRRKAR]

Yes I did get them installed but I have not finished the video yet. I got video of stock, without baffles and with baffles. As for the install, the hardest part is getting the stock baffles out. The Big City Baffles are only about 6" long and a little smaller diameter than the stock. I was able to install them (3" inside the pipe) in a few minutes using the stock holes in the exhaust.

But, they recommend the baffles be 6" inside the pipe for a deeper sound. This requires removing the exhaust so a new mounting hole can be drilled. Then if you want to adjust the tone even further, you can cut down a piece of the original baffle and insert that in the back of the pipes using the stock mounting hole. They recommend trying a 6", then 4" then 2" piece to get the sound you want. I think I am going to try the 6" mounting location but that may have to wait for a few weeks. I'll post when I get the video and pictures together.

Update.....

Yesterday I decided to take off the exhaust (about a 10 min. job), and drill a new mounting hole about 6.5" from the end of the exhaust so I can move up the Big City baffles. Wow....what a difference a few inches make...I'll leave that comment alone.

I'm going to take more video sound footage for my video compliation. I'm also going to cut down the original baffle (6" length) and see what that sounds like. Just having the Big City baffles deeper in the pipe gives a very throaty-deep sound. I like it a lot better than the baffles only being 3" from the end of the pipe. When my wife got home she saw the bike uncovered and asked what I was up to. I started it up and she was floored. Now I'm just curious as to what adding a portion of the original baffles will sound like.

Taking off the exhaust, drilling the hole, moving the baffles and reinstaling was only about a 30 min. job with one person.

Wow, lots of comments I think I should leave alone.

Waiting for the sound clip.

 

[UrbanRage]

Nice!! Once I get settled in SC, I will have to look into doing this mod. Definatly looking forward to the sound clips.

 

[JRRKAR]

Problem now is I have to add the new sound clip, then cut down the baffles and do some more. I'll see if I can get it together by Saturday evening.

I need this sound clip! I am in the air if I want to take my CObra baffles out or not.......

If you rake the baffles out you will loose back pressure and some low end torque.

 

[JRRKAR]

Last night I put together the video of all the sound clips and pictures I have so far. I plan to finish the sound clips tomorrow and experiment with a few more baffle modifications. So I should have the video posted Saturday night. I know.....the suspense is building!
