1997 Tour Deluxe Stock Exhaust

[Bodaggit23]

I've had lots of comments on my exhaust..."is that stock?" "Did you drill the baffles out?"

 

I don't have a GoPro so I recorded in HD and just used the audio for a short slideshow.

Mine has 4 muflers, but one thing is for sure, the end is not open like you have yours.

 

And even the one on my venture also is not open like that. Somebody removed the baffle.

That's interesting...and why it sounds so badass! Haha!

 

Anyone have a pic of what it's supposed to look like?

 

***EDIT***

I thought the tube was the baffle...there's definitely nothing

in the tube now. lol

No one has a picture of what the exhaust looks like with the baffle in?

 

Are the baffles really removed?

 

Does anyone think it sounds good? Like crap?

 

Is removing the baffles bad or taboo?

Just my opinion..... sounds not-so-good

Federal Law against modifying exhaust for highway use.

 

I prefer a nice quiet sound, like a sewing machine, especially if I have to listen to it all day wearing my 1/2 helmet. That way I can hear if anything changes, and I can hear my passenger talking normally.

I understand that point of view perfectly, thank you for taking the time to reply.

 

Btw, this was a Washington bike until I brought it home to North Dakota in May.

Thanks for the pic but it sort of looks the same to me...? Both open in the center.

Also, the model number on my pipes is 4YE-2, the one in your pic is 4XY-2...if that matters?

 

Not arguing, just trying to understand how it would have been removed.

 

Thank you sincerely for replying...sorry I had to beg. *wink*

Mine seems to have a weld where the inner pipe comes all the way through yours almost looks like that inner tube was cut to make a gap. Sounds good mine where in the basement I Just changed them for HD take offs so I can always go back if needed.
