Baffled

I wanna take the Baffles out of my cans to make them louder.
Would this decrease performance at all?

wouldn't it let more air out and give better performance?

Or would it reduce back-pressure and give worse?

I didn't think back presure actually affected a 4 stroke engine all that much,
just 2 strokes...

i may be wrong here Shocked

if u remove the baffles your bike will be a lot louder, i think they do hold some of the pressure, by removing this pressure the engine may loose power and will prolly be more noticable when going up hills and possibly harsh acceleration

When a mate took his baffles out it sounded really loud but he complained of a bit less mid-range. Don't know if that was because his bike is only a 400 or that the bike itself is fucked, but hey ho Razz

It will make it louder, but I don't believe it will make your bike much slower, cos i don't think that's possible Razz

Nah, I dont think it affects the perfomance that much. Zimma and Korn have done thier's and I dont think they've had problems

Zimma didnt take the baffles out of his exhaust!! Razz

Twas me and Kornel and it doesnt make a difference in power as far as i can tell, actully it helps a little bit the engine seems to breathe a lot better and is generally more happy oh and it sounds a *lot* better!! When you get stopped by the plod what can they say about noise when it says original Suzuki equipment on the pipe? Laughing

Back pressure does affect 4st engines hence Yamaha's Exup valve, it's designed to improve power delivery at lower revs.

Hi

Back preasure is important, but you need alot of tech info to work out how important. Often if you try this it will screw up the mid range power anyway (but it sounds faster so some people dont notice)

The EXUP valve is there to screw up the exhaust preasure waves at low revs so that they dont cause large flat spots when the cams and exhaust are setup for power at high revs

All the best
