Is this baffle? Can I remove it?

[Baba_SuperSlide]

Its a scorpion exhaust but really quiet. Wondering if I could remove the internals?

[RhynoCZ]

I wouldn't, but yes you can, it's your exhaust afterall. It is an open exhaust, so removing the cotton won't help the performance.

Take a pic from further back ... its difficult to see if someone has already removed the Db killer ...... if they have then your exhaust is as loud as it was designed to be without turning it into an open pipe.

Yes, you have got an open exhaust there. The nut that you can see inside is where the Db killer was once mounted.

I think it's already out and someone refitted the bolt it was held in with.

You are zoomed too far in to show the baffle. The nut / bolt arrangement that is out of focus at the bottom of your picture is typically what holds the baffle in. The baffle just restricts the aperture of the exhaust's exit.

With the baffle removed, you'll probably get worse fuel economy. You probably won't get any noticeable power difference; performance at low revs will probably be lower due to less back-pressure. You will annoy your neighbours.

[edit] Yup, it's been removed already.

Really grateful for all your replies. Thank you!

So basically this is as loud as my bike can be then I guess? Its a shame.

Its a lot quieter than the bikes that wake me up at crack of dawn while blasting past my house.

You can always cut the can down or just take it off aka 'racefit' if you want to be particularly antisocially loud.

I have a scorpion like that on the 5eb track r6. Its about 95db or so with no baffle.

Buy another can, in worse condition, get it cheaply enough, cut that. Don't ruin a perfectly alright exhaust when you don't even know if you're gonna like it or not.

You're gonna need a drill and some rivets to re-assemble it again, once you're done cutting.

[Polarbear]

I had scorpions on my busa. Were loud even with the db killers in.

Are you sure you aren't deaf.

It isn't actually Carbon Fiber, the can is stainless steel, it's a wrap around the outside that is cf (real cf matting, not pretend plastic stuff)

For what it's worth I don't think you'll need to cut it down, it is loud as it is.

I remember when I was 16 , my scooter was not very loud so I cut the exhaust off
Just had the down pipe , it was loud , it was so loud a police man was waiting for me when I rode into town , he said I have heard you coming for miles.

Yes he gave me a ticket to get the exhaust replaced in 7 days , it was fun for a few days anyway ....

Ok just a quick update. Fitted a slightly gutted exhaust. Its loud as hell which I enjoyed for a day but....

Bike feels flat. Doesn't feel as nippy as it used to.


Soooo.... After all this I think ill go back to my old exhaust

Sorry...
