+1 on the 2 into 1 SuperTrapp with the tunable 20 disc. Dam fine pipe that most people overlook.

Just ordered one.

What did you end up doing? I also have a Fat cat with what I thought was the quiet baffle, at least that's what I ordered. Recently I called D&D to see which baffle I had, per my description.
I was told they couldn't tell without removing the baffle to see if it is wrapped. I find the current level of exhaust annoying and wish I could lower it some.

I bought a quiet louvered baffle from another member but it turned out to be the restrictive baffle that is closed off at the end. I sent it back, got a refund and didn't do anything else as of yet.

Have you looked at the Big City Quiet baffles or the Smartpartz alternative for your current set up? Can you remove your current baffle and wrap it?

Since the thread is about 3 years old I doubt subscribing to it will yield any results. JS

Oops! Didn't notice that. Maybe someone else will chime in.

Look into Fuel Motos E-Series. Preforms like the Fat Cat but discs allow you to control the noise. Currently really considering it for my bike.

and I just caught that this was 3 years old too... whoops

I'm going to try some different baffling and see what I can come up with.

If you like your current set-up, the cheapest alternative are foam earplugs from the drugstore. No kidding...I use them on long highway rides...cuts the db's by 30, but I don't listen to music when I ride so it works for me. Makes for a much more relaxing ride without the wind noise.

I've got Dragula II's on order for my '14 RK. I'm hoping for a nice deep exhaust tone. I want to be heard in traffic but don't want anything raspy or obnoxious. I've read nothing but positive reviews about the Dragula II. Hoping it pans out...

Good luck sorting it out...
