kj68 - which ones did you use from bigcity?

 

Watching this thread closely. Love the sound with stock headers but plan on adding the Fuel Moto headers and Power Vision. I understand it will be louder but much louder has me nervous. Worse case I could change out mufflers but these Street Cannons are just about the perfect decibal for me.

 

It was either the 1625 or the 1750. Just call them and they can tell you which one will fit your head pipe. They're very helpful.

thanks.

 

So I went the old-school dirt bike route to start with. Got a couple sheets of FMF packing. Between 1/2 and 3/4 inches thick 15X18 inch sheet. Used one per can, wrapped it tight and electrical tape it in place. First ride...short, no time, ugh...liking the sound so far...mellowed them a bit. I'll post more after a longer ride...$20/20 minutes

 

This is a timely thread. The previous owner of my bike put on V&H dresser duals with V&H slipons. I thought it was too loud. I purchased SE Street cannons because I like how they sound on my cousins Street Glide. What I didn't realize that they don't sound the same when there's no cat in the head pipe.

Holy cow these street cannons are annoying. Thinking of going with the Big City baffles that were suggested earlier in the thread.

im in the same postition. gutted cat and sc mufflers. i havent gotten to ride it or really hear it yet, only started it up for a minute in the shop.

seems people either love or hate the sound of the sc w no cat.

post up what you do.

thanks.

 

As an FYI...because I've been inside the SC's...what I found was the the baffle packing is more like a bag with fairly loose fill in it. And, as expected, where the bag met the core there was no bag and the end of the right-hand bag wasn't burnt to a crisp but was noticeably crispier that the rest of both baffles. I attribute this to running the cans on the stock heard for 4-5k miles.
I'd chatted with Big City and like the idea and may end up going that route eventually but went with what I was pretty positive would work from the start and gives me a small measure of adjustability...I can always add more packing if I want...

 

So how is the sound with the new packing - did you regain that deep tone that existed with the cats? What's the sound lever like compared to the HD packing with and/or without the cat?

 

The tone, from the short ride I mentioned above, is much much closer to how they sounded with the cat. Maybe a little louder when gettin on it, but pleasant. As a comparison, I'd put the stock cans on with the new headers...right there,as expected, next to Honda quiet. The SC's are now, with the new packing between that and the obnoxious sound of the original baffle material. I'll know more hopefully this weekend if the weather picks up as expected and will update.
