Exhaust question for Night Rod Special-B.Budd
Hello, a friend of mine B. Budd, has a 2008 Night Rod Special. He was looking to make his stock pipes sound a little louder.
Is there anything he can do to make them a little louder without completely changing the pipes. Thanks in advance for your replied.

If you want to go old school, you could remove the baffles or go on ebay for example and look at the exhaust tips available to replace the stock silver cans. I have an 08 NR Special and put on black vance and hines exhaust with the screamin eagle race tuner and air cleaner.

RE: Exhaust question for Night Rod Special-B.Budd
There are two popular modifcations you can do to stock pipes on the V-Rods. One is to drill holes around the exit hole of the pipe. If you drill 6-8 holes 3/8 of an inch to 1/2 inch, you will give it a little more grumble. If you keep the air filter the same and leave the top on the airbox, then you really don't NEED a fuel management system for it. Although you will notice a little stumbling under 3000 rpm. It won't run you dangerously lean.
The other is to remove the inner baffle of the pipes. This was started in 2002-2003 by Main Street Motorcycles, aka v-mod. The "V-Mod style cut" has been a favorite of many V-Rods for years. "Make it sound like it looks."
Essentially, you take a hole saw, and cut the back side of the pipe around the center hole. Then you pull the baffle out. If you do this carefully, you just take the end cap off the bike, cut out the inner baffle and put the end cap on the pipe again. You don't have to remove the pipe from the bike at all to do this. The hole just has to be big enough to get around the inner pipe. The baffle will pull out in one piece.
This will require EFI tuning. Either a Pulse Width Modulator (Techlusion box, Screamin Eagle Race FUELER or the like) or PCIII, or SERT. There are alot of maps available on this modification at 1130cc.com and maybe v-nation.com
Best of luck.
