Default Adding baffles to CFR's

Hey Fellas, I've done some searching but trying to get more specific info. I couldn't find that CFR makes their own. Are there universal fit baffles or are they specific to a brand of head pipe/muffler? I'm planning on using the. S&S power tune head pipes which I think is going to be a bit loud for me, so I'd like to have some baffles at the ready if that's the case. - Thanks.

JMO, most don't purchase the CFRs for performance or their quiet sound, installing a baffle if you can, defeats the purpose of why most buy the CFRs.

Now if you already own the CFRs, you can probably call them directly and get some information of what kind, size if any they recommend.

I went through the same thing. I found out about a reputable company called Big City Thunder, who make a Baffle called the Monster baffle. They actually insert into the end of your header pipe just after the point your CFRs slip on. These things are amazing. I got every bit of back pressure back and the bike runs fantastic! They have the standard Baffle and they also have a QQ version, which quiets the exhaust down a bit. I have the standard version. Call them and tell them which header you're using, they should be able to tell you the proper baffle for the exact fit.

Yeah, I'd like to know too, but have to tell you when I pull into a busy gas station I make sure they all know I'm there.... and they do; kind of a safety thing...

Love the sound, I need more back pressure for the low end torque that was lost.

Heck even the high end torque that was lost.

The Andrews 57h came on like a freight train at 2600ish rpms,
now i feel no change with the CFR's.

I have to change my riding style, not even looking forward to 2 up.

Feel like I have to ride my clutch now from a dead stop just so I dont stall it.

Has anyone tried any baffle work to get back low end torque?

I'm sorry for the delayed response guys. Not the Baffle I used from Big City Thunder. However, they do have what they call a QQ baffle from the same company that will quiet down the CFRs a few decibels.

Definitely worth looking into these if you have CFRs or looking into them.
