Fat bob exhaust

I just bought a 2012 fat bob and I'm looking to make the bike louder. Don't have much money to go buy new pipes but don't want to lose power either. Any suggestions?

Depends on how motivated you are and how much you want to spend. If you want high quality get a good 2-1 exhaust, or go for a good 2-2 for a lot more sound. If you just want louder sound for not too much much money buy some slip on mufflers to replace the stock ones. If your broke and can't afford much but can't stand the sound, take the baffles out of your stock mufflers and put in some aftermarket baffles like cycle shack baffles. You can also keep an eye out on the classifieds for people selling Fat Bob take offs like Screaming Eagle slip ons etc. and also others selling full exhaust like thunderheader, Vance & Hines, Bassani, etc.

I got my V&H Pro Pipe used on here and selling my stock mufflers with Cycle Shack baffles. Lots more out there if you search.

Thanks for the input the best I could do right now is put in some new baffles I just don't want the bike to be annoying but I want it to be noticeable

Cycle shack baffles are $30 and the stock baffles take some elbow work to get the three rivets out but they aren't that tough to remove. No offense JRK5892 cause you do some uber awesome work but I would never pay someone to take the baffles on my exhaust out. It's just too easy of a job to learn to do yourself. Took me about half an hour to do mine just cause they were new and really snugged in there but its the third bike I have debaffled and the Fat Bob was the easiest by far.

Blackout check my link in my sig if your maybe interested in stock cans with cycle shack baffles for cheap then you can sell your clean pretty stockers for a couple of bucks to someone looking for replacements. I upgraded exhaust so all of my stock exhaust is sitting in my garage taking up space.

I have these on my fat bob and love them. Great sound and increased torque, not to mention they look great. $480 is a great price.
