Default Exhaust modification

I’m looking to quite by bike down some and add some low end torque, I have a Bassani 2 into 1, I’m thinking of adding a disc to the bar in the back, the bar is attached to the baffle and used to install or remove it. I am wondering if it would A: Quite the bike. B Add low end torque. C: Hamper performance and D: Nothing at all.

Putting that disc in there will do nothing for you. It may even create other noises that will bother you more. Look to see if Bassani offers a quiet baffle for that pipe.

That disk is way too small. I put in a set of DK Customs TTI's and they take up almost the entire inside diameter of the pipe. It's recommended to remove the old baffle when you do this. BTW, they work great! Deeper sound and very good low range power.

It is all a compromise-
One thing will make the low end better and the top not so much.
Without a dyno and some research http://www.nightrider.com/biketech/exhaust.htm

you are just guessing.

i might help and it might not, the best way to tell for sure would be to take it to the dyno, run it the way it is, then install it and run it again and compare the results, and road test it to confirm. as a tuner i do mods like this all the time, sometimes it helps A LOT, and sometimes not, and the i have had it make wierd noises too. whether or not it helps depends a lot on your build also, so that's my 2 cents.
