Default Mufflers

Hi I am thinking of buying a set of Screamin Eagle, Street Performance Touring Mufflers.
80732-09 is the part number.
I am reading that some of you are changing the baffles, just wondering why.
Are they to loud or not loud enough.
Or just looking for more power.

Thanks
Glenn R

Glenn, most change out the baffles for sound, you ride around on a set of pipes that sounded great, and two months later your change the baffles to get more noise, I started with Rush mufflers with 2 inch baffles, a year later I was putting in 2 1/4 because I wanted it louder, what you hear riding your scoot is different from what other people hear when you go by. I'm 62 and like a Harley to sound like a Harley within reason, get an exhaust that you CAN change the baffles on, chances are you will want louder after awhile. And put anti-seize on the baffles nut and bolt so they are easy to remove,

I have a set of Screamin Eagle SP mufflers on my 09 Fat Boy. I put them on as part of my Stage 1 upgrade along with an Ness Big Sucker and Fuelpak. They sound a bit louder and deeper than stock and after the Stage 1 I have more power.

I do find myself occasionally wishing my exhaust was a bit louder but that is usually when I ride with my father-in-law who has V&H Big Shots on his Low Rider. Not much stacks up to the nice sound of those.

Give 'em a try... as others have said you can always swap out the baffle if you are looking for more sound. Big City Thunder and Cycle Shack both make replacement baffles for the SP mufflers.

IF U want Ur pipe just a Tiny, Tiny, Hair louder than stock then go for it..

Thinking U should be able to find them used real easy as most replace them rather soon after buying them.. For some louder ones.
