Fishtails

Just installed a pair of 1-7/8" straight thru fishtails. Love the look, but pretty loud.
Has anyone installed baffels in these pipes?

RE: Fishtails

I ran a straight fishtail on my Shovel, but only one and did away with the left side barge pipe. I guess the 2-into-1 setup made it quieter than the dual-type system, or maybe it was 'cause I was coming from a set of shorty drags, but it didn't seem that noisy. You can baffle them from the front end if'n you want.

RE: Fishtails

I'm running stock fish tails on mine. Then put true duels on, then hammered a pipe through the baffles. Then on one side the baffle slid right out...drove like that for a day or two, sounded fine to me but there wasn't enough back pressure/tuned properly too run even so I slid it but in till I buy a new pair of pipes from samson. With the baffles punched out it sounded nice( a bit louder) to me. Now that I have the new pipes I have to fill the hole that is left....any thought's?
Was thinking kickstart an and old fashin tool box kit buy the rear shocks...or somthing like that.
heres some pic's....I hope.
