Default D&D Fatcat baffles choice???

I have 2003 FXSTI with lots of motor mods. I now have V&H short shots not very good for making big power i have been told. I like to go with D&D Fatcat i have heard lots of good things about them. Which Baffle should i use Luever or big bore?

My motor:
95ci
50mm Kuryakyn TB
10.5:1 compression
4G Kuryakyn cams/ gear driven
lots of head work done by John Sachs
106HP
107TQ

I went with big bore "quiet" baffles on my fatcat. I like it when I get on it, but it needs a bit more growl. I intend on pulling it out and removing some of the packing but I know how hard it is so I am waiting until we have a rainy weekend. Nice weather is for riding.

To your question, I suspect it depends on the sound you want. The fatty gives a real deep sound, the louvered baffles don't do much to baffle it but don't have the lower tone that the big bore does.

You NEED a fatcat. This pipe will really help you take advantage of that build you have. You can email me at DREW@DRVTWIN.COM for pricing.

I got my D&D Lowcat from Cateye Customs.. They are a sponsor of the forums as well.. As for which baffle, Leonard at D&D will be a great help to you in your choice.. I went with the standard baffle but I'm going to install the performance baffle sometime soon and see what that does for me..

Performance baffle is only for bigger motors 107 and more. Let us know how it works.
