Yes, about 200-300 to machine the cases. I have a thread called breakout gets a new heart in the engine mechanical sub forum, for a parts list and pics.

 

Awesome, I will go take a look. Thanks!

 

I just had this interesting email exchange with D&D Exhausts:

Jim G:
have the D&D Low Cat exhaust on my 2014 HD Breakout. My riding buddies are complaining that riding with me is not fun because of the volume and sharpness of my exhaust! (They are mostly cruisers with stock exhausts, and I’d like to keep riding with them!). Is there a way I can change the baffle in my Low Cat to a quieter one and/or mellower one?

D&D:
James
Sorry but that is the Louvered Wrapped baffle witch is the quietest baffle we make for any of our exhaust. There is not really not any way to make that baffle quieter.

Jim G:
So I cannot, for example, stuff steel wool into the end of the pipe, or other DIY mod either?

D&D:
Jim
I guess you could but that is not something we have done. The way that baffle is packed from the inter-core to muffler housing there is no room for more packing. Any thing you do to the core will restrict the flow and change the performance of the pipe.


Sigh . . .

No baffles available for the bobcat either. Upside is they perform great. I wonder if the lowcat is louder than the bobcat due to the difference in muffler tip design. They have the same baffle I believe.

 

I think the only difference might be that the Low Cat is tilted up just a bit at the rear to help ground clearance (it was designed for use on lower bikes where the untilted version could too easily touch pavement when the bike was leaned).

Bobcat muffler pics, Jim , any pics of the inside of the lowcat?

 

I don't have any photos of the end of the Low Cat. I will try to get one later this morning.

When the HD salesman let me listen to the D&D Low Cat on another bike when I was buying my Breakout in 2014, the exhaust sounded rather mild to me on that other bike.

But my bike has a Stage 4 race kit (the 2014 more intense version than subsequent Stage 4 kit), a tune, and a cold cranking pressure reading of 210, and there IS a sharpness to the sound. I stop hearing that sharpness inside my Schuberth S2 helmet at about 55 mph, due to wind noise, but when cruising the winding backroads in our riding area with other riders, my speed is often much slower, and if the sharpness is a bit irritating to me, it must be pretty notable to riders behind me . . .

I'd like to see a pic of the muffler. The bobcat is tilted too. I know what you mean, as I just built a 124 and it is louder Now.

 

Here's a photo of the inside of my Low Cat:

 

Will these fit the quick release break out when shield. They are sold by boss bags
