For any early model D&D Bobcat owners
I got one of the early versions of the D&D Bobcat exhaust for my 48. They now have a performance baffle option now that lends itself best to engines that have been modified. Not quite plug and play to change baffles...but if you can easily/safely remove and re-install 1/8" pop rivets, you can change it easily in an afternoon.
At idle is has a nice throaty but soft sound...
WOW cant describe the sound the engine makes at 3000 rpm and higher... OMG...better than my first time discovering sex....

Had not seen this post. I got mine with the performance baffle just out of pure luck. I only ordered the exhaust without specifying a baffle. Did not know there were options on that).
It was part of the purchase of the bike. So the HD parts counter manager ordered the one with the performance baffle (well, he first order a black one only to realize that I had ordered the CF, but he was able to change in time for the order).
I found a thread on XL Forums that compares performance on both baffles. I was surprised to see that the performance looses a few points on power/torque...
But the sound is frigging amazing!!

Found the thread... here:

And I could care less at the minimal performance difference that graph shows... love the sound and the looks of this setup.

I will take another video later when I can take it to the highway and really open her up... this one is just around the neighborhood...
I had to use a mount from the car, the Go-Pro mount was shaking too much.
And link to video

That was mine, so yes. Keep in mind, I did not open her up... I will get something recorded this afternoon, work and weather permitting...

And you really need a setup with a good mic to record this... or the sound of the wind and all other noises around just do not let you record the sound correctly... I tried different methods (sony camera, go-pro without mic, etc...) and this setup provided the cleanest sound...
