Default Rush with 1.50 or 1.75 Baffles?

OK...I'm done wating for my 07 SE Touring Performance Slips to break in and get louder. I have about 3500 mile on them andthey are still quieter thanmy stock ones I gave to my friend. His 2001 sounds better than mine with my old stock pipes.

Anyway, I listen to the radio a lot while riding (mostly 2 laners..55 -65 MPH). I want the deep rumble at idle, and more volume when riding but still want to hear the radio and don't want my ears ringing after long rides.

Which should I get....1.5 or 1.75 baffles??

Oh yeah..one more thing....I've got the SERT and it's been dyno tuned with my current 07 SE slip -ons. Should I be worried about the flow difference when changing to the Rush 1.5 or 1.75?

go with the 2' baffles, and have the dynoer recheck the a/f to make sure it didnt drastically change. Any change to the system will cause a change in performance/runability now that the SERT has been added to the picture.

I also agree with the 2' baffles. They will not leave your ears ringing and will give your bike the sound you are looking for.

Peace,

2.5" here.

OK around town.

On a 300+ mile trip, 3/4 helmet and earplugs are a necessity.

Thinking 1.75" next.

Had 2.0" originally but wife hasn't ridden since they were put on - "too noisy back here".

She liked the OEM setup [:@][:@][:@][:@][:@][:@][:@][:@][:@][:@][:@][:@][:@][:@][:@][:@][:@][:@][:@][:@][:@] Ain't ever going back there

I have the 1.75's and couldn't be happier..... They bark when you crack the throttle, and are mild enoughon the freeway to hear your favorite tunes.

Take them screaming eagles off and drill the rivets out of them and pull the baffles and all that stuff out and cut the center out of the insert that fits into the barrrel of the muffler leaving the bolt holes then make a cap that'll bolt in and put a peice of 2" or so exhaust tubing about 6" long in the center of the cap. It'll sound deep and good. before we put the end caps on them and they were basically guts, and just roared and were really loud, the bottom end torque was gone. but now it pulls great and sounds great, nothing tinny about it either.It's a unique sound that turns heads and sounds great, especially if they're true duals.
