Default Question about header pipe measurement

Thanks Paul, I guess I am back at step 1. Wasn't really trying to change my slip ons, but I guess that's my only option here.
Hey Paul and all you guys who helped me...thank you thank you again !

You can try re-packing yours, wrapping the baffle, or taking the baffle out altogether, but there is a difference between 'deeper', and louder.

Some have the packing against the inside of the large part of the slip on, with space between it and the baffle, and some have it wrapped tight around the baffle itself. You may have none at all..

Generally, 'deeper' comes from larger diameter, and bigger cubic inch motors!!!!!!
