Default Boarzilla too loud

I have a 2007 Street Glide 113 cu. inch dynoed at 110 h/p 110 torque with 2 into 1 Boarzilla pipe. I have been told it has the quiet baffles but it is still too loud for my taste. Is there another pipe that will not decrease the h/p and torque with less noise? Is anyone getting better dyno results and staying within warranty? Thanks for your help.

My 110 has Rinehart TD's - less power than 2:1, but I have 104 db sound levels in a 106 db state (NH).

Can't help on the pipes, but I'm curious about the warranty issue. Who did the 113?The biggest I see in the book is 110? From what I've heard any time a new build is done, the installing dealer may warranty but that's it. I know I blew my warranty when I went to a 107 outside MOCO parts, Axtell, Baisely... strong stuff, but not HD.

I have a fix that won't have you buying new pipes. I too am running the Boarzilla and it was juast plain loud. Look closely at my sig pic and you will see what I have done. It has quieted it down and moved the torque even lower in the rpm range. PM me you e-mail addressand I will send you the details, I have the adapters already machined.

With your build, I would go with the Fatcat 2-1 with a quiet baffle. You'll gain performance and cut the noise down quite a bit too.

The Boarzilla is really only for 124" motors and larger............anything under that and you should stick with the Fatcat.

Man, just when i thought I was running with the big dogs, you guys show up with the real deal. I am a bit of a Horsepower junkie without the knowledge to make it happen. Don't know what makes it happen, but I do love to have that power, just need a different noise level for the wife and neighbors, but
they can't have any of my horses.

I have one of Guys Boarzilla fixes & it will make a huge improvement in the ridiculous volume that pipe makes. It will also HELP your toque, as those pipe are too bike for your motor.

Steve is right. A FatCat would be much better. I would say that your build would actually be best with a FatCat std or quiet baffle ~ not the performance one.

Since you have it... take a look at the setup Guy has. If you look real close at his signature photo, you will notice that the tip of his tailpipe looks different than your.
