I called to order a D&D Fat Cat 2-1 pipe, the seller asked me what baffle I want. The choices were regular (standard), quiet, or performance. Whats the best one to get to put on my 2000 RK.. I have no idea..Advice welcome..

 

I didn't realize that there were three options for baffles. I had a Fat Cat put on when I had the 103 built. Mine is supposed to be the quiet baffle. So, unless you really want loud, jmho, do not get the performance baffle. I really dig mine, but I wouldn't want it to be any louder.

 

You don't need the perf baffle unless it's a big motor... 113"+.

I prefer the std to the quiet, but that's just me.

 

Me either. AMS choices were regular or quite and Cateye were regular, quiet, and performance. The quiet and the performance baffle were more money.

 

Thx Phil and buddha..

 

I prefer the standard, the quiet is a little too quiet.

 

I have the quiet baffle, and lets just say it aint so quiet after 23,000 miles but it suredose sound good.

 

Quiet......I used a standard for a couple of weeks and couldn't wait to get the quiet baffle back....it's quieter than the standard, but calling it "quiet" is a stretch

 

The quiet baffle gives you the earliest torque curve, followed by the standard, then the big bore baffle. If you've got a bigger engine, the big bore gives more horsepower, same high torque, but the torque kicks in at about 2700. But usually, a bigger engine has a more aggressive cam which
will start the torque curve earlier anyway. I had the standard baffle on for about four seconds, shut the engine off, and exchanged the entire muffler at D&D for thirty bucks. The standard baffle was just way too quiet. Couldn't begin to imagine how quiet the quiet baffle is. You're ridinga Harley. It should sound like one. The big bore baffles are real popular here in Dallas.

I have the standard baffle and want to get a quiet one if anyone wants to trade? or has one for sale.
