Default 2 questions engine and exhaust

1. Newbie question....How can I tell what size and displacement my engine is?
2.&nbsp\\; If I run reinhart tru-duals without any baffels, what are the side effects?
&nbsp\\;
Thanks all,
New here so don't kill me.

Owners manual should tell you your size &amp\\;displacement of your engine...and as far as side effect with no baffles in the Rineharts....you're gonna get poor lower end torque and a lot of tickets from guys like me!!!!!

Read your owners manual.
Then get a service manual.

If work has been done on the engine then you are gonna need to measure the bore and stroke.&nbsp\\; If it is stock then go by year.&nbsp\\; Removing the baffles might give you less throttle response besides making them really loud!

Don't know of a way short of disassembling the engine.

2. If I run reinhart tru-duals without any baffels, what are the side effects?
Much reduced low-end and midrange torque and much louder.

Any stock&nbsp\\;Twin Cam made between 1999 and 2006 is an 88 cu. in. motor. All&nbsp\\;2007 and up motors are 96 cu. in. except CVO's which are 103's or 110's depending on year.&nbsp\\;If you bought a used bike and don't know if it was modified look&nbsp\\;up the previous owner and ask otherwise there's no way of knowing short of popping off a head.
You won't like Rineharts without baffles, they sound rattyand run horrible.&nbsp\\;Don't worry they offer three different baffles and they ALL are noisy - just choose how much noise you want...loud, Louder, and really obnoxious LOUD!!! They are referred to as quiet, standard, and performance baffles. Hope this helps.

I certainly don't want a ticket, Odd Job.&nbsp\\; But my problem is that the left side with the baffle in rattles like a couple of cans insid the pipe.&nbsp\\; I have removed and replaced them twice with the same results.&nbsp\\; No baffles, no rattling....thoughts?
Also, how can I compare a 88cu with say a yamaha 1100?
&nbsp\\;
Thanks again all.
