Fuelmoto Baffles
Hello, I have a set of the jackpot mufflers on my 09 road king. I like the sound but would like it to be a little louder, so I ordered a larger baffle from fuelmoto yesterday.
My question is what would removing the baffles do to the bike? I know it would be louder, but would it cause any loss in performance or damage?
Thanks very much.

I reduced my Jackpot baffle size from 2" to 1.75" on the right side only and couldn't tell the difference in performance, although it was slightly quieter, and that was my goal.

Do the New Jackpotts look almost identical to the stock pipes? That is the only thing holding me back from getting the dyno tunned performance package. I know the sound and performance will be improved but would like the pipes to look a little different as well. Really was hoping Jamie was going to come out with a Jackpott Oval but that will probably be after I get new pipes...LOL.

I initially got the 2-1/4" baffles from Fuel Moto with my Rush mufflers. They were a little quieter than what I wanted so I called Jaime and asked the same question. He said that with the 2-1/2" I will get more sound, but the performance will be less, and I would get some decel popping. I had him send me the 2-1/2" anyway, and I really didn't notice any performance difference (A dyno test may prove otherwise). The decel popping is very minor also.

I am guessing the 2 1/2 baffle is what I ordered. When I first placed my order for the jackpot mufflers, I just asked for the dyno tuned mufflers. I guess I have the 2 1/4 baffle in now.
hullhorr, are you pleased with the new baffle? Did it make a difference in the sound?
Thanks

If you have AT you won't have any tuning issues. I was assuming a basic PCV (no AT) and that the installed map would be good with a small increase in baffle size. That's what Jamie tells me and he's the guru.
The standard Jackpots have 2" baffles installed, or at least did when I bought mine, although the left is restricted by a 3/4" reversion cone. I would guess he's sending you the 2ź" if you are going up one step. I don't even know if he has a 2˝" option for the DT Jackpots.
