Default Jackpot Mufflers

For those who have them, pros/cons? Perfomance/looks? I'm contemplating.

Thnx

Love mine. went with 2.25" on the right, left is 1.75". good idle sound, not offensive, great cruising sound but it barks when u get on it! chrome is good quality, fit is great and service was exceptional.

What exactly do you mean by 2.25" right and 1.75" left? Something to do with the baffles?

yes, the baffles...the 1.75 on the left is like a reverse baffle if I'm not mistaken....it's more like a 2 into 1 system for back-pressure and power...the right is 2.25 for more sound.....

Smaller baffle on left side. I looked a few times before mounting. A few hundred miles on mine. Like the man says mellow at idle or when moving easy. With a little throttle as you are pushing exhaust through the left muffler, they sound impressive.

I'd buy them again. The rest is pretty subjective. I agree with keltonkrew's comments. The Fuel Moto Power Pkg is the way to go IMO.

All sounds great. Haven't heard anything bad about them yet.

Performance: They guarantee them to be the best-performing slip-on available and based on charts I've seen I believe it. The asymmetrical design with different baffling in each muffler makes a noticeable difference, a design that was created from much dyno testing.

Looks: Subjective, but IMO they have a high-quality look, especially with the optional tips.

Sound: Nice, deep, throaty without being too loud. Different baffle options are available to reduce or increase the DB level to your taste. There's a hint of a 2-into-1 tone to them since the left side is more restricted, forcing most exhaust to the right. Most people like the sound.



BTW, the old-style Jackpots had two types available, classic and dyno-tuned. The classics had standard symmetrical baffles while the dyno-tuned variety are as described above. The new-style Jackpots come only in the Dyno-Tuned configuration, I think, and although the left baffle is not changeable the right can be configured for four levels of sound volume. The standard baffle comes with the mufflers with quiet (two levels) and competition baffles available optionally.

I just put some on a few weeks ago and they sound great. No problem hearing the radio either.

Default Jackpots

I went with the Fuelmoto Package with the Jackpots one year and about 8300miles ago. They still look brand new. No blueing or discoloration of any kind. Being mine are "older" I'm not sure what baffles are in them other than I know the one on the left is smaller. I might would go with a little louder baffle if I was to do it again, but love the mufflers and you can't go wrong with Jamie.
