Street Glide with CFRs with / without torque cones
Just want to hear some opinions of this. I am adding some CFR slip ons to my SE Street Glide and hear that they are really open. What do you guys think of adding torque cones? Do it? Dont do it?
Leave'em open. Very famliar with the deep roar of the CFR's as they started out for V-Rods. Buddy here in NC has them on his glide. Best sounding bike i have ever heard. There is not a head that doesn't turn when that bike comes in. CFR's of course are just slip-ons and he said he had to replace the headers as well to get the great tone he has. He said it just didn't sound as good with the stock headers.
i will try to put that clip on when i get them installed.. I could not fit on the stock headers yesterday.. i am taking them down to the MOCO this morning to have them put on and add a sest..
Been there and done that. The Cones make your bike sound "tinny".
Big City Thunder baffles will make help your bike make low end TQ and will give you a lower end "rumble" sound until you get on it.
They are mounted in your tail pipe(s) and work with your exhaust where as the cones try to restrict your flow right at the head.
Not good.
I have them on now, but did not get a chance to put on a clip.. I am out of town right now but will put a clip on as soon as I get back to the bike.. they do sound great right now.. i put on an SEST and left out the torque cones.. thanks for all the advice.. i will put on that clip asap.
I may be wrong here but cfr's are very open and can get pretty loud on their own,if you install big city baffles instead of hearing you from a mile away they'll hear you from 5 miles.Now they do have the baffles that install at the head instead of the actuall tail pipe,no experience there though.
