Default 255 Cam install

Have Fuel Moto AC, PVC and Jackpot's in my 103 Limited. Thinking of installng 255's. How much will exhaust noise increase? I know several of the members installed them with this package.(Iclick). I don't want to have to change to a quiet exhaust because of the cams.

You will definately notice an increase in the exhaust volume. Its not a huge difference but theres no question that it will be louder.

If it does get beyond your acceptable noise level, the quiet baffles have worked fine for me on my 08 RK with Jackpots . I have a 2011 Limited with the 103, Jackpots and 255 cams. Got too loud for us, so I put the stock mufflers on and it feels just as strong in the low rpms. It probably starts losing a touch of power at 2500, then a steady loss increase till maybe 3 to 5 hp by 5500 rpm. Not a big deal to me, we ride two up and I seldom go over 4,000 rpm. I like the jackpots and will probably order the quiet baffles and put them back on.

Get your Power back and the level of Sound you want,,, Very easy to do,, Get a set of SE Fatshotz's and order the tunning Discs from SuperTrapp ,, you then can adjust your Sound and ONE Big PLUS the SE FATSHOTZ have the EPA STAMP!!!
