I have a set of Vance&hines monster ovals on my street glide, I also have true dual head pipes and a 103 kit on it with a map download, my question is I want a little more sound out of them and u can't change the baffles on them can I punch the center stop out of them with out hurting performance or does any one have a set of rineharts there looking to trade for something quieter any info would be great thanks:icon_beerchug

 

Punch the center out = Loss of performance due to loss of back pressure.

Different pipes = louder sound.

 

You paid a lot of money for the research and development Vance & Hines put into those mufflers, why would you take a hatchet and destroy all of that. Better off selling them and buying something that better fits your wants. Never understood why people buy a great product and want to rip them apart to SEE IF they can improve on them. Just doesn't make sense.

 

Thanks guys they we're on the bike when I bought it just ideas floating around I dont want to ruin them just trying to get better sound

 

so what the fellas are saying is that if you "mod" the pipes, you are discarding the science.

If you want to mess around with pipes, do you have the stock mufflers in your shed ?- hammer on those.

And afterward your butt-dyno may want you to mut the M/O's back on.

In general, louder pipes produce less torque

in general, true duals produce less torque

and torque is what we need to get a 900 pound bike moving at stop lights or in twisties.

The Fuel Moto Jackpot 4" Dyno tuned slip-ons are the pipes for you.

They have the deep sound of the Monsters, but they are louder.

I had the Monster Ovals; loved the sound and the look but got tired of changing out the peeling chrome tips. One day I will have them rechromed.

I replaced the Monsters for the Jackpots.

 

They're most certainly not the pipes for him because he has true dual headers and the 4" Jackpots have Asymmetrical baffles (Different Sizes left & right) to take advantage of a 2-1-2 setup, but he might be pleased with a set of Rush Big Louie pipes with standard baffles..........
