Jackpot competition baffles installed
As we all know sound is subjective and different for everyone, but here's my thoughts. I have the 4" jackpots and love the sound, but was wanting it to be a little louder. After talking to fuel moto I decided to order the competition baffles. I have to say they are awesome. They are definately louder but not obnoxious and to me they sound like they have a deeper tone than the standard baffle. Cruising speed is a nice deep rumble, when you open it up they really bark. I was a little concerned as they told me I would loose a little low end torque but gain some top end horsepower. I really didn't notice any difference in performance. Very happy and would recommend them.

I do not have a video of the comp baffles and because our shop bike's are all highly modified it would not be a proper representation. For example, on a stock bike they are pretty reasonable, but on a built 110" they will wake the dead. I will keep it in mind the next time we have stock or slightly modified bike in to put a video together.

Not real sure how to post a video, not sure how it will turn out on my iphone, but I'll see what I can do tomorrow.

Did you use the supplied packing or did you reuse the packing from the other baffle? I think I remember someone posting that the packing from the standard baffles.
Just received mine today and the quality of these baffles is outstanding. Now all I gotta do is wait for the 2-1-2 head pipe to arrive and I will put it all on the bike. Can't wait!

I just reused the packing on the standard baffles. Pretty easy you can just unrap it and put it on, has some sort of adhesive on the cover that will hold it closed again. Only took about a 1/2 hour, one of the screw holes didn't want to line up.

Sounds great. I think I will install them this weekend. I have a gutted head pipe installed so I should get a pretty good idea of how they are going to sound.
