[QUOTE="ekvh, post: 152830, member: 1179"] Posted this at ngw, Update, still same ol crappy paint job. My Harley mufflers developed a pretty good rattle in the baffles and after failed attempts to pull them out, I hacked them off with a sawzall at the beginning of the reverse bell at the end of the pipes. I put the baffles back in and reversed the bell making them more megaphone style. Louder? Yes. Too much? probably. If you don't accelerate hard, it's barely noticeable, but hit the throttle much at all, and they are loud. Riding in a pack of open-pipe Harley's, I might hear my own bike now,lol, no disrespect intended. Change performance jetting? Yes. I also fitted an 1100 air filter as my 1000 was leaking. This raised Cain or cane? with my jetting. I messed with it a bit and have it close I think. At first I tried a washer under the needle, made it worse. I am up about 10mm in most jets except idle jet and idle air jet. Primary is 70 jet with 130 air, Main jet is 130 with 70 air. Idle is still 35, but with an air jet of only 70. Still have some pops on deceleration. And a little burbling around 2500. Will have to watch plugs. Maybe the idle air jet can go back closer to stock now that I switched the others. I dropped it to 70 to improve off idle response. I guess it is true what has been said here about messing with the intake side, it does affect jetting. [/QUOTE]
