2.25" Louvered Core Baffles (Medium)
I bought a slip on exhaust from these guys but it was too noisy to keep, I had a headache for 2 days. It's probably my naivety but looking at chatter regarding the exhausts, it did say you may want to go with the 2.25" louvered baffles as the zombie version was very loud. After watching multiple video's & TAB being the only after market exhaust system that I found for the 2025 indian scout bobber I bought the 2.25" louvered baffle slip on. It may just be me but i didn't expect it to be that loud. This is the first time i've put on an aftermarket slip on. I rode around the block with it and I couldn't hear anything apart from the exhaust and by the time i got back my ears where ringing & I had a headache. I also turned over the bike without the slip on attached and it wasn't much quieter with just the pipe! I've bought a DB killer and put that at the point of connection of the slip on, that brought the volume down but only by a decibel or two but which is not enough. I will try with the mid & an end DB killer and see what that does but I'll probably try and sell it, there's got to be some lunatic that likes it that loud. I did speak with TAB regarding this thinking that they may have sent me the zombie slip on by mistake but after photo's sent they confirmed it was the louvered. They also said because of the size of the slip on there's not much difference between the zombie and the louvered in sound and there's not much that can be done about it. So i wish i'd known about that in the first place but hey ho, an expensive door stop as I paid £407 & then £75 in duty to get it to the uk. Edit: I've found some DB killers that reduce the sound, so for an extra £40 I was able to get the exhaust to an acceptable sound level and I'm a happy bunny!
