I just had dealer install V&H Cruzer exhaust on my 800. man does it sound mean! so mean my wife and all the neighbors hate to see me start my bike. need advice on how to tone it down. it has removeable baffles that are wrapped in fiberglass but are a straight through design.thanks for your help.

hey x-wing thought I would tell you about my little fix I thought of for the loud exhaust. take your baffles out if you can and weld or glue with high-temp silicone metal washers about the size of the diameter of your baffle. the smaller hole in the washer restricts the sound. it seems to have worked for me. good luck.

x-wing actually I capped the motor end but you could do exit end. the washers I used had a center hole about the size of your index finger. it cut sound by one third to half. just right for me. still alot less risriction than stock exhaust. I ran this mod by my dealer. they said no problem that they have heard of that fix also
