V&H Noise...

How do I quiet down a V&H 4 into 1 system. Do they make replacement baffles. I have no idea model pipe.

HELP:confused:
 
In the past, V&H sold replacements, if they still make the pipe, they probably still sell the parts. Fabricating a baffel isn't that big of a deal. Someone here has just done one in the past week or so.
 
what does your pipe look like, if it comes out to the right side of the bike and is a straight shot out to the rear of the bike then it's a drag pipe, no baffle made for it. If it comes out from under the bike to the side then it should have a baffle. go to a bike shop and buy some packing for it if it's too loud for ya. Remember, Postapic, your easiest way to info for a quick way to get feedback. But all pipes aren't like that, I'm thinking V&H
 
If you want to know if it has a baffle just look in the end of the pipe.
Posplayr packs his own pipes.
That sounds funny :dancing:
 
Thanks for all the helpful info.

I don't know the age or model. All was installed by PO. Here are some pics if someone has some more info.






Thanks again
 
It looks like a street megaphone. Mine has a hex nut on the wheel side. If yours does you should be able to pull the baffle and check it out. I have not had mine out before so I am not sure if there is supposed to be any packing in there or not. Maybe someone who has had one open could chime in.
 
I don't remember seeing that nut I have to check. Meanwhile any more suggestions would be helpful.
 
I have a V&H on an 80 GS1100E and it has the hex nut to remove the baffle and glass packing inside. I remove the glass from all my pipes because they hold moisture and rot the pipe if you dont ride far enough. That doesnt answer your question but I thought they were too quiet stock. I have a 26 year old RC Engineering pipe on an 82 GPZ750 thats still good because I took the glass out. If you want quiet look for Supertrapp pipe, you can control noise with the # of discs. They have the same packing problem though
 
I found the retaining nut yesterday and tried removing the baffle. It would not come out. Pipe is a little dinged up from PO (I swear it wasn't me).

I like the steel wool pack idea. I try and pull that baffle again when I have more time and a slide hammer.

Any further ideas or wisdom will be accepted.
 
Take the muffler off and stick a broom handle or anything that fits up in there and hold the muffler up and hit the broom handle stock in the inlet side on the ground. It will come right out
 
I as recently as TWO thanksgivings ago ordered a replacement baffle and it came pre-packed from BIKE BANDIT for a VH pipe...they are still made and sold...
