    Removing Baffle?

    What's up Gang?

    I have a 83 gs1100e with a kerker header and pods and it is jetted. I wanted to know what would happen if I remove the baffle from my exhaust?

    Thanks, Supavert

    It will get obnoxiously loud, for starters. It may mess up your carb settings. Why would you want to remove it?

      Not only will it upset your carb jetting requirements, it will cause all your neighbors to hate you.

      Personal opinion here, but straight pipes only belong on race tracks. Any other time the bike is being used, you are not requiring it to breathe all it possibly can, and even a pipe with the most restrictive baffle (can you say stock pipe?) will breathe enough for that.

        My baffle gave way on my 550 kerker exhaust and it is loud as sh1t. I would not recommend it.
