Vance & Hines 13017LTD 4 into 1 exhaust BAFFLE

Greetings,

I JUST installed a V&H pipe on my 1977 KZ 1000 LTD, (13017LTD) and thought, OK..... this is going to sound bad ass but it is quiet as the stock Jardines I just pulled off. Is the baffle removable on this? I removed the bolt on the end of the pipe but I did not want to start prying & pulling the baffle out. Has anyone done this before? I assume it's going to be a "STRAIGHT PIPE" and be way too loud then like a race track pipe and have to fuss around with re-jetting???? Geeze, I just blew $500 bucks on this.....not really too happy....

Any comments are welcome and soothing...... after I have a few grogs......

Buy a larger baffle or take the packing out of it.

I have a hooked tool with a handle that fits through one of the holes and use that to pull it out .......will take a little force but it will pop out and maybe take a few tries to get the bolt hole lined back up when putting it back...... I like the larger comp baffle like Steve but have never run packing on either ......... if your stock baffle is still made with a plate covering the holes at the end of the baffle (on the inside) removing that without the packing makes it even louder than the comp baffle but still street able.

Here's the difference between V&H "street" and "competition" baffles:




Good Fortune!
