Baffles in straight pipes? Any tips?

Shovels and drag pipes go together like rum and coke. Made for each other.

Older Sportsters & drag pipes even better IMO. Hooked me at 14 years old.

Drag pipes never sound good(deep). The bigger the can(muffler) the deeper the sound, as a rule.

I'm at the other end on this, I think drag pipes sound great and the big tubes etc sound like crap. They sound 'flubbery' to me, I like the tight staccato note from 1.75" drags on a stroked shovel.

That's a great description...FLUBBERY......

i always thought my pipes were drag but someone said there slash cut but they have baffles. sounds and runs great

Those are not drag pipes. Drag pipes are one diameter from head to tip.

I have installed the cheap bolt in baffles cut down to the first triangle hole.  The ones that look like they are made by church key can openers.  I don't think they sound the best but improves straight pipe function.

Those are "Staggered Dual" pipes with built in mufflers (one piece), likely a very good setup.

If you have to run drag pipes, then put some dog balls in them.

I use them in other stuff, but they are intended for drag pipes.
