Title: 4” Rinehart Baffle Comparison
Post by: Tommy D on July 02, 2021, 06:04:47 PM
Looking at a set of 4" Rineharts on the Tri Glide using the stock head pipe
I see there is a classic baffle & a DBX baffle available
Tech guy at Rinehart said the DBX is the preferred choice on a MKE 8 because the MKE 8 has a quieter exhaust note compared to a TC 🤷🏻‍♂️
The days of noise are behind me, wanting a stereo friendly non ear ringing tone for 200 mi day rides & doing road trips
Hopefully more accurate info is available here from the pro's

The classic baffle will be alittle quieter if that helps any if you go on you tube an look up kevin baxter rinehart did a video with him on the diffrence of the two baffles may help out your question .

I've run them both {Classic and dbx} and I have to say that the DBX is a better choice for the M8. The classic baffle was plenty loud with the twinkies, but doesn't make much sound on the M8's. I have the DBX baffles in mine with a 122" and torque cam, and the sound is perfect. When you get after it, it'll make some noise. I'm also running a high flow {no cat} header so with a cat, the sound will be somewhat less.
