- This video includes footage from before the modification, footage of the modification on one of the exhaust, and the results of the modification. The video really does not do this modification justice, if you have a subwoofer be sure to turn it up as the modification results in a very deep exhaust tone
I have had no problems. Since the video I put the hole saw on an extension bit and drilled out the inner baffle plate as well, that makes it much better again. I also had to do a air box modification and some carb adjustments for best performance which all the info can be found on wwwdotvtxcafedotcom. One great thing is that due to the bike being louder and throatier (if that's a word), people tailgate me much less than before.....which is the biggest benefit of this mod.
You are correct, it is actually called the Hole Saw Mod, Clayton Root method is the drilled holes.
I have since done a deep hole saw modification and it sounds much better. I basically used an extension bit to drill out the next plate (about 8 inches in), I actually want to clean up the metal inside however have been unable to come up with something to grind away the left over metal on the sides. All the dremel and grinding drill pieces I could find have smooth connections so therefore will not hold in a spade bit extension. I may have to make a tool.
i wish all these guys would do their videos like you did, you covered it good man.you made it real easy to hear the difference. i can save some money, and still have a great sounding bike. and the pipes do look good so why change em? and YES loud pipes save lives. theres a blind side on every car , but not on your ears!
I'm really diggin the music at 2:00 Such fine music for drillin out the baffle on a VTX cruiser.
My 06 Honda vtx sound like that. Harley bags and fairing with 6x9 and amp. 8 1/2" HDs bars, didn't have to replace cables at all . I moved the turning light to the tag plate. 3 bolts hold the tag on remove 1 ran turning light wire n da hold hooded them up, made a plate to cover wires it look good. Peace

I adjusted the Air Fuel Mixture Screw out to 2-1/4 Turns. I have since added some holes to the inner baffle with a long drill bit, it sounds even better now.
I really like the sound after you pulled the baffles. Recently did my 2006 stock pipes too.
Do you have to rejet the carb? Or is just drilling out the baffles all you need to do?
@@JesusChrist_IsTruth-LoveForALL Wow, this is a throw-back. I haven't had the VTX for about 8 years. You don't need to rejet if you just drill the baffle, but if you have a VTX1300 that hasn't had the carb rejetted, I would do a search on the VTXCafe to find out about it. There is what they call the .5 cent mod that improves things somewhat. I eventually went for a complete pipe replacement and did change the jets. The drilled baffles is a cheap option, but it doesn't really sound that great vs. aftermarket pipes. The best sound I had on that bike was probably the Cobra slipons.
@@paulcompton9311bringing back the memories!!! 😎 Ok, thanks for all the extra info and input! I'll check out that site and think about maybe just some cobra slip one or other aftermarket. How did you like this bike? My dads looking between this and the Yamaha Raodstar. Thanks for the extra tips!
@@paulcompton9311 thanks - I was wondering how this compared to the Cobra slip ons. I will probably just do that.
Sounds much better!
Sounds good but have you noticed a loss of power in 5th gear?
As far as neabours go,"fuck em". I spent most of my life worrying about what other people thought about this and that and tipy toeing around being sure not to piss anybody off. Then I realized that nobody else gives a rats anyway, so I installed the pipes that "I" like to my xvs1100, they are bloody loud and I leave for work each day at 5:15am

Just spend the money and do it right put a good exhaust system jet kit and gut the air box when you pull up to one that has been done right you will want yours right it makes a difference run with the big dogs or stay on the porch and be a good puppy
SOUNDS GOOD MAN!!! GREAT CHOICE!! I AM THINKING ABOUT DOING THIS TO MY 2011 HONDA FURY!! =)
I've got an '09 vtx1300r and am planning on doing the same kind of thing. My only question is whether you've had any issues since doing the mod that I should watch out for? Thanks. Your bike looks great.
I realize I am kind of off topic but do anyone know of a good website to stream newly released tv shows online?
@Solomon Beau i watch on Flixportal. Just google for it =)
@Bryson Toby yup, I have been using flixportal for since march myself :D
@Bryson Toby Thank you, I went there and it seems to work :) I appreciate it !!
@Solomon Beau You are welcome xD
After is a Great Sound :)
Hey, nice mod, but how loud is now? I mean I drive a lot in the highway do you get tired of the sound after a while?
Im Zeigen it is not bad at all. It gets nice and loud when you crack on it.....I often give it a crack when nearing an intersection to get attention. The cylindrical baffle is still inside. You just remove the outer resonators here, get an extension and remove the inner vertical baffle plate and then clean it all up with a rotary tool. If I had it back I would of included the later steps in this video.
Yes, stick to the stock exhaust if you put down miles on your VTX.. Mine came to me with Cobra long speedster already installed and they sound sublime at idle and ludicrously annoying after five minutes on the freeway.
Who's Clayton Root and why does he get the credit for the holesaw mod anyway?
LOL....It was actually CBC Radio, I was listening to a radio talk show on there and just didn't change the station.
Any problems yet? I have a 2007 Vtx 1300 I need to debaffle
Nice Job. :)
Wow that looks super easy. On a suzuki its a lot more time consuming. Will this work on a honda fury...its a 1300 and there arent any vids of a stock fury debaffled
Just wondering how lean the bike is going to be running now. Burnt valves later on down the road
Check your state inspection laws NYS you have to have baffles to pass unless you plan on buying a inspection not to mention new stock ones will cost you 1400,00
Danny Baierschmitt Nobody buys new stock pipes.....LOL. The cylindrical baffles are actually still in there. It was the resonator I was actually removing in the video.......I didn't know at the time. I also took another plate out as well. But good point, I actually have to get an out of province inspection done soon on this bike as I have just moved to Alberta, who know? Maybe I will be forced into buying some HK3's soon...LOL.
Quick question does this work the same on a 2011 honda interstate 1300 ? i suppose they are the ams bike just the year different ...
Do an internet search for "Fury Hole Saw Modification" it will give you some valueable info. And don't worry, if you don't like it or mess up the pipes its just an excuse to buy some HK3's. Keeping those pipes factory really isn't an option unless you want your bile to sound like an electric motor scooter...LOL
Ouch ouch ouch ...
Oh Man!
Always tape up the chrome before you drill so you don't knick and gouge it!

If you say so
Did you do anything to your carb after you did it.
beau ray Yeah after this video I shimmed the main jet out with two 0.020" washers (I think), cut the big spring for the diaphragm for faster throttle response, cut the air box at the top to allow more air flow (Be careful there is a specific place to cut the hole so as not to bypass the filter), and bought a special tool for adjusting the air/fuel mixture screw and changed the number of turns (Sorry I forget how many now but I screwed it out to maybe 2.5 turns???). The bike runs way better now, plugs were burning bright white from factory, but now they burn a perfect tan color and the bike hardly ever needs choke (Only if very cold and even then it hardly hesitates). Everything I did I learned from www.vtxcafe.com. I also removed the reid and pair valves (emissions crap).
Derek Edwards awsome how did it run just with holesaw mod and no carb adjustment or anything else?
What about back pressure? ....
Hey Kathryn, Have not noticed any back pressure concerns. Bike feels like it has more power than before. (Although I did adjust the air/fuel mixture and shimmer the main jet in the carb, and opened up the air box afterwards. Just the drilling seemed to have little effect besides sounding a hell of a lot better. Yeah that other dude should just buy an electric motor scooter.
Can u show a video of how to adjust or where to adjust carb and is it hard to adjust main hey
Ha ha ha ha I'm not sure what to say to that, but I'm certianly not going to get into the Loud Pipes Save Lives debate here.
But if you live in the Toronto area and need a hand and tools for debaffleing your 50cc scooter pipes, swing on by. Maybe we can make that thing sound like a man's bike.
whats up with plastic fenders on those fury,s? a dude told me that , so maybe he was shittin me. good looking scoots though.
I bet your scooter is pink, eh?
Bloody hell if you whinge about this bike then you might have to take every Harley of the road they are louder
Still sounds crap.....
other then being louder,i have never seen any performance benefits from doing this to any motorcycle..you loose back pressure,HP,performance,fuel economy drops,adjust carbs..ive had 4 buddies do this to there bikes and all of them have lost HP,performance & top speed when put on a dyno machine,
I've had her up to 200KPH after this mod , main needle shim, and air box mod. What is the top speed of other 1300 VTX's?
What you are doing here is violating the law. And not just the state law, but federal law as well. You are also displaying a total disregard for the rights of the public to be free from unnecessary noise pollution. You are not cool, man. You are a inconsiderate scofflaw, as are all riders who commit the same illicit act of tampering with a state and federally noise emission control devices. You should be ashamed of yourself! I hope you get a ticket for your illicit handwork and noise making!
I'm Not Cool? Oh brother. My bike is still way quieter than many aftermarket (State approved pipes) and it runs better too. Direct your dislike to the guys that put straight pipes on their bikes.
LarryRD1958 you must be joking!
What kind of volume increase did you get? I want a slight volume increase and better sound, but I don't subscribe to the loud pipes save lives belief.
ATGATT It isn't extremely loud at Idle but is a lot louder when you rev hard. Big difference is in the deeper rumble.......turns your electric motorscooter into a motorcycle
Its a safety issue! You don’t ride i can tell!
