During the 'horse and buggy era' some folks would insert a megaphone into their horse's rectum. This ampliphied the sound of the exhaust, thus saving many lives.
The practice also seemed to improve performance.
And, most people liked the enhanced sound of the horse.
lol! Thanks for watching... Loud horses save lives...
@Abel Warren yep it worked, I got through to your girlfriends Instagram
@@shindogoo1899 😆😆😆
Dude, you are totally me when I try to do seemingly easy mechanical ambitions. Cheers!
Nothing like browsing exhaust tip videos until 3am and then thinking there's a fly on my screen. Bravo sir
Planned on doing this & now I know exactly what to do & what not to do... BTW, love your honesty & attitude!!!
Thanks! Glad to help! Ride safe... and LOUD
Thanks just bought the same bike and have been shamefully riding feeling like I'm on a electric moped... Can't wait to get off work and do this
did u do it?
Excellent video bro, thanks for taking the time to share.
Thanks for doing the hard yards in order to be able to show us the easy way of doing this job. ;)
I did the same yesterday,and the sound is much much better ,:) thank's for upload.
Glad to help! Have fun and ride safe! And LOUD!!
Is it the same with the Marauder ?
thanks im gonna try it on my bike to remove the baffles your video was really good and makes me think i can do it which is a good thing
Thank you for the video. This helped me tremendously
Took out the baffles on my vance and Hines pipes. Lasted 1 day before i put them back on. My VH pipes were loud enough the way there were.
Baffles ?! they don’t baffle much, I ended up taking mine out, cutting them in half, welding a big washer in there and then back together to quieter the bloody thing down, used to give me an earache and I felt a bit obnoxious in suburbia. (XL1200 Sportster)
Ah...now THAT sounds soooo much better!
SoopaBee I know right! Love how she sounds now!
Thank you. I watched your vid once and searched through all of the other ones to find it again. Your the only one that actually shows what you have to do to open one of these up. I'm super curious if eliminates the backfireing and if yours runs any better afterwards. Thanks again. Speed safely!:-)
Hey Mike, thanks for watching! I haven't had any issues with backfiring, or anything else for that matter.
It's been 3 or 4 years since I did the de-baffle and I have had no issues at all... She doesn't run hot, doesn't leak or burn oil, doesn't backfire... I didn't change anything else on the bike. Oil changes and a tune up last year, that's it.
Hope that helps! Have a safe ride!
The backfireing is probably more to do with either fuel getting old and stale or carbs need to be rebuilt.
When that 20 min job turns into 2 hours 😂😂
So helpful thank you 😊
Sounds great
😂😂 I hear myself in every minute 😂😂
sounds niiiice.
Filthy Frenchfry Thanks man!
Can anyone tell me if this will work the same for a 98-200 intruder?
Also, what's the noise like compared to a set of Vance and Hines Longshots? Anyone know?
Dan R I’m with you on this one I was looking to get some aftermarket pipes but this is much cheaper and hope it sounds as good
Thanks for your sacrifice so I won't have to fight mine for hours. I just picked up a 95 vs800 Intruder and want to do the same. Were there any carb adjustments needed after the de-baffle?
I've heard a lot of people say they had to re-jet because it runs lean after you remove the baffles, However, I haven't had any issues... I may have been running rich before hand, not really sure. She runs like a top now and sounds awesome...
Thanks for watching!
I appreciate your prompt response and the great instructional video. As soon as my bike gets out of the shop, I am going to do this same procedure. Ride on.

Hej afterburner did you do it on you'r vs800? thinking to doing it to. did you noticed the pipes got louder? and had any troubles?
Thanks for this. The top muffler on my 04 has started to separate from the lower one so I was going to get some Cobras. Now that I have seen this I can try this first. Then just bolt the upper to the lower pipe. If it works this will save me $$$ to blow on something else for the bike.
Glad I could help... Good luck, hope it works for you!
Two questions.
First, I live on top of a hill in a sleepy residential neighborhood. Is it going to be so loud to piss off the neighbors. We currently get along well and I'd like to keep it that way.
Second, I just got the corroborators on my 2002 Marauder rebuilt and it runs so perfect now. Am I going to screw it up with de-baffled pipes?
Short answer? Maybe and maybe...
1- My bike is definitely louder than stock, but not so loud that it rattles windows and such. If you don't rev too much or idle too long, it shouldn't upset your neighbours.
2- If you just had the carbs adjusted, you will need to have them re-adjusted and possibly re-jetted after removing the baffles. My bike was running quite rich before and seems to be running fine now. I have read that most people need to re-jet their carbs when they de-baffle or else the bike will run lean and hot. I guess I got "lucky" with mine.
Hope that helps. Thanks for watching and ride safe!
Hey man. Been a few years since you did this . I read all the comments just wondering if it ever ran lean or any issues ? Repeat question I know sorry just thought might be a update . I want to do this for a year or so till I can afford a exhaust lol thanks again
So far, So good! I haven't had any issues at all... Thanks for watching!
Braap Tastic thanks for the quick reply . I just got mine would like to do this but was worried it would run to lean . But it's been a few years since you did yours so I think I should be good eh.
Sounds good btw thanks for the video good job
Good luck!! Hope it goes a little easier than mine did!!
Thanks I might try this. Are there any draw backs to taking them out? Does it cause pre mature rusting where it was drilled out?
I haven't noticed any changes in how the bike runs. Some people have had to re-jet the carbs because it was running lean, but I think maybe I was running rich before, because she seems to run like a top now.
I'm doing that to mine thanks buddy u know any cheap ways to make some 🐎 power
Any adverse impact on the valve systems after the de-baffling?
Not as far as I know. She runs fine. I have had a tune-up and a couple of oil changes done since then, and no problems...
@@BraapTastic It would really be beneficial to get bigger jets for your carburetor or carburetors. Your performance will increase.
If you want it really loud just unbolt the mufflers and they should slide off and it’ll be straight pipes really loud
Its been about a year. How's the bike doing? I just picked up an '01 Marauder (which I can tell needs to have the carbs cleaned and adjusted, especially if I do anything like this) and I'm checking out the DIY stuff for it. Do you have any other modifications to the bike? Sounds great, by the way. The stock sound is so wimpy.
I've done absolutely nothing to the drive train except to remove the baffles. The bike runs great and I haven't had any issues so far.
It's a fun bike to ride without all the extra stuff on it. I had a windshield, back seat, sissy bar, luggage rack, and saddle bags. Probably lost a hundred pounds when I stripped it all off.
Definitely not a sport bike, but quick enough in town and comfortable enough for the highway.
And she sounds waaaaaay better than stock!!
Good luck with yours! Let me know how it turns out.
A loud exhaust does not make a Marauder safer but makes us bikers even more unpopular.
I admit that I have also made my 50 cc Kreidler louder, but that was 1978 and I was 16. A grown man should think a little further here.MyVZ800 is loud enough with an approved exhaust.
The fact that you watched this video shows that the thought of removing your baffles has crossed your mind a time or two.
well i was thinking how to do it, so i youtube'd it lol
you should have done the say bro lol
happy days bud
Fair enough! Hopefully my mistakes will help someone else avoid a few of their own!
Good Video, in Germany Police would take only 1 look at your exhaust and would shut down your bike. They are going after Bikers hard in Germany, closing whole areas for Bikers, special Speedlimits (ofc bikers have to drive even slower than cars) only for Bikers, really nasty stuff happening here. Goodbye freedom. 🤮
Damnn dude I so want to de baffle my 125 now but I don't want to ruin the stock exhausts 😂
I have a Suzuki GZ 125 Marauder and want to debaffle it also but not sure if it would pass an MOT with no baffles..mmm I wonder if I could bribe the tester with some waffles.😅
"Swearing, cursing, fighting", with you there man.
id want louder pipes too, but whats that thing about back pressure
I'm not a mechanic (obviously) but from what I can tell, it runs just fine. It's been nearly 4 years since I did the de-baffle and I've had it in the shop for an oil change a couple of times, tune up and new tires last summer... Zero issues so far.
Hi, is it very loud or just a better sound?
I don’t want problems with neighbours :p
Thanks!
Hey good work & a great sound! Today I bought a 02 VZ800 from my neighbor who moved out of state, and I am going to do the same thing to it. I really haven't even had a chance to ride it, but it seems to be a nice & well made bike.
well if there's no cons I'll probably go for it!
Krasnej zvuk...
hey bro, have you run into any issues after doing this? i have the same bike and would like to try this but im worried it could ruin the bike... any info?
Atama Moore I did the de-baffle 2 years ago and haven't had any problems yet. Bike runs fine.
You'll need to re-jet the carbs. This is stupid
I did this to mine but now my carb needs to be rejetted and ive lost a lot of power from the engine
Sorry to hear that. I haven't noticed any loss of power, and I didn't need to adjust or re-jet. I may have been running rich before I did the baffle-ectomy...
Hey did you get the issue resolved Fly? I Just bought a Marauder with no baffles and it runs a little funny sometimes. Sounds great though
Any backfiring now?
Sorry for taking so long to reply. I haven't had any issues with backfiring at all, She runs just fine as far as I can tell. Louder, but that's it.
You can smooth those rough edges with a Dremel
need a chip if fuel injected, or re-jet once done with a carb..
But you did good 😊
you would get a lot more views if you title it something like how to debaffle an exhaust on a motorcycle and then put the type of bike in the title at the end:) Trust me on this one! Just the tips you learn:)
NicheRiding Thanks again, Bro! Learn something new everyday, right?!
Braap Tastic glad to help, that's why I keep subscribing to many new guys off of ourmoto website to help them build a sub base as well as help them with their videos to make them even better!
It is appreciated!
did it effect the tuning much im looking at doing this to my vz800
+Craig Rose As far as I can tell, it hasn't had any effect on the way she runs. I've checked the plugs and they look clean. I feels better... And sounds WAYYYYY better.
Overall, I recommend doing it. It's fairly easy, and it has made my rides that much more fun!!
did u have to rejet have the same bike and nervous about it
I haven't changed anything else in the power train. I'm not a mechanic, but I haven't noticed anything. She runs fine, power and fuel economy haven't changed. She doesn't run hot or use oil. I didn't pull the plugs to check the colour. Not sure how to check for rich/lean other than that.
Thanks for watching, hope this helps.
Ride safe!
+Braap Tastic should say, haven't pulled the plugs this year yet. At the end of last season, they were good.
If loud pipes save lives, why do so many people pull out in front of Harleys?
I can't beet the last two comments.
Loud pipes don't save lives good technique does. To each his own God bless you bro.
You're right loud pipes don't save lives..
They steal wives
What's up
I want to put some baffles back in my bike is loud as hell Suzuki intruder 1500 but that may be how God wants it.amen
There are 3 pop rivets you can drill out, and then just pull them out without destroying them! And then you need to re-jet the carbs, or you'll be sorry. PS., this is a stupid thing to do just to think it makes your bike sound "cool".
Thanks for watching! Everyone is entitled to their own opinion... I like how it sounds.
I dunno who told u to rejet the carb but b4 u go rednecking some one on their video u may wanna look things up u don't have to rejet the carb the baffles are for cutting down noise on a bike it doesn't hurt compression it simply takes gets rid of the noise reduction.. I have mechanic for 20 years and have removed baffles on many many bikes and never had to rejet the carb.. and pending on his bike it may even be fuel injected then what replace the fuel injection. Come on man be honest do u have a clue of what u are saying or u just one of those guys that has something to say negative abt everything... Good job brother on the bike if u ever do it again u can stick u a broom handle in the baffle after u remove the ring and just move the baffle up and down and it will break the baffles welds and it will slide straight out
@@budbud9925 if you're a mechanic you should know this bike has dual carbs. Reducing back-preasure buy removing the baffles affects fuel scavenging and creates other problems, such as running too lean, thus the need to re-jet. I think maybe it's you that needs to be negative about everything.
@@zoltanvonsomogyi7272 Hey!
Just so you know, it's been 4 years since I made this video. I have ridden the same bike every season since then.
I don't know if the bike was running rich before the video, but it doesn't seem to be running lean now.
I have had oil changes and tune ups done at a reputable shop, and no mention of carb issues...
I am NOT a mechanic, but I have had the bike looked at by licensed mechanics and they have not brought up any problems.
Thanks again for watching! cheers!
@@BraapTastic Bottom Line: It's your bike, you bought it to enjoy. Some clowns just don't get it. Do what you want with whats yours and by sharing it with others we get a chance to also enjoy. Thanks for all your cussing and wasted money for tools you didn't need. You my friend had ALL the fun while we could ONLY watch :)
CANT HEAR YOU......
youre supposed to get it Tuned & Jetted
No. Not good sound. Sounds like a broken exhaust. Oh, i forgot, it's broken exhaust!
Oh ya, one more thing.....removing the baffle removes the spark arresting system, so you go along the highway lighting the dry grass ditches on fire, and burning down peoples barns....unknowingly. Just put the baffle back on for everyone else's sake.....for goodness sake.
just delete the pairing valve and that problem is gone
Loud pipes don't save any lives. No more than farting makes people notice you more in a good way in a room.
Great comparison, you just rebuffed your own statement, loud pipes do save lives. side by side to a car that doesn't see you or in their blind spot, they hear you. Like FARTING in a crowd, they don't like it, but they look for the perpetrator.
Tell us you're not a biker without telling us you're not a biker
@@justinhardwick4047 I have a 1983 Honda CM450 and 1985 Honda CMX250 Rebel I use as daily drivers. Previous brilliant hill billy owner of the Rebel had shoved a broomstick handle up the mufflers to bust them through and make it sound louder.
@@choppergirl you can't even speak English, I'm not about to respect your opinion. I own 7 bikes with loud pipes.
@@justinhardwick4047 Nobody wants to hear your loud motorcycle when you crank it up at 6am to go to work.
The louder the bike, the lower the IQ of the rider. Everyone knows this but the riders.
what are you saying........ I can't hear you my bike is too loud. In case you don't understand, ONLY the RIDERS care.
You could have saved all that swearing and money by not fucking with a perfectly good exhaust and buying one worth a shit and not having a choked out bike bc u fucked with the carb settings a tad by taking that baffel out
Absolute nonsense, loud pipes are obnoxious. Loud pipes do not save lives. There is no evidence of that only falsely reported examples by self absorbed motorcyclists. The sound comes out the back, you are moving forward. So unless you are in reverse.......you get the logic? Pure and utter nonsense. Good luck with that, the ER staff are waiting for people like you, daily. Simply take this advice....don't rely on the sound of your bike to save your life. It sounds as dumb as it is......
The title was a joke. The video is over 3 years old. Thanks for watching...
OK Braap, I get your drift. To answer your question does it run worse? In theory your fuel efficiency goes down with improperly changing an exhaust back pressure without retuning. It all depends on how you define running worse. My experience is that the throttle response changes, for the worse. But, like I say, I get your drift. You are changing the sound of the bike to more your liking and know little about mechanics and engine performance. Thats is fairly typical I would say of people who make these types of modifications, its a learning curve. When I was small young boy in the country, in Alberta, we removed our baffles and raised hell, were brought back home by the RCMP with our bikes stuffed in the trunk of the cruiser, just in time for the latest episode of the Dukes of Hazard. SInce then its careful thinking, like leaving it stock, or fine tuning the engine with new aftermarket pipes and mufflers etc. Basically what you are doing is illegal, noise bylaws. You don't see people drilling out there car exhausts to make them louder. You may think its cool, but many, many people are completely offended by your loud bike, and only people like me will say so, in many forms. In many cities throughout the world, your bike would be ticketed and towed. Slowly cities in Canada are catching on, but I wouldn't hold out any hope for that ever happening in Alberta.....Freedom. Freedom doesn't mean you can do what ever the f you want. But hey, I will say the protest called rolling thunder claimed to be doing things by the book, but having no mufflers, is NOT, by the book. So if thats your clan, your group, we are all f'd, cause there is little that can be done to change such mindsets, we just have to put up with you loud bike types. Save the loud pipes for the race track where the real motorcycles and motorcyclists gather. Please enough of the nonsense and put your baffles back in or at least purchase a new set of "slip ons" with some modified sound you might like. Open pipes, man, that is just stupid.
@@greyfisher3897 Ok. Here's the deal. I'm a leftist politically. I live in RURAL Alberta. My wife and I are an Orange dot in a sea of Blue, if you will. The FluTruxClan are NOT my people!!!!
I know it's not a legal exhaust. I very rarely ride in a populated area, and if I lived in any big city, I would have been ticketed and or impounded by now...
That said, I wanted to do this. This was my first attempt at vehicle modification of any kind. Since then, I have learned to do more service and maintenance on my own. I have changed oil, and replaced chains, and chased down electrical gremlins, added LED turn signals, etc, etc, and so forth...
As for LOUD pipes, I won't be doing that again. I got my fix and you're right, there is a time and place for modified/performance exhaust. I didn't do it for performance, I did it for the sound on an old bike with 800cc's of pure v-twin muscle!!(lol)
I appreciate your input, and I mostly agree with you. Cheers!
@@BraapTastic Interesting how the point surfaces in this dialogue. In reference to loud motorcycles and the owners that modify them to be that way. Reminding you that these machines are mandated to be sold from the factory to have a certain decibel level, as they are being used in public, urban spaces, around people. Left and Right people. I would say, as a guess that the right wingers remove baffles more often then left wingers, just a wild guess. I don't care about anybody but myself mentality, look at me mentality, and loud pipes save lives (to justify this) mentality. You downplay that you are preaching, though you have posted video speaking of this, with the title, how to make you bike illegally loud, to be used in a public space around other innocent people going about their daily routines, like shopping for groceries. You keep going on the defensive and I keep on the offensive, because loud pipes offend me politically. The noise from the trucker movement was idiotic, they should be ashamed of themselves. People who blame the dog for barking, when it is their dog as an analogy is useful. You have a responsibility to others to shut the f up with your obnoxious modifications to your motorcycle. It gives motorcyclists a bad name. Align your orange dot in the sea of blue with the appropriate respect for others in your community, an orange ideology moreso.....community, others in it too. Not just you.
