Just put the 4” sticks with the 2.5” baffle on my 2021 CVO Limited …. Perfect!

I need the zombie baffles for my Indian springfield 😟 sounds awesome

Zombie all the way! I’m shopping for my 2020 road glide special now.. I think I found my slip-ons! 👍🏼

I have an '18 Indian Roadmaster with cams, AC, Bam sticks with Zombie baffles and a PVCX tune from Fuel Moto. The bike is LOUD... too loud, really. I started with the Zombies... which was loud... but as I added the AC, Cams and ESPECIALLY the tune... it got to the point where it was too much even for me lol. The bike tends to 'hitch' a lot, too. I am going to get it properly tuned, but just ordered the 2.5 baffles to quiet it down a bit before the tune. If you have an Indian... this system is truly the way to go for sound and versatility.

Awesome video! Are there DB levels for each set up?

That's awesome. I know what I'm putting on my 2019 fxbb.

I have the 2.5” baffles on my 19’ Street Glide and believe me when I say, it’s loud enough. Infact it’s just a few decibels louder than I care for but I tolerate it. Cruising over 75mph you’ll get a slight drone. Ear plugs help that situation though. Otherwise they are perfect! I love my TAB exhaust and highly recommend them to pair with your Milwaukee 8, they sound AMAZING!

Really, like your product. Are the slip-ons 50 State legal? I didn’t find anything definitive on your website. Will these fit a 2012 FLHTP (police bike)? With regular saddle bags do you suggest 4” or 4.5”? I’m not really leaning one way or the other, but I think 4.5” is the current trend.

4.5 is more popular with the stretch bags, but 4" is still very popular with the standard bags on a 12. Internally they are the same so you can go either way. The mufflers are not 50 state legal, however when paired with a stock intake and stock header that has a catalyst, they are still EPA compliant on emissions per lab testing.

Arnold Soshkin the bike will run noticeably better after a tune. We even went as far as to do a stock bike with an improved tune and were able to pick up at 2.5 on max torque as well as HP. In our opinion it does still help the bike run noticeably smoother and cooler if properly tuned.

@TABPerformance

Yes, no baffles will give you a little better horsepower and a little less torque than the zombies. It seems to be about 2 HP more and about 2 Torque less on average. Both will be improvements over stock, but then it kind of becomes a trade off. I'd recommend listening to our "all baffle comparison video and deciding on sound though, as 2 units on either side are not enough for the average rider to "feel" when driving. If you run either type properly tuned, you will notice performance gains on both ends. Side note, the non-baffled has a substantially higher chance of bluing the pipe if not properly tuned.

Tyrone Shoelace please see the attached video. This is with an aftermarket header and dyno tuned by a customer of ours. The results are actually very good on the zombies in this set-up compared to other baffles with more back pressure. kzread.info/dash/bejne/i4artNWQeLW7YdY.html long story short, this is not a good thing to just use as a rule of thumb as it matters what has been done to the bike. If you have cams even with an aftermarket header you will perform well with the zombies. If you have a stock head pipe, you will also perform pretty well even without motor work. Most technicians just give you a blanket statement of "if it is louder, it is more open and thus less torque due to back pressure" which is an ok general rule, but not universally accurate. Back Pressure is not necessarily good, it is more important to have the right amount of restriction causing exhaust velocity that completes scavenging to help with torque. See this video for info on that. kzread.info/dash/bejne/a46X1bxxYtvHXdY.html
