F&R, I sincerely appreciate you doing this video my guy. I wanted to know what that reducer would sound like vs the louvered baffle and I will keep my louvered baffle in. The decel from louvered is a sound that can’t be imitated, I mean I LOVE that sound. Great video and comparison💯🤙🏾💪🏾

Great comparison video! I have the header 2:2 4.5” kit was waiting to be installed with a dyno. Waiting for the louvered baffles to arrive. I have a 2009 FLHTCHSE 4 with a fair amount of engine work done. Have had D&D Fat Cat 2 into 1 for the past 12 years. Looking forward to my new exhaust. Thanks again for your review!

Great question. This video i already had a cam and khromewerks full system on it.

Thank you Sir! You just helped me make my decision. I just purchased a 24 CVO RG in legendary orange. The bike is stunning, but as you know, it sounds like a sewing machine. Based on your video, I'm going with the louvered baffles and will place my order tomorrow morning. Your CVO looks really sharp. Thanks again.

Very nice job on the video !! I just purchased the full system, Outlaw 2 into 1, three step header with the ghost pipe for my RKS (122ci). My header side muffler has a 2.5 inch "high flow absorptive baffle" with a 3 inch reverse cone to maximize torque. It comes that was right out of the box and I anticipate that I'll run it that way without using any of the "inserts" you mention.

First off thanks for taking the time to make the video. Awesome job! I just purchased the 23 cvo road glide and installed the KW mufflers they sound awesome but I do feel a little loss in botton end torque. So am going to order the louvered baffles as you recommend and see if I can get that torque back. Also I just subscribed to your channel. Thanks!

I didn’t add the reducer to the louvered baffles, I only tried one or the other. Not sure what adding reducer to louvered baffles would do

Great info, thanks for sharing. I just purchased the 2023 CVO recently and had the Khrome werks slip-ons installed, bike is stock and they sound great, but i immediately noticed a dip in torque. I ordered the louvered baffles and will install them as soon as i get them, but wondering if I should get the KW performance baffles instead. Its hard finding data about KW and determining what baffle to use, but your video helped a lot. thank you

Thanks for the review. I have a 21 RGS, 114, stage 2 (cam very similar to RS468), KW dominator 2-2, Stealth AC and PV with dyno tune. 119/130. I have the tongued Performance baffle. Works very well and makes great TQ and power. I'm happy with the sound and think it's actually loud when on the throttle. I would like to try the louvered just to see how it is. IMO, when you installed the reducer with the louvered inserts you made a performance baffle. The reducer adds back pressure which the M8 needs for full potential. Ultimately, I'm going to switch to a KW 2-1. I'm a 2-1 guy but they were unavailable due to supply when I did my build but for now, the 2-2 works great. I also run the full Wilbers suspension. Installed them Nov of 21. You will love them.

@@jasonsaxton156 There are 4 inserts (Baffles). 1) Performance (perforated) that has an adjustable tongue for back pressure and max performance. 2) Louvered. 3) Ripper (just a straight through tube). There is now also the reducer which is just a round plate with a center hole and cone shaped exit. The reducer also adds back pressure. M8's want back pressure with a good dyno tune.

Great video once again my friend! I’m on a similar journey. 2019 Road Glide Special 114 with S&S 475 and KW 2-1-2 Dominator dyno tuned by Trask Performance. I tried the Reducers as well based on John’s video and like you I liked the low RPM improvement but much preferred the deeper sound without baffles. I’m now running DK Customs 158 Thunder Torque Inserts. The low rumble is as good (maybe better) as no baffles but with reversion improvement in the low end. This may be my long term solution 😂 BTW, you need the longer thread bolt option with the Khrome Werks to center the TTI’s.

@@jasonsaxton156 no, I installed the torque insert in the ripper baffle close to the mounting holes. I just tried keeping the DK torque insert in the right side and in the left side running a ripper and a reducer baffle in tandem. Wasn’t the easiest to line up the holes but I think it’s my favorite for long rides. It’s a less harsh and is a little deeper. For running around town a ripper in the left and a ripper in the right but with a DK torque insert is my favorite for sounding bad ass. It’s the closest to Cycle Fanatic,s 2 into 1 that sounds amazing.
