Best video I found on this. After ordering an exhaust system for $450 they sent me the wrong parts so now I have to return the exhaust. I went to home Depot, bought the drill bits for $30 and did it exactly how you did here and voila, it sounds just how I wanted it to. Now I can use the money from the other exhaust system for custom chrome. Thanks for the vid!
Danny, I'm amazed at the amount of negativity in the comments. Obviously a lot of these people have never ridden a motorcycle. I THANK YOU for your video.
Just finished this mod on my bike earlier today while swapping tires as well. I gotta say, it feels like I'm riding a new bike now. Just the pipes alone sound so much better than they did before. It actually sounds like a real bike now, and not some overpowered moped, lol. Thanks for the awesome vid 👍
I'm pleased with the results after doing this it up the sound a little bit from a moped to really the sound of a 250 motorcycle that's got a nice smooth sound to it no backfiring I live in South Carolina so there's no emission laws like California Loud pipes save lives
Sounds good! Bet there are multiple baffles in there. It's his bike, he can do what he wants. He's not forcing anyone to do it but was nice enough to make a video to show "how-to" in case you did want to.
@@tooljst8 well if we all did what everyone else does then we wouldn't be individuals. Therefore we ARE individuals because we DON'T do what everyone else does. Everyone else is a self absorbed pitiless society of fucktards. IMHO! Just saying
@@theone2be33 Thanks for doing what you want bro. And thanks for sharing. And if a woman says, "Do what you want" Make sure you second guess yourself before you wreck yourself.
Steph, I didn't change anything on my bike after doing this, but I love in a pretty warm climate. I don't know if changes would be needed in other climates. I can say that it's been a year and a half since I did this and I STILL don't regret it. :)
Contane 21, Yes I think it would work for a starter size. However, I think a Honda Shadow 750 would be better for you. It's a little smaller and lighter but still really fun to ride.
It took me forever to do this. The plate was easy to remove but on the newer models there's a thicker weld on the inside baffle. I just rode around without the plate for a while. I would wiggle the baffle occasionally. One time when I was riding the lower baffle came out while on the road. I didn't see where it went. The top pipe was still baffled, a few months ago I saw that it was very loose but the flange was still hung up on the inside. After wiggling it and using pliers I managed to get it pulled out. The bike sounds a lot better. I still would like to get new pipes put on at some point.
Funny how so many people hate on this guy modding his bike. Since you are too childish in the mind let me give you some valuable advise. Things do not last forever, you do not last forever, stock exhaust is cheap as hell due to most people trashing them and buying aftermarket. Why do you give a shit about what someone else does to their own property? It is simple if it floats his boat then good to go even if it has negative ramifications.
Followed this video and worked out great..A little work to get them out but well worth it. Thanx..Sounds super. Cost me $16 for the saw kit at Harbor Frieght.
I will go to Harbor Freight later and I wonder what saw kit you get if you don't mind. Because it is impossible for me to stack two hole saw on one as in the vid. Thx
Best part about your mod is that if something goes wrong you can buy a set of used stock pipes for next to nothing or buy a set of V&H and throw these in the bin.
I wish I would've seen this earlier. I just installed a set of Vance & Hines Cruisers. I love them but I would've tried this first to see if I'd like the sound. Because I get a lot of compliments from my V & H's Cruisers. Especially with baffles out.
I took a drill bit and board four holes on each pipe and if I didn't not like that sound I would do two more on each pipe until I get the sound that I liked. Now the problem was I did that with an 03 Volusia with the carburetor and they had to readjust the carb. I just thought I'd bring that up if anybody who tries this if they take off and there's a lot of hesitation you need to get that carburetor adjusted
I don't think people on here know there is another set of very restrictive baffles up further in each pipe. This mod does not make it an open pipe exhaust.
damn. And here I was about to order a whole new set of aftermarket pipes (which probably would have costed hundreds). Now is also the perfect time for me to do it since I gotta change my rear tire anyway, not that I need the bike jacked up in order to do that, but still, 2 birds with 1 stone. Home Depot here I come!! **UPDATE** I actually went to harbor freight instead of HD. They had a better deal on a cordless drill kit, as well as a 1500 pound Motorcycle lift jack, which will definitely come in handy for removing my rear tire since it went flat the other day (Shinko is a garbage tire brand BTW, probably gonna get Pirelli or something else next)
I've got a c109r. Going to try this this weekend. With 1800cc ut should sound much louder :-) hopefully baffles are similar in my slipons. They look almost the same
After watching another video on a person who changed his stock pipes and air filter doesn't mean your bike is going to run faster or give you more horse power, all your bike is going to do is make more noise. In fact you could be losing horse power because your bike's computer isn't programmed to the modifications you did to your bike. The other video the bike was put on a dyno and it's computer was reprogrammed to run with the new modifications.
No fuel injection lights, bike runs WAY better, sounds Awesome, and no I don't have to worry about rust because I live in Oklahoma. I did this a year ago and still don't regret my decision. :)
doesn't the motor need those baffles for some blowback resistance to the motor? will doing this harm the engine and/or the engine life? I would like to do this to my 1999 honda nighthawk 750.
Well, it's kind of like putting Flowmaster exhaust on a car which will then have less back pressure. You won't gain much horsepower in the car unless you also change out the intake. The more air in = the more air out. I haven't changed the intake or anything on my bike. The only thing I've really gained is a deeper tone and MAYBE a little more power. I can say that I still don't regret doing this and still don't have problems with my bike. :)
I've had plenty of bikes with the baffles taken out and they did sound like s*** this particular bike sounds like a moped with stock pipes I took the baffles out and it sounded perfect nothing crazy no backfiring and not really that loud
Fantastic easy mod. The manufacturer baffles sound and has the resonators in there for a reason... to keep emissions down and noise because they are governed to. This just makes the bike sound like they wanted it to sound in the first place.
Sooo you can always weld the baffler on the plate, and the plate in the exhaust. I think that will work :) Gonna do this on my M800 intruder, looks like det same exhaust.
I got a C90T with cobra after market exhaust. It’s quiet when I want it so..! And sounds off like a HD when I want it so.... I was lucky, I bought it used, with 6700 miles on a 2008 less then 4 years ago. Guy that owned it before , liked looking at it in the garage. It looked and still drives like brand new. Nearing 40.000 miles... I ride it all the time. New tires, change oil.... that’s it! Try and buy a HD that’s shiny and new for 4K.... 90 cubic inch... 1500cc.... I stole this bike🤗
Hey Danny, I’ve got the same bike but it’s a 2013. Same pipes I believe too so I should just be able to do the same thing you did in your video to mine right? I like the exhaust but it’s a little too quiet for me.
This sounds like my c50 boulevard, I bought it off some family and they cut the exhaust right back, I don’t know if your exhaust is the same but when my dad test rode it we heard it the whole time and he went far
I've noticed this video is 6 years old. Did you notice any negative engine performance in the long term? I just bought one of these bikes last summer. Really like it and I've thought of doing something similar but just a little leery.
I just sold that bike about 4 months ago exactly how it was in this video. Never had any issue with running, performance, or anything. The ecu self calibrates air/fuel mixture so no tune needed either.
@@SchofieldRacing awesome. Most of the videos I've seen are on the previous models that were carbureted. Love mine so far. Might do this. Thanks for the video and the reply.
MrBiggDoggB I am still very happy with it, no issues with performance at all plus a little extra on the top end. If you live in an area with extreme weather or drive in the rain a lot spray paint the inside of the pipe with high heat black paint to prevent rust. I don't drive in the rain and don't have rust issues. 🙂
I wish I knew why I can’t get the 3” to cut. I’m using a bi-metal hole saw made by craftsman. The 1.5” hole cut perfect (I was unable to fit both sizes on arbor) but now I can’t get the 3” cut. It frustrating.
Hey Danny, I just bought a 2013 C50T. Saw your video and am thinking about doing this to mine. How loud are they at high RPM's? Does it just make them deeper sounding or do they get really loud at higher speeds?
I just finished doing this mod to my 07 C50 earlier today. It sounds great and honestly does not sound too loud going at higher speeds on the freeway. The stock pipes are insanely quiet to begin with, and from what I understand, these baffles at the very end aren't the only baffles in the stock pipes. I love the way my bike sounds now. It's not quite as loud as your typical Harley, but its damn close and definitely has a deeper pitch to it now. Before, these pipes were so quiet, it didn't even sound like a real bike. Now it sounds like a true bike and I feel like I can get an approving vibe of any other bike enthusiasts I pass by. And besides, even if it is too loud for some people, #LoudPipesSaveLives
@@ganonpig I went ahead and did mine last year after I submitted that question, and yes...they sound great, lost about 7 to 10 miles per tank but I can live with that......
@@NCHAAK really? I didn't think this mod would have that kind of affect. Are you sure it's because of the mod and not something else? I'll have to ride mine around more and see if my mpg changed much
I put Vance and Hines on my wifes Road Star but I had to change the carb jets..I know this is fuel injection but is there anything you have to adj for fuel flow????? Thanks for the Video
I recently bought a C50 Boulevard with the baffling already taken out. I can't ride the bike on long rides because when it gets hot it wants to shut itself off. I'm told it's because someone knocked the baffling out and messed up the back pressure. Now I have to get a tuner for it or buy new exhaust.
Sounds like they took the secondary baffles out as well or maybe a complete different issue causing it to shut off. I still have this bike and have zero problems with it.
Okay please help I have a 2000 v star and the baffle already broke off the weld but it's stuck loose in there because there's a metal plate and I can't get it out
On the 05 mine is fuel injection.. what did you have to do with the fuel system before you can cut the baffles out? Mine runs rich as hell most of the since I bought the bike with 2500 miles on it back in 07.. now I got 95k on it and it still runs rich... I have not touched the exhaust yet...
I didn't change anything with my fuel system before or after removing the baffles. If your system is working as it should, it will automatically calibrate with the change of the Air/Fuel mixture. You may have a bad Air/Fuel ratio sensor causing it to run rich.
@@SchofieldRacing kewl I been trying to find what could cause it to run rich. Where is it located on the bike? I got the hole saw dril but I got to see if there is one big enough.. I can't remember the sizes. Thanks, I appreciate the ideas on the fuel problem.
@@SchofieldRacing hey Danny, I tried to look up o2 sensors on my bike.. it doesn't have one. Instead it has a pair valve that allows fresh air in to the exhaust after it leaves the cylinder. They main complaint is they get stopped up and the bike popped back through the exhaust. Mine was just out right running rich. So I followed the guys advice, and for the first time since '08 my bike will idle on it's own and smooth as silk without having to rev up the engine to keep the bike running. I'm extremely happy at the moment. Thanks for encouraging me to do a Google search that has cured a problem the Honda shops couldn't.
Have you changed the spark plugs since doing this? Wondering if the bike is running more lean or rich? Ive done this recently and was thinking of adding a K&N filter but dont want to lean it out more than what it should be..
Robbie R, I have not changed plugs. I did a lot of research prior and since it is fuel injected it should calibrate itself. If your bike has a carburetor it will have to be adjusted. Let me know if you have any issues, I would like to add a K&N to mine as well.
I had a 02 Volusia and put Cobra pipes on it. I had to put bigger jets in the carbs and you wouldn't believe the difference it made in the way it ran, way more throttle response. Yours sounds pretty good, but nothing sounds as good as strait Cobras.
I bought them off eBay. There are several sellers that have them. This link is for a seller with the same ones but I did not use this particular seller, just FYI www.ebay.com/itm/172034056373
Nope, the fuel injection system will calibrate on its own. You can add a commander if you are also wanting to add power, but not necessary on a 2009 C50.
I searched "hard saddle bags Motorcycle" on eBay and found them. I just looked again and found them again but they don't have a brand name. They are listed for $79.50 for the set. I like them, no issues.
@@heavystorm1406 I live in Oklahoma and we don't have state vehicle inspections, doesn't affect me here. Not sure how much it changes the overall emissions, i wouldn't think much for a baffle though.
@@SchofieldRacing well I decided to have a go at it. Not happy camper right now. In 1 ¹/² pipe has least 5 smaller pipes running along with it which prevents it from wiggling alot. And the hole saw blades I spent 40 bucks on only allowed me to get my sawzall started..lol. I'm going to try to get those inner pipes out this afternoon but holy cow it's a pain. But as far as I can see there's no deep inner baffles...ill let ur fans know on this if it works and how bike runs afterwards cause idk what will happen lol
I was thinking of doing this to my 2005 Suzuki c50 five years ago. I'm glad I didn't go through with it, so are my family and neighbours. It's kind of childish to want a loud bike at my age, I'm 50+.. Do what you want, but you have to live with the consequences and may need earplugs when you ride with a half helmet.
The fact that you said loud pipe are childish is hilarious, loud pipe save lives. So do led lights and a louder than stock horn. You must be a pretty green rider at 50+. And according to the Pennsylvania Motorcycle Course you should where ear plugs cause the wind can destroy your ears over time. Be safe out there man, keep your head on a swivel.
Cody Myers I have not unplugged anything. I have heard of people doing that but I think it would have an opposite effect. The O2 sensor is design to do just that, calculate how much fuel to mix with air for a perfect tune. Unplugging it will not allow the system to adjust for the pipe changes.
No… it’s just baffles. It doesn’t remove the catalytic converters further up in the pipe. All the baffles do is make the bike quieter. If it fucked up your fuel ratio and makes your bike run horrible, what do you think happens when you put in aftermarket open exhaust?

@@ganonpig I went ahead and did mine last year after I submitted that question, and yes...they sound great, lost about 7 to 10 miles per tank but I can live with that......
@@NCHAAK really? I didn't think this mod would have that kind of affect. Are you sure it's because of the mod and not something else? I'll have to ride mine around more and see if my mpg changed much
I'll be doing this very soon
Kevin, if the pipes are the same it should work. But again, mine is a Boulevard so I don't want to say it is the same.
the c50 is a boulevard
I have an intruder vl800 i guess it's the same. C50 is the name in usa
Cool sound!
I put Vance and Hines on my wifes Road Star but I had to change the carb jets..I know this is fuel injection but is there anything you have to adj for fuel flow????? Thanks for the Video
Sounds better than I thought it would.
Thanks for Video !! I do like your saddle bags ? Can you provide the brand I have a 2012 C50T? Thanks
titoperaza1 I will have to look when I get home tomorrow. They were already on it when I bought the bike a few years ago.
Plz make a update to this I also love those bags
Bags are very nice, if you could definitely post up name of saddlebags be greatly appreciated
What about the 1st stage baffles? You removed the 2nd stage only
I thought it didnt have that raw straight pipe sound..still sounds better though.
I recently bought a C50 Boulevard with the baffling already taken out. I can't ride the bike on long rides because when it gets hot it wants to shut itself off. I'm told it's because someone knocked the baffling out and messed up the back pressure. Now I have to get a tuner for it or buy new exhaust.
Sounds like they took the secondary baffles out as well or maybe a complete different issue causing it to shut off. I still have this bike and have zero problems with it.
Aubrey.... the previous owner shouldn't have tried this hack job.
Now you will have to buy a controller.
bout to do this to my enduro
Okay please help I have a 2000 v star and the baffle already broke off the weld but it's stuck loose in there because there's a metal plate and I can't get it out
On the 05 mine is fuel injection.. what did you have to do with the fuel system before you can cut the baffles out? Mine runs rich as hell most of the since I bought the bike with 2500 miles on it back in 07.. now I got 95k on it and it still runs rich... I have not touched the exhaust yet...
I didn't change anything with my fuel system before or after removing the baffles. If your system is working as it should, it will automatically calibrate with the change of the Air/Fuel mixture. You may have a bad Air/Fuel ratio sensor causing it to run rich.
@@SchofieldRacing kewl I been trying to find what could cause it to run rich. Where is it located on the bike? I got the hole saw dril but I got to see if there is one big enough.. I can't remember the sizes. Thanks, I appreciate the ideas on the fuel problem.
Google "2005 Suzuki Boulevard Oxygen Sensor Location" 🙂
@@SchofieldRacing hey Danny, I tried to look up o2 sensors on my bike.. it doesn't have one. Instead it has a pair valve that allows fresh air in to the exhaust after it leaves the cylinder. They main complaint is they get stopped up and the bike popped back through the exhaust. Mine was just out right running rich. So I followed the guys advice, and for the first time since '08 my bike will idle on it's own and smooth as silk without having to rev up the engine to keep the bike running. I'm extremely happy at the moment. Thanks for encouraging me to do a Google search that has cured a problem the Honda shops couldn't.
@@hearsejr Awesome, we both learned something today! Thanks for the update.
Hi I want to do this to my wifes bike, however how did you stack the hole saws? I cannot get both to secure on the arbor?
Kool budget mod tank u!
Have you changed the spark plugs since doing this? Wondering if the bike
is running more lean or rich? Ive done this recently and was thinking
of adding a K&N filter but dont want to lean it out more than what
it should be..
Robbie R, I have not changed plugs. I did a lot of research prior and since it is fuel injected it should calibrate itself. If your bike has a carburetor it will have to be adjusted. Let me know if you have any issues, I would like to add a K&N to mine as well.
Danny Schofield ok im due for new plugs, once i pull them, that will tell me if they are running to lean or not.
Awesome!
Im not sure when they went efi but the fuel injected ones should be able to compensate for the extra flow from a few bolt ons.
Robbie R 9
Great explanation of how to do this.
Have you noticed a loss in performance "speed" and has any of your pipes started to discolor?
Thanks!
Definite gain at higher Rpm's and on the highway. No rust, no discoloration... its garage kept though and I live in Oklahoma.
I had a 02 Volusia and put Cobra pipes on it. I had to put bigger jets in the carbs and you wouldn't believe the difference it made in the way it ran, way more throttle response. Yours sounds pretty good, but nothing sounds as good as strait Cobras.
Next show us how to get rid of those teeny tiny saddlebags you got on that thing. They look like cellphone cases
hey nice video. have a question i have a suzuki intruder m800 2006 and it has the same pipes like on your bike. can i do it the same? thx
Hay, did you do it ? I have vs800 03 thinking about it.
your saddlebags look awsome!! what brand is that?
I bought them off eBay. There are several sellers that have them. This link is for a seller with the same ones but I did not use this particular seller, just FYI
www.ebay.com/itm/172034056373
What kind for saddlebags are those..? They look sweet...
Im am doing this today on my 09 buy c50t..will i have to add a fuel commander or any of that stuff...???
Nope, the fuel injection system will calibrate on its own. You can add a commander if you are also wanting to add power, but not necessary on a 2009 C50.
@@SchofieldRacing thank u
Hey where did you purchased your side bags?
They were on the bike when I bought it. I found some on eBay around the same time but that was several years ago. I still have the bike though.
I liked your video. Where did you get those saddle bags, tank lining and other accessories? Thanks!
RadLazic, they were on the bike when I purchased it. Sorry, not much help...
Danny Schofield Thanks for replying! Your bike looks great with them (sounds good, too ;) I own the same bike. Peace!
Did I miss how you combined the two drill bits ?
The brand that I bought had enough space to screw 2 bits on the shaft. I believe it was Milwaukee.
Здравствуйте.непропадает ли мощность? глушитель имеет сопротивление.нужно настраивать компьютер после этого?
Does this work for a 08 boulevard m50?
And now, good morning vibrations.....:)
I am curious: What decibel reading do you get after removing the parts?
Just came across this video. I am curious if you had to mess with the fuel/air at all when taking the baffles out?
It’s EFI. It will automatically adjust b
Can I ask what bags those are Danny? Going to look at this same bike today.
I searched "hard saddle bags Motorcycle" on eBay and found them. I just looked again and found them again but they don't have a brand name. They are listed for $79.50 for the set. I like them, no issues.
@@SchofieldRacing Do they remove easily or are they hard mounted/permanently attached?
@@hcamardelle They bolt on, you could take them on and off but not by pulling a pin or anything.
perfect sound! :-D
Had someone drill holes in my exhaust on my Boulevard 2005, is a little louder, do I need to have the carb or anything adjusted now ?
I didn't need to adjust mine because it's fuel injected, I believe a 2005 is also fuel injected. If it is carbed then it will likely need adjustment.
Btw mines a S40 so pretty sure it's carb
so hard to tell what the bike sounds like . You need to do a couple driveby's with the motor under load !
Pretty quiet still
Did your fuel injection light come on or was it ok after the debaffle
I apologize, I thought I responded to this a LONG time ago... my bad. No lights, no issues and still runs great!
@@SchofieldRacing is ilegal do that? I mean police can stop You
@@heavystorm1406 I live in Oklahoma and we don't have state vehicle inspections, doesn't affect me here. Not sure how much it changes the overall emissions, i wouldn't think much for a baffle though.
@@SchofieldRacing sounds great, i Will do the same job to My Suzuki intruder 86 700cc
Hey I have a brand new boulevard in gonna do this
Nice
Where did you bought the saddle bag
I wish I knew... they were on it when i bought the bike. I tried to find a name inside but couldn't find anything.
@@SchofieldRacing thanks Danny. Is it possible to share pics back and side, so I can do my search
Thanks
@@hobbypilots794 Yes, I will send some pics when I get home
@@SchofieldRacing Thanks
Aren't bikes engineered for a certain amount of back pressure from the exhaust? What problems can i anticipate?
thats what makes me think this is a silly thing to do. it is engineered that way for a reason.
No more than aftermarket pipes that have open exhaust ie 99% of them.
Can I do the same thing with my M90 2018 ?
Do you lose the back pressure needed for the motor.
Negative, there are additional baffles further up the pipe, I would not recommend taking those out too though. My bike still runs great!
@@SchofieldRacing Thanks for the tips.
Back pressure is a myth
B4 I get to do this . Same thing on a 2012?
I believe so, but you should research to verify same exhaust setup
I believe so but you should probably research to verify same exhaust setup
@@SchofieldRacing well I decided to have a go at it. Not happy camper right now. In 1 ¹/² pipe has least 5 smaller pipes running along with it which prevents it from wiggling alot. And the hole saw blades I spent 40 bucks on only allowed me to get my sawzall started..lol. I'm going to try to get those inner pipes out this afternoon but holy cow it's a pain. But as far as I can see there's no deep inner baffles...ill let ur fans know on this if it works and how bike runs afterwards cause idk what will happen lol
I was thinking of doing this to my 2005 Suzuki c50 five years ago. I'm glad I didn't go through with it, so are my family and neighbours. It's kind of childish to want a loud bike at my age, I'm 50+.. Do what you want, but you have to live with the consequences and may need earplugs when you ride with a half helmet.
The fact that you said loud pipe are childish is hilarious, loud pipe save lives. So do led lights and a louder than stock horn. You must be a pretty green rider at 50+. And according to the Pennsylvania Motorcycle Course you should where ear plugs cause the wind can destroy your ears over time. Be safe out there man, keep your head on a swivel.
lol.. Childish!
How did you combine the bits??
After doing this modification, is there popping and stuff on deceleration?
not with EFI maybe with carb
How did you combine the saw bits?
RONALD Rhyne, the bit that the blade screws onto had just enough space to add 2 holesaw blades.
I've read that some sensors start to go off, is that true for you?
Negative. I still have this bike and haven't had any issues at all. I made this video 5+ years ago...
🇧🇷🇧🇷🇧🇷👏👏👏 ficou show valeu
Did the same different bike did u unplug ur 02 to go into open loop
Cody Myers I have not unplugged anything. I have heard of people doing that but I think it would have an opposite effect. The O2 sensor is design to do just that, calculate how much fuel to mix with air for a perfect tune. Unplugging it will not allow the system to adjust for the pipe changes.
U get any back firing
Cody Myers, I don't have any backfiring.
And doesn’t this screw with your fuel injection / fuel to air ratio and make you bike run horribly
No… it’s just baffles. It doesn’t remove the catalytic converters further up in the pipe. All the baffles do is make the bike quieter. If it fucked up your fuel ratio and makes your bike run horrible, what do you think happens when you put in aftermarket open exhaust?
