I have heard that, have been lucky so far they haven’t bottomed out, probably because I replaced the exhaust gaskets, no leaks in 8,000miles, but if they do I will put some washers under the nuts, and would recommend that as well. 👍🏻
hi, nice video! I wanted to ask you a question: is it possible to change only the exhaust pipes? or do we necessarily have to change the entire exhaust?
Question: Is it better to torque the head exhaust bolts first, then tighten frame exhaust bracket bolts second? I noticed you did the bracket bolts first. Just curious what instructions state?
I took my baffles out and wrapped them with muffler insulation. Now they sound alot better and don't have the nasty tinny blatty sound anymore. Yes, I started it up with the baffles out and it was stupid loud. I hate people who run it like that. Just annoyingly loud and obnoxious.
I’m thinking about doing the same thing. I think it would still sound great while taking the edge off. What’s it like getting those baffles out and back in?
@@vtxfan It was fairly easy getting the baffles out. I wrapped them with a little too much and had a bitch of a time trying to shove them back in, but I managed to by twisting them back and forth, then lined the holes for the bolts and got'r done! They do sound better. It's been a couple years now and I may pull them out and see how it's lasting or if it burns out or not.
That is true, I have heard that. I seem to be fortunate so far, (the fresh gaskets help) but if they do bottom out when I re-tighten everything up, I will use a washer or two, to make up the difference 👍🏻
This bike is a 2007 1300C, it fits great 😎👍🏻. If you’re using the stock air box, you probably won’t need to re-jet your carb, but you should keep an eye on your spark plugs color so you know if you need to.
I'm just thoroughly impressed that you're doing everything with the helmet on
Great work
Thanks, I appreciate your feedback 😎👍🏻
Nice Video, Liked and subscribed ✌
except for the screaming stuff you added, that was unnecessary
😂
@@vtxfan Castle nuts or for using cotter pins. ACORN nuts bottom out...

I think Cobra makes slip-ons, so that’s always an option 👍🏻

This was how they laid it out in the instructions, so far far no problems 👍🏻
Will floorboards and forward controls work with new exhaust?
I don’t know, that’s a good question 🧐

Sounds great! I have the same bike and the exhaust sound is a shame... where can I buy that cobra? Nice vid
Hey Enrique, try easternperformance dot com, they may still have one in stock
free performance 2 in 1 sounds better, but $1099
💰💰😎👍🏻
never use those castle nuts with after market pipes they bottom out

Will that fit the 1300c? Also, will it change my fuel-air mixture?

Did you have to? @@vtxfan
@@connershort707 not so far, I’m using the stock air box, and spark plugs look normal, but I will be checking periodically
@vtxfan If you could let me know if that changes. I won't be getting the system for a hot minute
@@connershort707 will do 🫡
Are you filming 🎥 this with your helmet 🪖 ON ??..😅.GOOF BALL.
😂
Have you taken the baffles out yet?
I have not taken the baffles out yet. I might experiment with them soon 👍🏻
