Is the removal of baffles bad for the motor?
Plus, you’re robbing performance from the motor so best to run w/baffles, or find louder exhaust to suit your “auduble” taste. Removing baffles reduces Needed back pressure on the motor….
What happens when you remove the baffles on a Harley Davidson?
Removing baffles only makes you think the bike is running better because it’s noisier. In reality, if you were to measure the power, you would find it’s down from where it was with baffles installed and the mixture would be leaned out from where it was which is the main problem.
What would need to be done if I simply removed the baffels from stock exhaust pipes?
What would need to be done if I simply removed the baffels from stock exhaust pipes? Click to expand… If your bike is stock the way it came from the factory it is already running very lean. If you remove the baffles or add a free flowing air filter it will run even leaner. You could add a fueler to richen up the air fuel ratio.
Is it better to remove the baffles on a V-twin?
Your performance will, however, noticibly suffer. You might be better off using what you have and start up the piggy bank for a better muffler that will give you some appreciable volume but better performance as well. It will be a whole lot louder (twist the throttle back while going under an interstate overpass and you’ll see what I mean).

Can you remove baffles in the exhaust pipes of a motorcycle?
Daniel Wallander, 40 years riding and wrenching on my own bikes. It is possible to damage your engine by removing baffles from your exhaust. Removing baffles from the exhaust provides for a freer flowing exhaust, causing your exhaust to become louder and flow more air or flow air faster. An engine is essentially an air pump.
Can you remove the baffels in a fuel injected bike?
Removing the baffles would essentially be the same as changing exhaust. Maybe even closer to drag pipes which may not perform how you want. As far as reprogramming you may want to consider adding a Dobeck EJK unit. I know that if there is a change in the exhaust or air-intake on a fuel injected bike, the fuel injection is simply reprogrammed.
