baffle removal from cobra pipes - Motorcycle-Journal Forums

Ramblin' Man · 09-22-2008, 09:29 PM

I put cobra speedster longs on my C90T and want to remove the baffles. There are 2 screws on the backside of each pipe. Do they all need to be removed?
The back screw on each pipe are extremely tight, and I worry about twisting the heads off. Anyone have any know-how on this?

I had the Straight Shots. Each pipe had two screw holes but only one holding the baffle in. I believe the other hole was to add tips, which I did not have. Mine were tight as well. Just about the time that I thought it might strip the broke free. I suggest you loosen them when the pipes are cold. Heated pipes seem like they would leave you with expanded metal and tighter fit. However, some on here may have had better luck with doing it with hot pipes.

Remove those baffle and the Cobras might make your ears bleed.

You'll get a lot of extra noise, but sacrifice some torque with the baffles out.
