In most urban areas, removing the baffles will put you in violation of most federal and local noise restrictions or requirements. Baffles are added to the exhaust to reduce the number of gases released at one time and reduce the rate at which gases are dispersed from the bike. Removing the baffles can also put the motorcycle owner in violation of emissions regulations for motorcycles and vehicles in some countries.
There have been rare cases when a rider uses the motorcycle for long periods without switching off the engine and has removed the baffles.
The exhaust valves and seats have been damaged due to the heat and lack of protection. Motorcycle testing on bikes with baffles and without baffles has shown no noticeable or significant change in the performance level of the motorbike when removing the baffles. It is important to note that attempting to remove baffles without the relevant knowledge, skills, tools, and experience can damage your bike or yourself. It is essential always to remember to make sure the bike is completely cooled down before working on it.
If the exhaust is still hot, you can end up burning yourself very badly. You will need the correct tools to remove the baffles without causing any damage safely.
You will want to make sure that you have someone skilled and with experience with you when you remove the baffles, or you will need to have done the necessary research and follow the steps correctly. Replacing motorcycle parts should be done with caution and wisdom.
It is a good idea to be thoroughly prepared and equipped to do the job correctly for your own safety. It will be beneficial to contact your bike manufacturer to ask the relevant questions and make sure you are fully aware of any model specifications or design differences from other bikes before following a guideline from the internet, for example. Some after-market exhaust pipes are designed so that it is easy to remove and replace the baffles.
Instead, it is recommended to use a qualified mechanic allowing the baffles to be correctly installed once again. The process of removing the baffles is not a simple unclipping or slipping off the part. It requires the correct tools and some work to remove them.
The muffler on a motorcycle is the larger part of the exhaust which connects to the exhausts midpipe. The trick to either steel wool or fiberglass is to over-wrap it with enough safety wire. People dont like loud bikes.
My neighbor used to do it many years ago. It was a good trick to pack the bored out mufflers with steel wool to get to quiet noisy exhausts. But the steel wool would eventually either burn up or rust away which was the goal to get back to a loud unrestricted exhaust.
Silencers come in many shapes and sizes and most all of them can be classified into four types: reactive, dissipative, absorptive, and dispersive or diffusive. Reactive silencers do not use sound absorbing materials but instead employ geometric design principles.
An example is the Helmholtz resonator. Mufflers packed with stainless steel wool will last up to 4 to 5 times longer than by using fiberglass alone. You do not need to purchase ready-made wrapped baffles. Instead of buying a ready-made baffle wrap to save money, you may consider making your motorcycle exhaust baffle instead of buying one.
Baffle wraps are not particularly expensive, I must say. If you compare the cost of purchasing a ready-made baffle wrap to wrapping the baffle yourself, the ready-made is much more costly. Still, why pay top dollar when you can have the fun of doing the job cheaply, from scratch, and learn more about your motorcycle in the process.?
Perhaps you tried the baffle wrap method, and the drop in volume was not sufficient. The next step is to add more wrap, obviously, but you may reach a point where the wrap can no longer fit into the tailpipe. Your motorcycle has baffles fitted inside the exhaust pipe, which you can wrap with various materials to dampen lessen the noise produced. Wrapping will not damage your bike or cause a loss of performance and may save you a few dollars in noise fines in the long run.
Hi, I'm Robert and I've been riding motorcycles for nearly 2 decades. The intention of this blog is to give reliable up to date information to other motorcyclists who are looking for answers about all different aspects of motorcycling. An exhaust baffle is an acoustically tuned metallic chamber placed inside a motor vehicle's muffler to cancel out, or muffle, the sound from the vehicle's exhaust outlet.
They are specifically designed to cancel out louder sounds emanating from the vehicle exhaust while simultaneously allowing softer sounds to pass through. They are used in almost all vehicles, from cars to motorcycles and even trucks. Exhaust baffles are used primarily to reduce the loud noise generated by a vehicle's engine. Such loud noises are a nuisance and are characterized as noise pollution.
