Hello. I have had exhaust on bike for around 27000 miles. Question does baffle break down wear out as I have a few pipes that are louder? Also riding buddies say they don't like how it sounds know. I can tell its louder but not sure how it sounds(they say it sounds bad) they like its louder but they say it sounds like sh**!!!!

Cobra baffles are solid steel, nothing to wear out

The fiberglass wrap on one or 2 of the baffles might be all blown/burned out.

That is what I was asking if they have a wrap on them (Chris) do they have a wrap on them as you stated it is just a pipe with holes

Chris is right the baffles are steel perforated pipe without glass wrapping.

If they were put on new they had no wrap on the baffles,,,if used, there's a good chance there was some added. I added wrap to mine, which helped a lot but not enough for me to keep the pipes on the bike for long.

They don't come from cobra wrapped with fiberglass |

Thanks everyone. It sounds like just right side is louder. I guess I will have to remove baffle from left and see if it is wrapped. I don't think they are as I have had a bike that was wrapped and when it started to come apart I would see pieces coming out

Matt: What may be happening is the vacuum lines may be wearing out causing the cylinders to be unbalanced. Replace vac lines, tighten all intake clamps and do a carb synch.

That's what I was thinking and why I broke a bolt taking kury plug runners off so I could look at intake orings and such. I do have a Pringle have not desmoged I do have new caps on Intake nipples

Mark,
That bike looks tits. Thinking of that slowly rolling through a slightly dusty parking lot with those pipes kicking up a storm....Nice!
