Sharper Arrows

thunderchild · Mar 4, 2011

Took the baffles out of my arrow cans and found them too loud for early morning blasts, also found a strange resonance at mid revs.
i went to the guys at quill exhausts who for Â£30 made some short baffles for me.
Sounds excellent now.

Could you have hacksawed the standard baffles down, or drilled them out?

Easily, but then they couldnt go back in at MOT time, also when it comes time to move on then the standard cans will go back on and the unmolested Arrows sold.

Same here.
I've never fitted baffles for the MOT.As long as the can is'nt stamped "not for road use" or "race use only",you should be ok.Took my 999S down for its first MOT,..the tester said,"Bit loud is'nt it?Mind you,it does sound good.":thumbup

When I went to book my RSVR in last year I asked "do I have to put the baffle in and the big reg plate back on?"

The answer was "No, but if you get pulled for them don't go saying "It passed the M.O.T. like this officer" as a way of trying to get out of it!"

Fair enough I reckon.
