Nice bro. I got my race baffles from A and R mootorsports. I've got an 05 R1 as well but unfortionately I'm in the marine corps and am at training right now. That bike is insane! Although cutting the welds out of the exhaust cans with a $40 dribel sucked lol the sound is worth it
You will likely notice a power difference. The surge at 7k rpms is gone. It's just smooth and powerful the whole range. I still have my Cat in, so I don't know the sound difference with it out. I suspect it will change some. If you remove the Cat you need to address the lean issue with a PC III or something similar, from what I'm told.
That sounds really good; I was watching another video and this guy took out the cat. and it almost sounded the same. I'm putting on my baffle this weekend and i was thinking about putting taking out the cat., but after this, I think i'll leave it in. ...your bike sounds good, by the way, I can't wait to put mine off (I have a 2005 R1 also)....DId you original baffle have any welds that you had to grind out, or just the rivets?
Yes the baffles are titanium welded in. They need to be drilled or cut out. That was the worst\hardest part. If you remove the cat, you need to modify the fuel flow. So get a PCIII or similar to modify.
@Motofixxer ...After hearing how your bike sounds, I'm not messing with the cat...did you put all the wrapping paper back on the aftermarket baffles also?
I got muffler wrap with the baffle kits I got. I just wrapped it around then used wire wrapped around the packing. Some have filled the rest of the can with packing. I didn't, I just wrapped it around and secured it
I did not realize how well these race baffles work. It allows you to keep the stock look on your bike, but with much better sound. New cans will set you back several hundred dollars, so this is a nice affordable alternative. Thanks for posting this.
The baffles are more of an unofficial mod. So it really depends on the exhaust. If your cans have a riveted end cap on them then they are removeable. You can put different baffles in.
Yes if you seen the restrictive stock baffles you would understand why. The whole inside of the can is blocked off except for a hole about 1" in diameter that all the exhaust has to go thru. Like hitting a brick wall with a little hole in it. Just as good as any aftermarket can.
Description says "Vance & Hines part # is v22040 $37ea x 2" Remove stock cans, drill out rivets in end cap. Drill out welds, or cut to remove baffles. Cut new baffles to correct size, wrap with packing install in can, rivet on end cap. Stock titanium cans are a pain to drill so it's not easy. If you need additional info, email me from my main page and I can give you more of a writeup. The sound is awesome, lots of compliments.
that sounnds really nice bro how much did that cost u and how do u go about installing them and were do you buy them at and what kind of tools will i need. were did u buy that at. thanx for any help

did you gut out the cat?

No not yet, not recommended till you have a Power Commander or another way to modify the fuel, which I don't have yet.

Yes more performance, much better sound. Much cheaper than aftermarket cans.
