So I finally got the D&D full system on the X1. Little did I know I would set off car alarms and soil my knickers every time I twist the juice. This thing is ridiculous. Amen.

don't run the v&h without a baffle, the excessive vibration will shake that muffler right off the bike. on the v&h the baffle performs 2 functions, noise reduction and vibration control. for racing applications there is a racing baffle for that muffler, it's freer flowing and rated at 105db

that would explain why the rear mount on the can broke off the can. damn...just have to wait till i get cash for a D&D.

i used the race baffle for a couple weeks but, by the time i installed it it was too late the front and rear mounts crapped the bed!
i guess they changed the db ratings in the last few years, i bought it from a local aftermarket supplier after using cheap fiberglass packing that came out the first day.
the race baffle would've worked out well had i not run the whole summer baffless.
i am much happier with the force however.

i posted the replacement part numbers in the kv at one point but i can't seem to find it, i'll keep looking it may still be in the parts unlimited catalog.
