Have I missed something somewhere? I was always under the impression that if I wanted to improve the performance of my Harley I needed louder (less restrictive) exhausts. I have ridden my 2001 Heritage for years on a stage 1 with Screamin' Eagle slip ons which were there when I got it. It was a bit loud but not uncomfortably so. I recently added a cam swap and the noise is too much now. (Love the performance form the Andrews 37 cams!)
But can I keep the performance if I put some stock pipes on? I have no problem losing a few horses, its not a race bike. All I ever wanted was to get some power when I opened the throttle rather than lots of noise and slight acceleration.
Apologies if this is a stupid question but I have no interest in making lots of noise. I just want to enjoy my bike and not piss people off. There are enough idiots on the road with no consideration for others.
I originally posted this query in a quiet baffles post, it was suggested I start a new post on this topic. Having said the above I am not keen on the look of Supertrapp exhausts on a Heritage . Manufacturers quiet baffles do not seem to be much of a solution if I read the post about baffles right. But surely a stock restrictive exhaust will stifle any performance mods?
