| | Posted : 17 Mar 2016 - 04:46 Post title : D&D mufflers | | | I just ordered D&D Boss Hog slip on mufflers from Fast Eddy's, anyone else running them? Better yet, anyone running them without the cat, if so what do they sound like. Saw a vid. with them but the guy still had the cat and it sounded nice.

| | Posted : 17 Mar 2016 - 11:35 Post title : Re: D&D mufflers (Re: SAK1600) | | | I ran these for a couple of years on a 2010. IMHO they were the best sounding slip-ons. Well Dave Platts are sweet but a bit pricy.
D & D's, best bang for the buck. I ran them at different times with the cat, with the cat eliminator elbows (to loud for me) and a Meerkat crossover.
The D & D's with Meerkat are awesome, however I do believe you will enjoy the sound with the cat installed.
And they are American made, in Texas

| | Posted : 17 Mar 2016 - 12:29 Post title : Re: D&D mufflers (Re: Hornet) | | | I bought my D&D's (used) from MAG10 on this site back in November of 2011, Very easy install on my 2010 Thunderbird and I had the dealer put in the 20306 tune. Everyone who hears these likes the sound. I've met up with a few other Thunderbird owners over the past few years and haven't had a negative comment yet. They seem to get a bit louder with age so I guess it's the glass packs getting a litter thinner. I still have the CAT.
If I had to buy another set of mufflers, I would go with the D&D's again.

I'm having a PCV installed and its goin on the dyno . Wanted to go with Staintune but to damn expensive. I really like the way they look, to me better than all the others I could find.

| | Posted : 17 Mar 2016 - 16:06 Post title : Re: D&D mufflers (Re: SAK1600) | | | How much would they charge you to do two dyno run?
One with the current pipes (with or without cat?), and one with the D&D's? Do your other mods first, so you're only comparing the pre/post exhaust swap???
Or, if you have time...and money....do several runs to get all of the incremental HP/TQ results based on each mod? That'd be SWEET!!!!

| | Posted : 17 Mar 2016 - 20:39 Post title : Re: D&D mufflers (Re: SAK1600) | | | We should set up a GoFundMe "cause" for a willing Tbirder that is located near a good and flexible dyno shop!!
Run through all of the different bolt-on mods and performance combinations to get some real data.
Some folks fund with $$ to pay for dyno runs and labor. Some folks temporarily donate the bits/parts for some lucky guy to bolt on and test out on his Bird!
If I had a dyno shop nearby, and time (4 kids, a travel intensive job) I'd do it!!
Oh well...thread hijack over!

| | Posted : 29 Mar 2016 - 10:51 Post title : Re: D&D mufflers (Re: SAK1600) | | | Yes it did. I personally thought the elbows with the short TOR's and the D & D's were obnoxiously loud. When I ride, I ride. Gone for hours , days and I just can't handle that constant loud roar that some riders seems to be looking for.
I prefer to sneak up on you and blow by your azz verses you hear me coming for two miles. 
For me I thought the Meerkat with the D & D's had a great throaty sound vs the elbows with the higher pitch, no shot gun blast backfires etc.
Just a bad azz sounding machine.
Was it worth the money, ehh. It's not cheap, but yes I believe it was.

Depends on how bad it starts getting on my nerves, and if it starts cutting my rides short then I dont give a shite, im getting it. I want that nice sounding engine, not the high pitched sound you mentioned, I knew exactly what you meant .

If you see it in the classifieds buy it on the spot or it's gone.

K&N airfilter, cat bypass elbows with D&D muffler's installed, 79.6 HP with peak HP at 4500 rpm, 107 ft. lbs. of torque at 3500 rpm. Monster torque but thought peak HP would be more.

The result was what I was looking for. Good luck.

I put a set of those baffles in today, 1.5 x4" I ordered from t.c bros., what a difference they made , the bike has got a real nice low toned grumble to it, I couldn't be happier with it. Thanks for the tip!
