Hi all,

I just fitted a set of sreamin' eagle slip ons to my 2007 street bob, they sound great.  my question is, while i had the bike running and checking for leaks, rattles etc. i noticed that the front baffle in the muffler was red hot; is that normal?  the bike had a big sucker type air cleaner and a very loud 2 into one exhaust on it before and i replace those with the stock air cleaner with a k&n filter and stock headers with the sceanin' eagle slip ons.  i havent had the engine managment system remapped as yet.  the bike looks and sounds and rides great, should i worry about this and is it something that will settle as the mufflers 'run in'?  cheers.

Not sure but it could be the cat and not the baffle. I thought softail had the cats in the mufflers and dynas had them in the headers, but this couldve changed. Then again, I could be completely wrong! Lol.

What is a front baffle? Just when I start to think I have a clue this shit happens.

thanks pete, they could have cats in the mufflers as i bought them secondhand but never been on a bike. so they could be softail mufflers.

thats baffling bonkerz.

Totally...

Hi all...Its the CAT you can see glowing red hot.

thanks oneball, is it anything to worry about? cheers

Hi all...Nothing to worry about Raff,Its meant to glow red hot to do its job.

I'm removing the cats, not an easy job as I want to keep the baffles.....

Cats out, no red glow, cheers all.
