Houston, TX United States | On my 2010 VV, if I just have the Fluted Victory Tips installed, will that make my exhaust system sound different? |

Vineland, NJ United States | No, it is just for looks. It doesn't change the actual muffler/baffle section. I just did it, check out pics on this thread: http://www.vision-riders.com/bb/forums/thread-view.asp?tid=15322&posts=9&mid=156462&highlight=gatling+tips&highlightmode=1&action=search#M156462 |

Broken Arrow, OK | I believe Johnny likes the above product for cleaning the soot out of the Gatlin tips. |

Houston, TX United States | Just looking for an inexpensive way to make my VV sound a little deeper, without having to pay $1000 for exhaust/tips/tuning/installation, any ideas? |

Albuquerque, NM | Cheapest solution I've seen is to drill holes around the outlet tips. There's a thread with pics somewhere on this site. Don't have to take off the pipes...more holes...deeper sound. If you don't like it, weld them up. |

A piece of steel pipe sized to just slide into the exhaust. Cut it on a steep angle on one end. You just made a chisel punch. Stick the sharp end in the muffler and hit the flat end with a BFH. You will punch through and lay down the front baffle plate and end up with a straight through channel.
The baffles are a reverse flow design. Punching through the front baffle lets a lot of the exhaust go straight through.
