awidowsson Posted March 16, 2016 Share Posted March 16, 2016 Hi, can anybody help me out here, I have a midnight star 1300 (2013) mot due end of month. I have fitted a cobra 2275 exhaust complete with cobra air filter & fc2000 fuel management, i need any information about dB baffles for the exhaust, the tester might think it's to loud. any help will be greatly appreciated.

slice Posted March 16, 2016 Share Posted March 16, 2016 Shouldn't worry to much about them, really as long as they have the correct "FOR ROAD USE" stamped on them you should be fine, if they are unmarked ie no stamp then that might be a problem but most testers are only concerned that the bike is safe, noise is subjective really just say they are new legal pipes and that should see you ok. Found this if it's any use? http://www.cobrausa.com/inside_cobra/tech_tips/48/removable_baffles/ but they are in the USA of course so your going to have to wait for them to arrive if your screwed without them. This might help? http://www.cruisercustomizing.com/cobra/baffles/exhausts?parameter=ppc&gclid=CMD207inxcsCFc1uGwodA8QLIA Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jimm Posted March 16, 2016 Share Posted March 16, 2016 I've a got a Roadhouse slip on my 1300 - it's got the 'quiet' baffle (allegedly quiet that is...). Tester didn't like it, and tbh it was a bit louder than I'd wanted. I fitted a baffle inside the main baffle - bit of measuring and got it from these guys in the UK. http://www.customizedchoppers.com/c/Exhaust-Baffles?all=1 I needed the 8 inch 44mm, pretty fast delivery, and not too dear either at 10 quid I was quite pleased with the result, toned it down nicely. Tester sniffed a bit (he's a miserable sod) and passed it... Won't let me post the pic for some reason Jim Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
meatloaf Posted March 18, 2016 Share Posted March 18, 2016 Never had a problem with my midnight star that I fitted cobra slip ons to,they were loud but passed every time with an advisory that the exhaust was excessively noisy. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
clarke Posted March 20, 2016 Share Posted March 20, 2016 When I had mine I wrapped the baffle in 'stove rope' which took the edge off nicely. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
