My old exhaust was leaking so I decided to go the harley sportster way because i Dont have an extra $300 to drop on a new exhaust.
The harly pipes I have had no baffles.
I have heard of valves buring on a gl with no back pressure.
I installed large washers . They fit snuggly in the pipes but I think I may have installed a washer with too small a hole. The hole is about the size of a nickel. From idle to 4k rpm she sounds great above 4k I get a loud sound from the motor. I feel as if the motor is struggling, not having enough exhaust t breath.
Does this sound like its the problem and can this damage antything. I already purchased washer with a larger diameter hole but was not sure as to why the engine was so loud now.
