    Okay fellas. I know I will probably get burnt over this, but I have a FE and eight straight pipes and I will be making baffles for them. I'm looking for info on how to make said baffles with pics etc. I did do a search and came up with some links but they are mostly Lake style headers. I'm going straight 8 individual. A lot of the early threads on this the pics have gone. Any info on this will be most appreciated.
    Cheers
     
  2. Try some Motorcycle sites or maybe Dennis Kirk to get ideas or buy outright.
     
  3. What size tube?
    Do you want the baffles removable ?

    When Clark Bates built these headers, he used 1 5/8 diameter washers in each pipe as the baffle. While it seems a little loud, it really isn't

    I made these for some side pipes
    You could just make smaller versions.

    IMO, there's no way to baffle individual small diameter header pipes without creating massive restriction to flow. Just using individual pipes alone results in less free flow, let alone stuffing some kind of baffle into each one.
     
  8. Yep,
    Obviously 8 straight pipes is a "for show" thing and one that probably looks pretty cool.
    8 individual zoomie pipes (short) works well with a blower .

    in my h.s. days, the honda boys used those baffles that basically were washers welded to a bolt. turn it one way, it's passably quiet, turn the other way and you have straight pipes.
