SOURCE: Question about Vance and Hines quiet baffles

about 3-5db but you must remember db is not a linear scale but logirythmic. basicallyy the baffles will remove the harsh rasp off the pipe and make them deep in sound, when cold they will be as loud as normal but once they have some heat in them they quieten down

Whenever I have a question about an aftermarket part - I contact the manufacturer, they are very helpful, but to answer your question, In general, if u get the correct part for your model bike, it should mount the same as the OEM part you;re replacing

go to basics replace the sparks

SOURCE: put on vance and hines slips...did not rejet..

You MUST rejet the bike!!! When cold or warming up the bike should be running in a rich mode. After it warms up you are running lean. Cheaper to rejet than replace "hole in the top of pistons".
To help prevent more problems in the future, find who ever told you that rejetting was not required, turn them around, take your right foot and kick their @#$. This could save you lots of grief and $$ in the future.

Put gauge on fuel rail and see what pressure does.Does it drop when engine quits? Fuel pump may be bad.This is realy off the wall but..Computers have engine protection modes.It gets code of engine danger,like low or no oil pressure and it shuts engine down before it blows.What kind of code would too much oil send?May have to clear and reset computer.Told you this is off the wall.lol Sorry I can't be of help.
