Hard Krome 2.75 Big Straights Lollipop Exhaust mod, Honda Sabre vt100C2

I do the lollipop mod on the Hard Krome pipes on my 2005 Honda Sabre. By using washers to space the large washer in and out you can adjust the amount of back pressure. Varying the size of the washer will vary the amount of back pressure..

*It wasn’t 1000 years, it was 7, but Brother we’re here!* Really appreciate this. Saves me until I can afford a new exhaust for my Nightster

[@bigmike9527]

I bought a new sportster with a lot less effort than you are putting into that exhaust and my Harley Davidson sounds amazing.🤘🔥🤘

[@vonsamson2209]

Made 3 lollipops for my tab performance with zombie baffles and my old D and D 2 into 1 side burner exhaust with a straight thru baffle on my old fatboy amazing how well it works just finished my 2018 street glide special to cold out right now to ride but there still loud as hell at idle the washers I used leave around half and inch space all around the hole drove my fatboy and it's amazing how much better it sounds and the power increase and it use to have D and D fatcat exhaust .

[@clipofthedayyup4907]

I think your one the right track. you could try turning the lollipop on a slight angle to see what that does.

[@donzil141]

I believe that your engine has a dual pin crank and because of that you will never get rid of the raspy sound.

[@spanky522]

Those appear to be to restrictive. I think you should use smaller washers so you let more of the exhaust get by and will sound better. There should be about 1/2" around the outside of the washers to let enough of it go by. You should also re-adjust the air mixture screws in the carbs so it runs right. Anything you do with intake or exhaust will effect the carbs on way or another.

I had a set of hard krome on a Vulcan 2000, extremely loud, put a set of end cap baffles on, quietened down enough to be bearable yet had the same sound......cost about $35 more than your lollipop. It was easier because I didn't need to drill any holes, they replaced the end caps

[@paulmcgathey857]

What brand was your end cap baffles? I also have a VN2000 with hard krome 3" pipes.

[@rugershooter5268]

@@paulmcgathey857 I don't remember, thought off Amazon but can't find order, maybe it was off leatherup before they ruined the site Amazon does have some about $12 for 3in OD, probably just as good

[@LeeKirkman88]

Also If you still have the baffle and able to tack weld it back in place you could try shortening the baffle size.

[@ryker4124]

Confused. You had your pipes gutted and now you think they're too loud? What did you expect? Lollipops are not to reduce the loudness and won't. They do reduce decel pop and slightly increase back pressure. BTW thread locker will last about 1 minute under the heat of the exhaust.

[@sonorangaming449]

Blue definitely. Red... well, best have a blow tourch on hand to get it off.

[@normanbuffett4642]

just learning about this lolli pop trick. have cobra cruiser slashcuts on my vl800 Suzuki and they are giving me headaches. at idle and low speed sound great but at cruising speed so annoying. will look into this. also, no offense but I have learned no matter what you try you cant make a 1100 sabre sound good. rock on

[@vladimirbordini]

Did you end up trying this? I've got a c50 with the slashdowns on it that are just a little too loud

[@E1F13RR0]

I have those Hard Krome in my Aero 750, and I dont like to run over 75mph, it so noisy for me. I wonder if could put cobra baffles on my pipes.

[@ockenjd]

Very helpful. Thanks.

[@efrainguzmangomez4766]

I want my pipes to have that cool sound solid sound

[@DavidGarcia-rz9mn]

Sounds better!

[@davidmccall4776]

I'm wondering how these could be applied to V&H Longshots without ruining the heatshields. That's the only thing holding me back from trying those things. Any info would be appreciated. Seeya

[@brainrxt]

great video! very helpful

[@mikestenseth8409]

Did you realize you have socks on with your flip flops?? Whoa!

[@khawajahassan3369]

There is an Echo Chamber which of about 12" inside the heatshield as the exhaust pipe is approx 12" shorter inside the Heatshield and I think that is the main reason of being too loud. I think you mentioned extending the exhaust pipe to another 10" or so before putting the Lollypop at the tip end. The heatshield being open from the bottom and from the frame facing side can't let you create the backpressure but may still reduce the big Echo environment. After extending the Exhaust pipe to another 10", did you notice the reduction of sound? Please advise as I have these on 2007 Yamaha V Star 1100 and just way too loud...

[@harleyvulcancobra4.619]

That is so heavy it probably will crack the wall of the pipe and fall out! Holes should be in the bottom so there is no weight on the side wall! I have seen that happen,hopefully it won’t though! I don’t think you should use these and baffles to,to much back pressure!sounds awful! I think you should have used cobra pipes.I saw some cobras on a Honda 1300 and it sounded great! You can buy these thunder torque inserts from DK customs and they work great! What I like about them us you can put them in any pipe whether it’s curved or not! My Harley has goose neck pipes and these lollipops work great,best sound ever!

[@freefree2021]

Hey Bro, since you've owned the pipes have you had any peeling or bluing of any kind. Is the chrome quality?

[@jimmyanderson4865]

Ive ran HK big straights in the past no bluing whatsoever . ironically I just installed a set of 3" big straights on my Roadstar 1700 yesterday they sound brutal wouldnt even think about removing the baffles ride safe !

[@jessicadiesel3193]

Tell me I have a 2021 Harley Davison 2021 trike with stock mufflers can a take what is inside and add those lollipops with not affect my bike performance, thanks

[@_eimine_]

Seems like a lot of back pressure. Any issues?

[@3mrjames]

Hey so they gutted the baffles. And did you just slide the baffle case back in...I'm asking cause like you I'm at that point where what do I do to these things to quite them down.im just wondering can you just put the lollipop mod in the baffles them selfs..

[@MattG-dk6sx]

Wd4pg did the washer end up being to big ? I need to do this . Just bought a 04 Boulevard and someone knocked out the baffles

[@daveco1270]

I would paint them before installing them in the pipe. They're bigger than I expected, taking up a lot of space inside the muffler. Does the added back pressure give you more low end torque?

[@BlackMountainCycles]

I painted them first. I don’t notice any sluggishness. In low gears. Sounds great.

[@amindnew527]

more hp / torque? more gas mileage?? nice mod...

[@rockstreetbastard]

Way To much backpressure. You Will melt your valves or something

[@boscodog4358]

Sounds great. But how do you know that you are not restricting your exhaust too much

[@justaguy4real]

2:50 use "JB WELD" or something similar

[@kealaboy808]

So does those help with popping and backfire sounds

[@eggowaffles4672]

Yes

[@doug3805]

I like Honda but they will never sound good. The only Honda that sounded good to me with aftermarket exhaust was the Honda Fury. Not knocking your bike. It is sharp.

[@LowkeeLT]

I ended doing my own baffle mod to these to quiet them down and get rid of the ear-piercing twang they make ($20 in parts). If you still have your bike, give this a try: kzbin.info/www/bejne/iGbFd6SMlNOrprc

[@shano81]

sounds like someone clapping

[@efrainguzmangomez4766]

sorry but they sound horrible

[@efrainguzmangomez4766]

but great video

[@americanjoe7679]

Sounds horrible

[@douglaseller4232]

To much restriction and I'm not trying to be rude nor mean but that sounds ugly.... sound like your bike has the flu all stopped up.

[@rampampaj]

ugly sound
