How Do You Improve The Sound Of Your Indian Challenger? Tab Performance That's How!! Part 2!

[@Kenn1969]

I see you’re a veteran...thank you for your service. God Bless!✌️😇

[@FinesseTheChallenger]

Yessir, I appreciate it, thank you.

[@lukewalken1316]

​@FinesseTheChallenger just saw your video. From one vet to another...Thanks for the info and your service

[@desiowens9356]

I just got my Indian Challenger and will definitely add some pipes. Thanks for your service

[@FinesseTheChallenger]

Congratulations on your purchase!! Thanks! …and give those Tabs a look, you won’t regret it!

[@darcher5888]

Nice video friend. I’ve done this with my Challenger and you shouldn’t need a re-flash, mine runs fine with the cat delete. Keep up the good work!

[@FinesseTheChallenger]

Thanks for the support! It has been fun and I will for sure keep the videos rolling!

[@derfskittlers6125]

Get the glass anytime you change air intake or exhaust. It will be that much better.

[@Forleaftaback]

I think they may just be the best sounding set ups.

[@FinesseTheChallenger]

Agreed

[@BikesBeardsAndBrews]

I've been wanting to hear these pipes/baffles with a tune and a cat delete, very cool man!

[@FinesseTheChallenger]

Thanks much! That combo is a beast

[@jessicaroxlife2996]

I've heard some loud bikes but holy heck your bike sounds amazing. I love the sound and the fact that you can be heard long before your seen. stay safe out there.

[@FinesseTheChallenger]

Thanks much! My bike makes me smile every time I start her up!

[@vennroc6845]

Blessing from the Motor City, and I did come over from Big Rob's channel. I have a 2020 RGS and I'm thinking about TAB Performance but I have to get my ride out of service at the dealership first. I put it in winter storage and had some major work done on it and they have had trouble getting the parts in and I'm totally frustrated with them. But that a whole other story, Peace n Love my brother.

[@FinesseTheChallenger]

Oh man, I can understand your frustration especially since you are in an area of the country with riding seasons. I'm sure you gonna be ready to rip for the next one though!! Hopefully all works out!

[@jumpingjack4725]

Excellent add on. That might be the best sounding Indian I have ever heard! 👍🏼

Came over from Robert's channel. Hope to upgrade from my Vaquero to an Indian Pursuit one day so I'm gonna follow your channel to learn all I can.

[@FinesseTheChallenger]

Yessir! Thanks, the Pursuit has so many extra options it will make your head spin LOL great choice!

[@Roll_with_R.C.]

Nice to find you bro. My wife has a 2015 Scout, i have a 2018 Chieftain (with all the goodies an more). Leaning to upgrading both (Chief and Pursuit). Love the info on the Tab exhaust - the 108 is way too quiet and handcuffed. I was doing vids until work got in the way, but glad to see another Indian rider providing info and their prospective. That boy is L.O.U.D - sounds like a drag race! I thought this Scout was loud! Whoa! Ride on bruh!

[@FinesseTheChallenger]

Nice, oddly enough I still have not ridden a Scout yet, I want too just haven't had the chance! You know if you upgrade yours your going to have to upgrade hers LOL. Yeah the Tab opens the 108 all the way up LOL.

[@MarshalZhukov]

LOVE the Tabs with Zombies on my Roadmaster! I knew the stock exhaust was not going to work. And the Stage 1 I put on it was also woefully inadequate for sound. I wish I'd of done the Tabs to start. Got a couple vids on my channel, can also hear it. And see all the lights I put on it. That bike sounds so awesome! Just can't say enough about the Tabs!

[@FinesseTheChallenger]

You are speaking THE TRUTH! Have you thought about doing the stage 2?

[@MarshalZhukov]

@@FinesseTheChallenger Not really. But I have seen and heard things that make that mod sound nice. But content for now. The only thing that holds it back is the traffic out here!

Sounds great, looks like the back roads of south Carolina. Thinking about switching from my road glide to a challenger. The wife's a chieftain girl.

[@SmoothbassmanStudios]

Finesse. That sounds amazing!! A little loud for me as I'm doing 300+ miles weekly. I think I want to grab just the cat delete to open up the airflow a little bit.

[@FinesseTheChallenger]

I do around about the same per week, maybe I'm a bit hard of hearing LOL but it's not super loud at normal speeds. I think the cat delete will do you some good and bring out the sound without going extreme. Let me know how it sounds!

Had a question for you. On your wife’s challenger. Who did the drop for you or did you do it? Also is there a video that would show how?

We purchased the kit when we took delivery of the bike and the dealership installed the kit. Unfortunately, I do not have any video of that installation.

[@ukleintele]

Did loyds tune fix your decel pop and back firing

[@FinesseTheChallenger]

Not exactly sure what you mean. All engines backfire and pop and OEM mufflers and such suppress the sound, so removing that suppression with aftermarket parts will allow it to be heard. The tune adjusts how the engine performs using technical wizardry and such. Hopefully this helps.

Yes, to date the only issue I have had with the bike was the motor on the windshield and it is covered under warranty so other than a minor annoyance the bike has been great.

[@amphibdriver1]

You lose performance with the Zombie baffles to have a loud exhaust sound. This has been proven on a dyno. The Tab 2.25 baffles outperforms the Tab Zombie baffles on the dyno.

[@FinesseTheChallenger]

Copy...personally I was never really looking for performance specifically since the bike is already quite quick. However, between the Tab Exhaust and the Lloydz tune, I am very pleased with the outcome. I appreciate the info though.
