I have a new Akrapovic Exhaust for my 2016 Can Am RT Limited. Does anyone know if you can drill out the packing or would it be better to just pull the baffle? Also, if either is completed will it hinder the performance?

Those exhaust sound great just the way they are... Why monkey with it.:Shrug: That said' Probably would hurt the performance.. But some do equate noise with performance ....

That's what I thought. Checking with dealer too
.
Yes they do sound better than most. And the longer they are used the better they sound as they burn out some of the dampening material.
My wife's didn't start sounding really good until over 10,000 miles though. Or just about the time the engine was getting broke-in.
How many miles does this particular trike have on it if you don't mind saying?
Thanks for the reply - I only have 700 miles on the bike.

Thanks for your reply. We only have 700 miles on the trike
.
Give it some time then. You'll notice it start sounding a little better after 3,000 miles and it just gets better until it's a very nice rumble. Or at least I think so. You won't really notice unless you get something that will bounce the sound back to you like those concrete dividers or better yet a tunnel. Then you really notice it.
Splain.....what's a by-pass pipe? That's a new one on me. Maybe my wife knows about it since she monitors the Spyder forums. But she's never come to me saying....Do this by-pass thing. What's it actually do?:Shrug:Put the bypass pipe on and that will change the sound too..

Im still signed on to the Other Spyder forum' But after i bought my Tri-Glide [2011] and sold the Spyder i was asked not to post any more... :Shrug:
Rhino 2, Are you kidding me that a Forum where you had been a valued member would ask you to leave simply because you didn't currently own that type of machine? How lame is that:qpnmt: Nobody, I mean nobody, has a lock on the "best" machine. They all have their pluses and minuses. I think Bazooka hosting this site and building a bunch of trikes from different manufacturers adds credence to the fact that there is no one "right answer" for our needs
Well to be honest' When ask why i sold the Spyder by some members' I probably should have candy coated the reasons... And I'm not sure but i think Can-Am is a quasi owner of that forum.. :Shrug: I do know that the boss gets his Spyders on the Cuff..Wink -Wink.. And to be the Devils Advocate it is an only Spyder forum..All same -same bike forums are very protective of their brand.. That includes Harley and Victory forums to name just a few..
Like Harley Davidson Forums..... Mention another Forum on Their Forum and The'll delete it... Do it twice and that might get you banned.Bwaaaaahhhaaaaaaaa, I straddle both fences so they can kiss my emissions control unit known as my butt! Just because the Harley is bloated weight wise and underpowered doesn't mean that we don't love them And just because it takes 5-7 computers to run a Can-Am doesn't mean that their CPU superiority is worth squat:AGGHH: All of these machines are essentially discretionary purchases and our preferences are guided by our needs across a lot of different dimensions (status, reliability, performance, cost, etc.). Now that I know you have jumped over to the "other side", I will likely not share my Can-Am secrets with you so that you won't run to mother Harley and tell them that they need to consider possible different designs that may end up looking more like Can-Am's (the heaven's forbid):gah:

There are quite a few insecure people out there... :cxtv:

Its a cat bypass pipe that take the spot of the cat converter similar to the Harley Cat Bypass. Basically a pipe with no restriction.
Do you know if you lose any low end torque doing it? And do the 16's even need such a trick? I can see where the 13's would.What he said. You use it to get rid of the Cat. Makes it a little more noisier but not much.
