2022 base FTR baffle removal.... warning

[ferraiolo1]

In that case, Best bet is to just remove the muffler and add a little 2in ID exhaust tip to the cat.

I love the look of Toce, but from what I hear it's super loud, and I don't necessarily want that. I like loud, but I also like my neighbors while I still live in the city.

any exhaust that removes the cat is loud.
If you're worried about volume, get a slip on and then you can remove the baffles later on if you want it a little louder.
I have a Toce full system with the DB killer in, it's the same volume as my other half's Harley.

Well then, I guess it's not too loud. On my previous bike (Harley) I had a 2 into 1 V&H pipe, but I eventually put a DB killer in cause it was scaring the neighbors I really like the look of Toce. I might need to go with that when I'm ready for a pipe. I was thinking slip ons, but then I don't want to spend money on it only to put a full system in later. Might as well go for the gusto. My original plan was a Bassani muffler with a link pipe and no cat, but I guess that's not possible with the 2022s. Unless, of course, I'm willing to take it to a fabricator. Thanks for all your input, I really appreciate it!

the bassani is the link pipe and muffler in one, but is just as loud, if not louder than the toce. And doesnt perform as well

That’s good to know, thanks! I guess Toce it is then

Nice video, love the little exhaust trio at the end That really helps, much appreciated. Toce sounds wonderful, like an FTR should.

19'FTR RR here. Removed baffles from the stock RR Akra the other day. Drilled hole @8 o-clock then 4mm Allen to unbolt the moped simulators. Ended up having to pull the mufflers to knock the baffles out, no welds, easy peasy.

It actually sounds like a motorcycle now

I have a 2022 FTR S.removedthe baffles easy no welded bracket at all

did you drill the hole at 8oclock. Someone told me the 2022 is different...

Have done my mufflers now and I’ve found I use more fuel.. Possibly as I keep blipping the throttle a LOT more! Love the new sound, definitely a job well worth doing.

we did my husband's 2022 baffle removal using the 2019 instructions with no issues
