Does anyone have those?

I need to find photos of the baffles that go with these exhausts because mine are missing, and the sound is a bit too much fun for city riding.

I know a good mechanic locally, who can make replacements but he needs to know what to make.
I'd really appreciate if someone could post a photo of Super Combat baffles or a design that looks similar.
Thanks.

I take it these are race cans with a straight through absorption tube? I`m not familier with this make but have heard of them before.
Anyway, you can have baffles made to a similar design to these:

The diameters obviously need to match your cans outlet etc, they`ll not suppress your performance too much but will take the decibels down a fair bit.

Have you got any idea of the noise reduction of these baffles? Also any power loss?

Not really no, they`ll take the `rasp` out of any system though. It`s simply a matter of breaking the sound pulses up more, forcing them through the pinched cuts in the baffle tube instead of them having an unhindered exit from the cans.
As for power loss?
There`s bound to be some but likely you wouldn`t detect it much on the road, a dyno would show it up though.

I guess we'll have to get something like that perforated ebay thing made.
I've emailed the SP Tadao people but their website says all communication is Japanese only so I doubt I'll get a reply.

PS it's quite amusing to get advice on baffles from someone who says that "loud pipes save lives"

Ah but you`ll not find a baffle even remotely near my pipes, on any of my bikes.

I was supplied with a teastrainer as such with my can. it just sits in the end of the can and looks just like a teastrainer.
A 58mm circular cup about 25mm deep but the end has a like mince says the face is full of small holes. It cuts down the noise and on the dyno the difference was negligable also.. I've never used it tho
LOUD PIPES SAVES LIVES something like this would be able to be made up by any of your local exhaust manufacturers for a few beers if they don't already have something in your size already

This is all a bit late, but I thought I would ask anyway. Does anyone know where you can buy a 'complete' SP Tadao Super Combat system from?

Thanks

So what are you interested in enzedone,? a set of baffles OR a complete system...?

also handy to know your location...might be a squeeze if you are in New Zealand..[especially with the rugby result]

Complete system.

I am thinking ahead you see.
I got a complete system for my current bike shipped out from the states, wasn't that bad.

Waaaaaaaaaaaay cheaper than buying here.

I would like to purchase one of these machines as I currently have a twin (250). And they are a reasonable price. So I'm starting to look ahead now at parts/accessories, and the likes.
It's just the way I am.

They do sound nice.....

AlexTRX, I used to live in Brisbane/Cleveland out on the coast there........lovely. Strady Island, good stuff.
