I'm considering switching from D&D's to N Hydes. I love the D&D's but am shooting for a more traditional look. My 05 T100 was set up brand new by the dealer with the D&D's and they also put in some sort of rejet "kit". The bike runs perfectly.

A few questions: 1- can I anticipate a noticable (seat of the pants) performance difference if I go with the Hyde Toga's w/no baffles? 2- will I have to rejet or whatever if I go w/the Hyde Toga's and no baffles? 3- I forget, which Hydes are considered the most free flowing and loudest? I recall reading on this forum the Toga's w/baffles out would be the way to go but will I have to plug up the hole left after baffle removal?

Thanks
Charlie

Charlie,

If your dealer hasn't changed your carb needles just put in 115 main jets, turn your pilot screws out to 3.25 turns and you should be good to go! Find out how they rejetted your bike and go from there. I have the Norman Hyde Togas(classic mufflers) from Newbonneville.com. The mufflers are of high quality, work perfectly with my center stand and Newbonneville is professioanal and easy to deal with. I don't think you will notice any difference in performance but the sound of the Togas is quite a bit more mellow than D&Ds and the Togas sound very close to the early Bonnevilles. The little hole for mounting the baffles in the Togas can be plugged with a 4mm x 6mm roundhead screw with a nut on the back. Almost all of these aftermarket mufflers create certain low frequency resonances inside of a helmet so don't forget your earplugs.

I have NH Togas. IMO if you make no other changes, you should be able to replace the D&Ds with NH Togas without any carb tuning. You need not fill the set screw hole for the removed baffles, it does not affect flow or sound and it cannot be seen without laying on the ground.

If and when you ever remove the air box and install K&Ns, then you will have to rejet, regardless of whether you keep the D&Ds or install NH Togas. After I had the NH Togas installed I went from 125 mains to 150 mains when the K&Ns were installed.
