Steve

Removing the baffles makes the bike run poorly because there is no back pressure. You need to create backpressure, here's a few ideas for you. You could run these inside your pipe before the muffler.

TC if I was to remove the baffles and drill a 3/4 inch hole in the flap part do you know if that would change the sound much?


thanks Steve

Put a set of Big city thunder baffles. They sound alot better than straight pipes but put back some of the power you would lose without baffles.

Forget about baffles, just but a good exhaust system like a 2in1 Vance and Hines. You are doing alot of work for little return.

If you take A one an one half inch or a one an one eight inch hole saw and and cut out the plate that is inside the baffle tube your bike will run very well and sound good to. This is for stock muffler only.
