'09 Only Street Bob Stock Muffler Mod Question
I have a set of '09 Street Bob mufflers on my '02 Super Glide, (I like the look). Anyway, is there anyone who has done simple mods to the baffle to make it sound better, (not obnoxiously louder). I pulled the baffle material, but it still sounds almost stock. I know some of you have gone to great lengths removing the metal mesh, making new end plates, etc. I don't want to reinvent the wheel, just have a slightly better sounding muffler and keep my performance. (I can tune the carb for the exhaust with no problem).
PS: I have searched this forum, (lots of info), but have not found what I am looking for.
Thanks in advance!!!

Here's a vid that shows the mod as well as how it sounded with and without the fiberglass:

I went with the "ultimate" mod. I get a lot of complements on these. Best $35 I ever spent, except for that time in Montreal...

Gary,
I reviewed the video and the procedure to modify the mufflers. However, I think they will be too loud for what I am aiming for. I noted you went back with the stock baffles, no packing. I currently have that set-up on the Super Glide. It is very quiet at idle, a little better when it is being ridden. I had the opportunity to listen to it while my wife rode beside me. I wonder if you are getting a slightly better sound due to your 96" compared to my 88" Any thoughts, or have you found something else???

No, what I'm running now is the mod I posted about above--the second half of the vid clip. For me, this is the perfect blend of traditional Harley sound without being overly loud. They are quite a bit louder than stock, but not obnoxious.
