I found some numbers on the mounting brackets on the back of the slip-ons 6108R and 6108L for left and right. I'm going to contact cobra and see if these are in fact their pipes. Then hopefully I can get the right baffles. But I also want to get the Cat removed

You have ABS

*ABS is standard on MY20 LiveWire™, CVO™, Touring, Police, Trike and select Softail® models; and optional on all MY20 Street™, Sportster® and remaining Softail® models.

guess i'll have to yank on them again, although i really don't want to. Is there another way to test that. I have them on my 2012 Fatboy Lo. So i'm used to them

Found the model number and SKU which matches the numbers i found on the brackets. Called the 909-Twins Slip-on mufflers. There's a dealer in my town. will talk to them and see what they can find. I looked on their page and can not find anything about baffles.

Guy hustling a set of M8 Fuel Moto Jackpot Hi- Roller slip-ons in the for sale section right now. I run them, nice mellow but deep tone, not loud at all and they look good.

I was in the same predicament except my bike was a 2014 103 and the heat was insane.
I ordered a bassani 2x2 headpipe and was about 450 bucks.
Has bungs for narrow or wideband sensors.
Crossover pipe was round and not flattened.
Cobra neighbor haters slip ons.
SE stage1 air filter
Used fp3 for the tune.
Cooled it off quite a bit and good sound.
Quiet but you can make it bark when you twist the grip. No highway drone.

Found out i have Cobra 909's, they don't come with baffles and they can't be installed, no place to screw them in. If I'm going to change I may go with a complete black system. I have used V&H for a long time. But if I find a set that are more on the quiet side I'm happy to switch.

What ever you select, I'd go with 4 inch cans. The M8's are sensitive to back pressure and will lose low end torque without some back pressure. The S&S Grand National slip ons are fairly quiet while cruising but have some bark on accel. Also note that the exhause sound will change some if the cat is removed.

Looked at the S&S El Dorado's, says (Relocation of cats to mufflers reduces rider heat) Wouldn't it be better to not have the Cats in? I'm so new to the baggers I'm just trying to figure this stuff out. Each time I watch a video it's all about the Excelleration sound and not the cruising sound. I just want a quiet set of Black pipes. Enough of the chrome. Any set of black pipes that are quiet will work no matter the brand. I've always used V&H, but don't mind a switch in brands if they're what I'm looking for.

I bought mine with cats cause I don't like the stink of unburned HC anymore, after growing up with it. Yeah, they're expensive and add heat, but you only do this once, so I coughed up the added loot and did. Happy now.
