Removal, usually just a bolt holding the baffle in. Problems, massive loss of bottom end power overcome by really load exhaust note that SOUNDS faster!

Thanks HOGDOC from ID Ho,I wanted to add that my scooter is carbed not injected.Having added that little fact, will I still suffer the afore mentioned loss of bottom power? Any and all replies appreciated.

Yes you still will, twin cams need back pressure take it away the bottom end torque will fall way off.

If you must take the baffles out, put a 1/4" bolt in it with four 5/16 nuts on it. It will clean up the a/f a bit and give you a better curve. I recommend you cut your baffles in half and put them back in. See attached for proven results.
