Default Removing Baffles

2013 Street Glide is too quiet. I plan on getting an intake and exhaust this winter while it is sitting. with that being said i do not want to wait for a little more rumble. Thinking about removing the baffles. it is not illegal here, has anyone done this?

I removed my baffles on my 2008 Sportster Rush slip on's. Sounds cool but way to load for me.

I removed mine when i got my Bassani Slip Ons and I like it. eventually, by winter time i would like to change the stock headers (with the Catalytic converter), that cause any pipes to sound slightly quieter.

An exhaust system is made to reform as 1 whole unit, so messing with the baffles will change your back pressure and performance. Be patient and do it right.
