I remember reading a couple posts where a guy did this.... Frakkin LOUD! Probably lose you a couple ft/lbs of torque tho.

Too loud IMHO. Kinda takes a lot of the fun out of it if it gives you an earache and are deaf for a half hour after getting off the bike not to mention the permanent damage to your hearing.

I'm doing my best to avoid the Beltone's if I can.

I took them out of mine on my Rocker. It was a pain...the dealer tried to tell me they were permanent cause they had such an issue with getting them out due to the curve. But...they eventually managed. I love the sound....

My first set of pipes were Big Radius. I took the baffles out and it was very loud. I was running the torque cones as well. I never really noticed that much of a difference till I changed to the V/H Pro Pipe. Once I did that I realized the mistake I had made for running 2 into 2 espically with no baffles. Leave them in there. If you want a different sound there are other baffles out there. Do a search, but leave the baffles in.
