Drilling baffles out on Blackline pipes
Next question from the newb....and there will be many more..lol
This has likely been asked a million times and I have seen a few comments regarding it, but nothing on the new Blacklines. Has anyone removed the baffles from their Blackline or newer Softail exhaust? Results?
Will it still run smooth if it has the stock Air breather? There have been no other mods on it......other than doing the VHT exhaust paint this weekend...thanks for the advice!

I'm not sure what's in the new FXS as far as a cat goes, but if the 2010 Streetglide is an indication, it is huge. The cat I saw is long and all but occludes the entire head of the pipe, so even dislodging a baffle is probably not the most advantageous route. I'd just replace the exhaust.

it depends on your skills and fabrication tools. If you look at the fulsac site it shows a tutorial on gutting the cat and modifying the stock mufflers. I did it on my softail, w/ a 2-1 off a 2011 road glide, modified the mufflers with other parts I had, and some exhaust pipe from the auto parts store. Anything can be done if you desire, I wouldnt completely cut out the baffles you can just makee them less intrusive.

Okay.... I really have a looootttt to learn. I've been looking at the dealership and other websites seeing looking at slip ons for around the $450 mark. I just don't have that kind of cash. Thanks for putting me onto BikerGarage101 NocturnalNature....now I just have to see if they ship to Canada.
Thanks to the rest of you for the advise as well. I know I can learn a lot hanging around here.
