Can anyone tell me how easy or hard it is to remove the baffles from original se slip on's? Thank's!

 

Pretty easy, I had to remove the pipesfrom the bike completly, and on the inside of the exhasut there will be a bolt or rivet holding them in. Just remove that, and I used a broom handle to push them out the back side. What are you doing, are you just removing the baffles or replacing them. Cause I took my out completly and the bike sounded good at idle, but sounded like chit on accel, and you loose alot of power. I just ended up drilling a few holes in the flap that is bent down inside the baffel. Made it louder and did not loose any power.

 

was going to remove them completely, but the drilling idea sound's even better. thank's for the imput!

 

I ran a crow bar inside my baffles and just opened them up a bit.

 

The "original" SE mufflers (like I'm running on my Softail) have a single bolt holding in the metal baffle.

Take out the bolt, grab the baffle with some needle nose plier or whatever and pull it out.

Tune your bike correctly and you won't loose alot of power if you want to run without the baffles, but of course your bike will be somewhat louder.

And needless to say many people never bother to have their bike tuned correctly (either a dyno tune or at least hooking up some gauges to verify the A/F mixture throughout the operating range), so if you are just using the 'seat of the pants' dyno your results may vary, running with or without internal metal baffles.

 

I was thinking of opening my SE baffels up a little too, just wanted it to be a little more throaty. Any one else ever did that ?? Looking for ideas

 

I did the same thing.. inserted a piece of pipe inside the muffler and bent the deflector out about 3/4 of the way. Sounds pretty good to me.. I didn't even remove the slip-ons, did it right on the bike.

 

i pulled my baffles out completely sounds good all the way through i think. i tried to just open that lil flap in there but that didnt work to well, didnt try drillin em though, oh well
