Modifying stock Sportster Mufflers?
#21
Well end result I just punched out that metal piece in the baffles...Not what I wanted to do but the way they manufactured these mufflers I think the intent was to make that baffle extremely difficult to remove...IDK It sounds a little better for now I guess??
What is the purpose for that stupid crossover tube or whatever it is?? Is this some Kind of emissions joke or what?? That thing is a pain is the A$$ Is it really necessary?? I have a nice set of Rush Slip-on that came off of my bike that I woudl love to find a way to stick on hers but IDK with that tube and all if it would even be feasible?

Dude, they are very easy to remove. Bust the weld and out they come.
On yours the crossover is attached to the muffler not the head pipe?
The crossover isn't necessary but helps equalize the exhaust, like a lame 2 into 1.

Jack, is there any easy way to get that crossover tube off? I think I could build a mount to use those Rush Mufflers I've got...

A pair of slip-ons is pretty much the same as knocking the baffle outta the stockers. When you remove the baffle it basically makes them a straight through glass pack and sounds 100x better than before. It's free and easy. You don't even need to buy a hole saw if you don't have one.
Doing this sounds better than simply punching a hole through the center of the baffle. It adds to the rumble without being too loud if you aren't into loud pipes. Try it, you'll like it.

His only other mod was to put a bolt in the ends of the mufflers, kind of like a homemade torque cone.

So if I do this same thing you say as far as busting the weld & removing the baffle altogether, is it just that simple? No adjustments, rejetting the carb etc.? Am I looking at any changes after removing the baffle aside from sound? I was about to purchase sum slipons or drags myself but if its as you say then screw spending money. So in short is it safe to remove and just continue riding as normal? I dont have to have any adjustments made to my carb?
