Default Cycle shack baffles

Hi,
Im leaning toward a set of cycle shacks now. Only question I have is if there is a removable baffle and the ability to re-pack the muffler to depen the tone?

I ran some Cycle Shacks for a while and I would guess you can "drill out" the small baffle in each of them, but I don't see how you'd be able to "repack" them. I went to the SE II's and love them just the way they are...

I have cycle shack tappers. I agree with Thumper26, probably could drill out the small baffle, but don't see a way to repack them. However, at least in my case, the tone became deeper and more throaty after the inside of the pipes got some carbon build up. I'm not really sure how many miles that took. I noticed it pretty quickly after the install, but I also went on a 4 day 1,000 mile bike ride the day after the install. So, I don't know if it was just a few 100 miles or over 1,000 before I noticed the change in the sound.

Thanks guys. I guess I should have re-phrased the question. I thought they had a removable baffle so you could repack em, sounds like they don't.

Nope, not really. They're not "straight" pipes, but when I got mine, I could look through one end and read the newspaper through the other end. With just a bit of obstruction. And it's certainly not a problem to see daylight through CS slipons.

Just email cycle shack and confirm that hasn't changed.
