Has anyone tried drilling holes in the baffles of their 08 street glide. I am thinking of doing it and have a few questions.
Would it make it any throughtier?
Would it make the bike run leaner and thus even hotter?
Would it void the warrantee?

Thanks.

 

WORTHLESS!!!!![:'(]

 

Ya really don't want to go there.... They're a CAT EPA Approved Muffler - Ya need to keep them OEM for the EPA crap starting soon... You would be much better off just getting a aftermarket set like RUSH as you can choice your own sound levels...

 

Scrap the entire stock exhaust.[:'(][:'(]

 

What Socal & Donny said.
One hole drilled in the wrong place can stuff a muffler and or make it sound really crappy ( Ask me how I know )

Been there, done that , trying to save a buck. Ended up spending the money on some good exhaust anyway.

 

While I have done this on other bikes I've owned, I got the sound i was listening for with a slightly used set of Rush slip-ons for a little over $200. Drillin' pipes on a $20K bike not worth the risk IMO.

 

I have not done it. However, everyone says to buy new exhaust. I think you might as well try drilling them. If you ruin the stock pipes, who cares!You would be replacing the stock pipes, so drilling them could save you a few hundred bucks.

 

Just my thoughts but I like to keep the originals unaltered in case I have to restore it to factory specs.

 

Nope, nada, zip.....wouldn't do it.
I have seen several people try this and take the baffles completely out....Sounds like train wreck. Go with everyone's advice and get some slip on's. There are a lot of options out there.
