The baffles are not removable in the Monster Ovals. Probably a good thing as it is one thing I don't have to worry about wanting to change. Had mine for more than a year and love the sound, just wish it was a bit louder. Will take care of that with a cam swap and true duals at some point. Let them fully break in and they deepen nicely.
I agree they are close to perfect sounding (deep) but would like them a little louder.Hearing the stereo was the main objective anyway when I purchased these. I still have my shovel when I want that true Harley sound.
If you want the 'true' Harley sound, doesn't that mean leave the stock pipes on? If you put on V&H Monster Ovals then you have the 'true' V&H Monster Oval sound, right?
