How do you remove the baffles from the twin slash ovals?

 

Just did it myself last week. Had to go get a slide hammer at Northern tool. It was the only way it was coming out.

 

Oh and if you're putting in the quiet baffles, make sure you have the holes lined up before you re-seat them. I used the old baffles and a rubber mallet to put the new ones in. You also need to make sure you don't get hung up on the far end where the baffle meets the inner exhaust tube (like I did). You can pound on it all day and it won't budge. The second one went in a whole lot faster than the first one..but isn't that always the way!

 

How do you like the sound of the quiet baffles compared to the stock baffles? I am thinking of dropping them in as well.

 

The quiet baffles are a little bit quieter but pretty much have the same sound. I was at the Harley shop and noticed mine were quite a bit quieter than most. I like them.

 

To remove the baffles you need to remove the screws on the bottom and side of the muffler. It is holding in the baffle. Also you will need to remove the two screws in the end of the muffler holding the twin slash extension. After that, pray that they come out easy. Mine were in very tight and they were new. I used a *** a long to pull them out. Heated up the outside with a blower type heater and pulled. PAIN

 

I definitely like the sound of the quite baffles better than the standard. They're still plenty loud when you roll on the throttle. Haven't done a long ride with them yet so not sure how I'll like them after a few hours in the saddle.

 

They are really not that bad at all on long rides. Even my passenger didn't mind. She thought they were too loud at first but she got used to them and said they are fine. You can hear the radio or just cruise. Not bad at all. Really crank out when you roll the throttle! I find that the right side has a yap yap sound more than the left. I have the dresser duals with the twin slash on an 2011 Ultra Classic.

 

I'm wanting to hear how they sound with no baffles. I probably won't like and just put them back in. Definitely don't want more quiet though.

 

well, if you remove the baffles you'll have nothing to attach the 'twin slash' end cap to. It will be loud but you're probably going to lose some low end torque.
