well I went ahead and took the baffles out today, I went and got a hole saw for cutting metal. only took me about 20 minutes total. to my suprise I didnt have to bend the baffles at all. I cut through the 3 plates, folding them in so they would come out easy and it pulled right out.

It sounds SO much better. Now I wont be getting slip ons. this will work fine for me. I love it

I spent the 60 bucks for the 3" the 1.5" and the arbor, I had already drilled 8 holes a pc. in the pipes and it made a nice difference from stock, but when I went through all that to remove the baffles, I can tell absolutely no difference in the sound of it and the drilled holes, my friends can't either.

What is offered on the slip ons. I've owned a couple Harley's and I know no metric will ever have that sound, but I want something very loud, my friend has a vtx with 3" exhaust and it is numbing, I love it. Thanks,

That would be my question as well because there sure was a differance when I did mine and I put most of them back in.

Eight holes might not sound much different than 1st stage debaffle. The sound volume and tone definitely changes when you demickey.

If i need an extension what size extension would i need to get the other two out? I did only take the back plate out and the baffle. I want straight pipes and need estimated time on doing this, as I would like to get it done before 9am ride in the morning. Thanks!
