Removing Vance and Hines baffles???
I have a 00 deuce with a screamin eagle 95 with a heavy breather and vance and hines straight shots. I'm wanting it to be louder but was wondering if it would affect the power or the way it ran if i remove the baffles. I'm sure someone has removed theirs before. Just looking for opinions.

I'm no mechanic but i know my way around a wrench..and a wench, but i wouldn't call her that to her face... anywho.. if you take the baffles out my understand is that you're lowering the back-pressure that they create within the pipe, therefore lowering the backpressure that the engine needs in order to keep that piston firing the way it should..so yes your performance will be affected.

I have straight shots, all you do is pull the pipes off at the half way point and underneath you'll see a hex bolt. That's all that holds the baffle in. I put in the Big city thunder quiet baffles. Here's link to youtube of before and after. Sound doesn't do justice in video almost sounds the same but the Big city baffles give it a deeper mellow sound.

i was running vance and hines duels i removed the baffles and my bike ran like crap especially at low rpm had a lot of hesitation. You need the back pressure i was told most fuel injected bike run better with baffles. i put the quiet baffles in with out the packing and i was able to get the sound i wanted.

Leave them in. Previous owner of my bike took them out. It sounded terrible, especially when rolling off the throttle. Fortunately the baffles were included with the box of take off parts I got with the bike. I put them back in and while it didn't really quiet it down, it made the sound deeper and it runs much better.
