Default Python 2 into 1 baffle

I recently bought an 07 Street Bob and one of the things the previous owner had installed was a Python 2 into 1 pipe. It looks good with the 3.5 inch pipe but the PO had taken the baffle out and tossed it. This thing was LOUD. Don't get me wrong I like a nice roar when I crack the throttle but this is just plain ridiculous. So I bought a replacement baffle and installed it but... you guessed it... Now it's too quiet. The baffle is basically a smaller diameter pipe with an end cap and a bunch of small holes drilled in it. There is also a plug in the one end. My question is I want to get some more sound out of the pipes without getting crazy loud. Should I just drill out the holes that are already there or should I drill another hole in the plugged end? Any one have experience with this? Here's a link to the baffle for reference.

Default Still have that baffle?

Do you still have that baffle? I have the same exhaust and I've had two baffles break. I can't find a replacement because it's discontinued.

No I sold the bike and the baffle went with it. Just now I typed "Python 1861-0494" in to Google and got a bunch of hits. Try it and see. You may get lucky and find one
