Default Street Cannons too loud

I find the SC's are too loud on my Triglide and I would like to make them quieter. Does anyone know if the baffles can be changed and would it need adjustment of the tune?
I would prefer the low rumbling sound I have heard on other Harleys add they ride by

Good read. I still find it odd no one thought about tbe fulsac performance cores. Those are one of best sounding exhaust out there. You can manage the exhaust volume by chosing the correct size for the volume you want. 2.5 inch loudest, 2 inch best oerformance- kinda loud to some, 1 7/8 inch lower exhaust volume. Very easy install. Pre made, ready to install.
i dont know them other than my purchases.
Bassani carries a full line of muffler cores to but theirs are considered custom muliti fit so which one may take some phone calls.

I actually did...and reached out to them. They responded very quickly that their cores may work but they were unsure not having worked with the cannons...that's where I got the idea for using their screens inside the cans as I asked around on the CVO pages and they're about the same size as the CVO cans....

The cvo baffles are 25 inches long. The rings are 4 inches in diameter. I installed a set of the cvo baffles in our freewheeler. Not hard to do.
i cut 3 inches off the end of the baffles to fit the free mufflers.
i just told em what I was doing and they gave me a price of the parts. I got the cvo baffles with no mounting rings as I call em. Got the nounting rings and welded them my self. Boy they have a very deep sound compared the the factory cores
it did move the torque upward slightly. Helped the mid range some. Mpg went up 3 mpg

Pipes sound differently when you are on the bike compared with one that just past by. You should stand by the side of the road and let someone else ride your TG down the road and see if you like the sound better. It may well be "the grass is greener on the other side of the fence" thing. I also have SCs on my TG. I don't really love the sound but I don't hate it. My wife complains. I expected a deeper sound that I get. I do have Rineharts on my RKC, they sound much better.
