Default noob question, hole drill

2015 lowrider. 2-1 stock. Is it worthit or will it change the tone some to pop a 3/8 to 1/2 hole in the cone shaped "cover" that is about 8 inches deep inside baffle?

It changes the sound louder when the center plug is punched or drilled. It sounds even better with the cat removed.

All sound. Won't change power. May actually lose a little low end.

You do. There is a cat in the headpipe, not the muffler.
