I dit not remove all the fiberglass, my dealer told me that the slip-ons may turn yellow because of the heat. Anybody heard about this problem ? If it is not true, I will remove it all ! What do you think ?

Has anyone had any problems when removing the baffels, I started but didn't want to go any further thinking that they should come out with less diffucalty.

Quick question on altering these mufflers. Does anyone have any experience with measuring, or just 'feeling', any increase in flow? I understand that the new SEII's have no more flow than stock. Does this mod help here too? Thanks, Frank

I checked the Big City Thunder site, and their baffles apparently fit the 2006 and earlier SEII slip-ons.
Regarding the flow of the new SE's vs. the SEII's, I don't know the answer. However, I wanted to retain the stock air cleaner and ECM map, and the 07 SE's allow you to do that.A remap is required if you go with a free flowing exhaust and/or a more open air cleaner. The stock map likes a good amount of back pressure to boost low-end torque. I'm sure that comes at the expense of top end power, but I'm no longer the speed freak I was when I was younger.

RE: 07 SE slip-ons - HELP!
Can anyone please tell me how to remove the dang screws? I have two of them on each of my RK pipes. The closer one was accesible with a pair of needle nose pliers to untighten the nut. The second one is too far it. I can't find a tool to unscrew the star head screws. I would appreciate any help you can give. Thanks!

This is what I've done to my quiet Screamin' Eagle 07slip-ons :

First, remove the 2 littles screws:

Then I used a wood stick, that fitted into the baffle and slam it on the ground several times to remove the baffle:

Here is the baffle :

I drilled holes in the baffle (10mm is about half an inch):

Closer:
Some new holes under :

I removed a little bit of fiberglass too. The most difficult part of it, is to aligned the littles holes for the 2 screws. I used sand paper to smooth the edge of the baffle to make it fit easier into the muffler. Another trick is to enlarge the 2 little holes for the screws on the baffle, It help when you put it back and they are not 100% aligned. I used a rubber hammer to knock the baffles back.
Here in Canada, cops are severe on loud pipes so this mod is just perfect for me. The sound is a little more quiet than the old SE slip ons but it's a lot better than stock 07 SE slip-ons. Another good point: it is written, on the pipes, that they are "street legal"

RE: 07 SE slip-ons - HELP!
I'm surprised the pipes have fiberglass packing in them. That would mean over time the sound would get louder and the fuell mixture would probably go out of whack. On a carb not a problem, but with EFI I'm guessing it may need a new download. Anybody with some real EFI tuning experience want to chime in on this?
