I was thinking of taking the baffles out of my se slipons and removing the wrap to make them a bit louder. A friend says that it may make them sound tinny as in metal sounding. Also would it affect the mapping or would i get away with it Tks Peter D

Just removing the fiberglass wrap does make them sound tinny and hollow. Drilling additional holes will help with that and make them sound better. I put 18 additional holes in them and it makes a big difference.

Where did you drill the holes? I have the quiet baffles in my V&H Straightshots and don't like the sound. Thinking on going back to the standard baffles.

In reference to affecting the map, any change that small and you will be fine
