RE: Thunder City Baffles Installed-Rumble!
I didn't have any problems removing the old baffles. Didn't take off the SEII's either, just kept them on. Once I removed the two bolts, I sprayed some WD-40 in there around the perimeter, used a pair of needlenose pliers and just pulled the old baffles out. The slid out very easily.

Is it really an 'improved' sound or just louder? Rumble and throaty would be good - just loud, not so good, IMHO.

May be a dumb question but are there any baffles available that can be used on the factory pipes that will make them sound better but not a lot louder?

Not a dumb question. If you're referring to the stock slip-on mufflers, I don't know of any aftermarket inserts. Looking at my stock 06's, it looks like it would be a major pain to get the baffles out.
FWIW, I had no problem gettingthe bafflesout of the SE-2 slip-ons but they only had a couple of thousand miles on them.

Jim,
I checked my original mufflers and I don't think there's anyway to change the baffles in them. There's no bolts or screws from the outside. It looks like the factory mufflershave the baffleswelded in there so I guess theoretically one could change the baffles but they would have to be cut up in some way.
