Loose baffle or something?
When I take off at low speeds or when I rev my engine just a bit while idle I can hear a faint rattling from one or both of my pipes. My pipes are stock, and my bike is a 2009 FXD Super Glide.
The sound seems to be coming from the end of the pipes where the baffle is. These seem to be tight to the touch. I can't wiggle them with my finger.
Any ideas for me to check?
Thanks!

Well, I took out the baffle I thought was rattling and then fired up my bike, and the rattle was gone. So, I reinstalled it, and made sure it was tight, and the rattle is gone. I think it may have just been loose somehow. It was there 100% of the time, and now it is there 0% of the time, so I guess that was it.
The brace on the inside was welded tight. I did notice that there was a hole drilled in the brace. I guess the previous owner made that mod. I assume that is for sound? The exhaust does sound good, in my opinion. Not too loud, not too quiet. Does anyone know if that drilled hole affects performance at all?
