Default Exhaust question

Just put this exhaust on my FXD:

http://www.powersportsuperstore.com/...tm?Click=35177

Actually I got the straight cut.

The exhaust is SLIGHTLY disappointing from a volume point of view, but the bikes runs well.

I suppose I could either modify the baffles or remove them completely if I really want to make it louder.

If anyone has any experience, what would be the best way to modify the baffles?

What would be the consequences of modifying them?

Removing the baffles would be easy, but what should I expect if I do so?

Thanks in advance.

I don,t think you will ever get the SOUND your looking for with a stock motor .
I have an 08 WideGlide and with the help of a Power Vision I have it running well .
I have added more fuel and slowed down the idle and it sounds better and runs cooler .
A good cam would really help .

You might try Big City Thunder monster baffles.

+1. Rush also makes different size baffles, give them call.
