Default modifing muffler on 2011 wide glide

Hey i bought a 2011 wide glide and it sounded like a scooter. I looked everywhere for a fix without spending over 500 for slip ons. So I removed the baffling from the muffler by drilling out the 3 rivets in the side of the muffler. I then took the back if the air box off ande by changing those two things it now sounds like a Harley. The performance also increased as far as I can tell Taking to have it tuned tomarrow and will post the results
