Default Stock baffles removed

I recently bought a used 05 Low Rider and the stock muffler baffles have been removed.The bike has a extened warranty and the dealer said that this will not void it.I also asked a second dealership and they said the same thing.I think it sounds great and it runs very good.Its has no coughing thru carb.It also has stock air cleaner.Will this be allright and if not will I have to rejet if I only change out mufflers? Thanks in advance bobbyb46

this is fuel injected correct? If so, can't rejet...I don't advise running drag style(no baffles)...your losing too much back pressure and that you need for performance..Imagine how the bike will perform with some pressure since you think it is running great now !!

If it runs great, what is your question? the dealer gave you a thumbs up, you give the performance a thumbs up, why mess with it if you think it runs good. Your opinion on how it runs is all that matters since you are the one riding it !! must be really fast with no baffles !!! LOL..hows the top end perform?

Some folks say if the bike is running too lean it will burn up a piston.
