Default Cut baffles?

I'd like just a little more sound out of my Screaming Eagle II slip ons.

I am running a SE a/c and a pc3. Somebody told me it probably wouldnt hurt to take the baffles out ,, cut them about in half,, and re-install. Thoughts?

Also anybody ever done this. I think they are riveted in,,, so just take off the pipes ,, drill out the rivet and they should basically just slide out? Or am i dreaming?

I did this already, drilled out the rivots and used a pipe to push out the baffles, sounds great, but getting some popping.

I drilled larger holes in the SEII baffles that helped some, but the BCT baffles really did the trick.
