Default 2012 Fat Bob Baffles

I have a a new 2012 fatbob with 216 miles. I can't hardly hear the exhaust. Does anyone know if I can take the baffles out without making any kind of computer adjustments. I'd like to either take out the ends of the exhaust that are riveted in or alter them somehow. I'd prefer to alter the exhaust rather that spend big bucks on a new system, then do the computer tune up. My last Harley had a carb so the fuel injection changes would be new to me. Any positive replys are appreciated.

i have a 2008 fat bob with cycle shack slip ons which look just like stock. Definitely louder and lower growl. alittle more get up and go but nothing to write home about. About 300 bucks and no re mapping what so ever and the baffles look smaller. U cant see them nuless u look down the pipes.
