Default stock mufflers

QUESTION.........
Can the baffles be taken out of a stock Harley muffler?
And if so, how to go about it?

You'll get far more information if you simply use the Search function than you'll ever get in response to this thread. Sorry, but...

They do it for you. Seems to be a headache to do it yourself. And AC puts in a flange so you can put baffles in for a variety of sound.

1 1/2" hole saw works great.
