Mike, I feel your pain, your pretty much gonna have to get new pipes. The cheapest way to go is slip-ons, shop on the internet, you need even back pressure on both jugs so you don't screw up your motor. good luck!

I bought drag pipes off ebay a few years ago, just put them on and it runs fine. Never a problem with it. It was a 2007 1200.

I like Cycle Shack slip-ons, they come in different styles for about $100.

Buy a hole saw bit just a tad smaller than the inside diameter of the tail-end of the muffler, and go to town; they'll come out.
Either that, or drill a hole through the end plate of the baffle, again on the tail-end of the muffler. If you want more sound, drill another hole...
