Default Softail slim baffles

Hi there. Trying help a friend out. He has a 2014 Softail slim and he wants to remove the baffles.

Is there a write up or a video you can point me towards so I can help my brother out.

YouTube baffle removal Harley. Also search the forums however the concensus is the sound improvement at best is still mediocre. Keep in mind there's still catalytic converters in the exhaust body. Many praise the cycle shack slip ons which are reasonably priced.

I think they're held in with rivets
Can always take the can out and drill at both ends if you wanna leave the rivets in one piece. Though button hex or allen screws and a nut will hold the baffle in place after rivet removal

Once he gets the baffles removed he may want to consider going with something like the Thunder Torques to increases his Low & Mid Range Torque.

Below is a video that will also help him out on removing baffles
