I tried removing the baffles and was able to get one out. The other was stuck. I tried to knock it out with no results. Any ideas? I have the screamin Eagle slipons.

I was told you definetely want the pack presure. If not, shortens the life of the engine.

Not sure about the baffle but it would only hurt engine if not setup right and ran lean.

Why not buy a cheap pair from JP Cycles I think there $4. I think they sell a 4 inch long model. That should quiet it down a bit and add some back pressure.

For the guys trying to remove, borrow a slide hammer and they will come right out.
