While you have them out to hear what it sounds like, cut 3/4" off the front of the upper baffle and it will go back in (or out) easily.

This may be a newby question but here goes...

Had a friend tell me the new Harley's are self learning so to speak when something like Exhaust or Air Breathers are changed? Is this complete bull or is this the case with the 2009 Rocker?
Any info is appreciated..

Thanks in advance

It's bull. You need something like a Power Commander or SE tuner or ThunderMax with AutoTune if you change exhaust and breather.

Like alot of members have already said, you will lose ALOT of low end if you run without baffles. Think about it, most performance pipes are 2 into 1 like rienharts.
