Just bought a 07 fxstc and the po took the baffles out of the V & H ((bigshots?) Ill get some pics up this weekend). I just drove 30 mi to pick up the baffles because it sounds like a$$ and I'm getting alot of decel popping. What is the best way to clean the pipes to get the baffles back in? Wire brush and go to town? Is there a degreaser/cleaner anyone would recommend? I was thinking about using oven or grill cleaner but I dont want to jack up my chrome.

Thanks in advance for the help.

you dont really need to clean them, the baffles in both sets of my pipes (both V&H) have enough space around the outer diameter that they slide in fairly easily (keep them straight of course).. though if you want to, yeah, some Simple Green and a regular scrub brush (one of those things you'd use on a water bottle or something to clean out the inside.. like one of these bad boys


except one that fits in the pipe.. good luck

 

Thanks Jim. I tried sliding them in. They dont want to go.The Baffles are a lot longer than others Ive seen but open and less restrictive.They are about a foot long with a set screw on one end. The set screw hole on the pipe is about 4" from the end inside the pipe. They have to go along way.

 

The bottle brush worked. Took some scrubbin but theyre in!
