Modifying stock Sportster Mufflers?
My wifes got a 2010 Iron 883 that sounds like a freakin lawn mower. The baffles on the stock mufflers are not removable so I was wondering if there is anything I can do to give them a little sound for now until I get some slip-ons or pipes for her?
Thanks in advance, JB

If you have air tools with a deburring tool you can cut the weld out (at the back of the muffler and the baffle will come right out) in about ten minutes. You can also get a 1 1/2" holesaw (less than $5 at Lowes) and cut the weld this way. The 1 1/2" hole saw fits over the extended lip of the baffle and grinds the weld off.
You maintain the crossover pipe, and the mufflers still say certified to less than __db.
works great and lasts a long time

Punch a hole in them and she'll sound like a VW farting.....at least those i know who did this and I've heard them.....
With all the chit now on noise, and laws being passed in different places, I'd save the stockers and maybe someday use them to pass a test if needed, then go home and put the slippers back on ....

I took off the muffler, grabbed a large metal 1 inch square bar and rammed it threw the muffler. Didn't cost a penny. Opened the muff up a bit, but not too much. The muffler is basically still intact the way it was before, its just louder. Heres a pic of the inside of the muffler. You can see the shape of the bar I used pretty plainly, and the bottom picture is what fell out the other end. Simple, free and easy. It achieved the results your after.
