Default drilled baffles seII
well i got bored today and took my baffles out,i looked them over to see what i can modify,so i got a 9/16 drill bit and drilled all the holes in the baffles bigger than normal..to my surprise the pipes are a bit louder,and throatier sounding..im wondering if im the only one who has done this here..

Just got a set installed on my 1200. Sound is great. I'd like to hear them with modded baffles though.

I have the SEII pipes on my ride. Do the baffles just come out by unbolting them? Any pics on how to take them out? Me stupids

You are talking about inside the end of the slip ons correct? How much power do you think it would lose by leaving them out?
