Screamin Eagle slip on baffles are held in by 2 tamperproof screws, bigcitythunder.com do replacement baffles but I don't know what they sound like.

Do you have an audio file online somewhere ? I punched the original baffles out.

Crappy vid, but it gives a good idea, comparing to stock 883 and stock exhaust.

Buyer beware...

The SE slip ons you installed most likely are the new model EPA compliant pipes. The front pipe baffle cannot be removed - it is attached to a catalytic converter of some type - the rear of the baffle is larger than the pipe exit.

You're best off getting another set of pipes, or going for another non-cat pipe from a 04-05 bike.

My .02 that I found out the hard way... but those BCT baffles sound pretty cool...
