Friends - was successfully able to remove the baffle padding and still not be obnoxiously loud or loose any performance...its a bit louder than before but definitely not deafening.

Huge Thanks to GriffinDenim13FLHX for all his support and help. Thanks to everyone who chimed in. If anyone wants pics or how to do it..please let me know.

Ride Safe!!

Yes please share. I've tried to get the baffle out of my Pro Pipe and can't even get the cap off.

Yes took out both of them. Could only get it to move about 1/4".

I've been contemplating doing this since I bought the OS 450 Titan slip ons. Only hesitation is being too obnoxious and or losing low end torque. This is the first bike I've had with quiet-ish pipes and I like it at times. But people dont seem to know I'm in traffic with them since they dont hear me as much now...

I tried cutting out the baffles on my stock RK slipons few years back and this is all there was:

no wading no packing.

I didn't think they were that much louder, just raspier. From the rider seat going down the road I didn't care for them with out the baffle sock.

What I should've have started with us what DK Customs did with their set of Hi Rollers:
