you've got a $1500 exhaust system and you want to destroy it? i would look for something else and keep your system intact. at worst, you could sell it and recoup some of the cost.
Yes, more than likely those will pull the inner cones and there will be the baffles sleeves. How new is the system? It'll take around 500 miles to break in the baffles to a nice deep rumble. But yes, if you are looking for more sound it will do it at a cost. More airflow/less backpressure will change how the engine runs. Are you running an aftermarket can? If you are, then you will likely need to re-tune the system. But as Skratch said earlier, why spend that kind of money on a system and then change it?
those street cannons get great reviews on here for a nice deep rumble an more volume without being obnoxious....If a cheap enough pair popped up I'd like to try them.
be aware that there are 2 different street cannon systems. the one the op has has no cat in the headpipe, but each muffler has a cat in them. then there are slip ons, which do not have cats, they are meant to go with stock headpipes. and they are not interchangeable. the inlet sizes are not the same as stock so you can't just use the se headpipe and non-cat mufflers. conversely, you wouldn't be able to use those mufflers on any other headpipe either.
op, once you get the baffles out, you're still going to have to do something about the cat in there.
The Harley Street Cannons I put on my 2015 Ultra Limited are straight through. The Catylist is in the head pipe where the front and rear cylinder pipes come together, roughly where the transmission is. Without the Catalyst I found the now fully open system to be just a bit on the obnoxious end of the dB spectrum. Presently running the original header, with the Catalyst and the Street Cannon mufflers.

The system has over 10,000 miles on it, and the sound still is very quiet.
I realize I'd need a re-tune, which is fine, just looking to increase the sound without having to buy all new.

Reason: Typo
I have the slip on and have grown to love them. There are a few videos on YouTube about baffle removal, but to me they just sound raspy. Best way to get a little more out of your exhaust is to put a little bit more oomph into your motor. I know your looking for a cheaper solution per your posts, but a stage three would make your exhaust sound really nice.

Yeah, I already have a stage 2 with a power cam, and that made the sound a bit better, but not like my older non-cat bikes. Oh well, guess I have to keep it or change it all out.
