RE: stock touring mufflers
I believe the left and right have similar baffling. The difference is 06and
newer right side touring mufflers contain a catalytic converter. If you are wondering why most exhaust comes out of the Right muffler, its 'cause the
factory left side factory pipe is a T off the rear cylinder any flows very little.
It is a very poor design and is not a true dual with a crossover as many think.
I sold mine on e-bay for $90 and replaced with V&H dresser duals.

Does anyone know if the right and left side of stock mufflers are baffled different?

The right muffler has a series of chambers or at least a convoluted path into and out of whatever's inside. (To my knowledge the '07s do not have a catalyst system.)
The left one is basically one big hollow resonating chamber with a single tube at the rear end. The tube has a few holes in it. That's it.
Don't try to use the 2007 touring mufflers on a set of true dual head-pipes.
If you plan to just put aftermarket mufflers on and keep both your O2 sensors in service it would probably be a good idea to get a smaller baffle for the left side muffler than what's in the right. If you aren't going to use the sensors it doesn't matter.
