I hope I have a clear question and get helpful answers.

I am running straight pipes right now on my 2013 HD LImited. I have not noticed any loss in power or anything mechanical so my question is~

If I have a pair of slip ons that have the baffles in them, If I cut all but the last couple of inches and pinch the tube together like some of the baffles I have seen on the internet will that get a deeper sound or will that work at all?

Just gonna try different things unless someone has done that and it is a complete waste of time.

Thanks for any respones in advance.

 

Might wish to try the slip ons as delivered before cutting the baffles
If it`s too quiet , cut the baffles in stages to get the desired noise level
Easy to cut off, not easy to add back on

EDIT: Yes, I have done this minus the "pinching" you mention. V&H slip ons.

 

OP - is that FtW HD in your photo?

 

Wrapping the baffles lowers the tone, and protects the cans.

You might want to look at using lollipops in the mufflers. They change the sound and help with the performance.
