Yes, the baffle looks factory and you cannot tell that it has been modified at all. That is good for all the townie cops around here, they just use the nightstick method of checking the exhaust and they can't get down it with the bar in the end. Also it still looks like a baffled exhaust and I just tell them that the fiberglass must of burned off and I have to repack it. Gets me off everytime for now, lol.

gtad1, how about some pics on your ventures. I also have plenty of tinker time while the weather sucks and don't really like the sound of the Rush slip-ons I have, looking for a deeper tone.

hmmm...you have me thinking again. I have some SC slip ons, but I kept my stockers. I've been shopping for some vance and hines pipes, but maybe I should play with this. So you use a hole saw to cut out the stock baffles, then you weld a piece of pipe stock inside the now empty muffler and slip the baffle inside?

not the stock baffle but the aftermarket baffle of your choice.

That goes without saying. Wouldn't make much sense the other way would it ;-)

Now to decide which baffle to get. Depending on ho wmuch they are, this is worth a shot while I save for the big shot duals. And if I like it, that money can go elsewhere :thumbsup:

I'm keeping my stock take-off mufflers for the chance that they may be needed, unmodified, just to get my plate renewed sometime in the future.
