Rickr01, I've got the pro pipe chrome on my 2011 road king, remove the two screws that hold the baffle in and start your bike, let it idle for a couple minutes. The combination of heat and vibration pushed mine out a couple inches then I shut the bike off and it pulled right out.

My stock Pro-Pipe baffle was opposite. The steel wool was at the end tip with glass packing in the 1 inner section. I removed both only to find it a lot louder. then I bought 1/4" thick packing and wrapped both sides 4 times. Slipped right in with with perfect fitment and now is quieter than stock. Still throaty when you get on it.

Sound QUALITY is really decreased at all engine speeds. It may be a LITTLE more tolerable at speed but not MUCH difference. IMO...Wasted money...



Standard baffle TOP...quiet baffle BOTTOM

The quiet baffle was a pinch too quiet for me, greatly increased higher rpm vibration, and had a tiny sound. The standard baffle way too loud for my liking. I cut the packing off the quiet baffle, cut it down and filled the whole inner section to find a happy medium. Also tried filling the the inner section, 1/3 filled, 2/3 filled, but was happiest with the whole section filled.
