Looking from the exit end, the baffle is tapered. I just drill four 1/4" holes around where the tapered area (use pin punch to dent the area first so the drill bit won't walk). Sounds great after the mod.

American Customs will do the same thing you can do at home with the added bonus of welding flanges and the ability to remove the small baffles you drill out....this is what the stock baffles look like:

They take those, weld a plate so you can screw them back on to your stock pipe and charge you $70 for the same baffle..... Look familiar?
The sound of the pipe, without these baffles sounds like a car that lost its muffler down the street. My wife says she likes the sound, but a Harley should sound so much better.

Here is what I did to mine. 5 holes 1/2 X 5/8 put in with die grinder. You can actually hear it when stopped at a light.
