Default removed stock pipe baffles....

I was you-tubing couldn't find many resources on how the stock pipe sound without the baffles. So I just went and did it. I love the sound its deep and not to loud. I was not going for performance just wanted cars to hear me for safety reasons.

I did the same a while back, ended up "broomsticking" the SE cans I had and installed a minimal head pipe baffle. You will need to up the fuel too; listen for the pinging sounds like screws loose in the cylinders...
