My neighbor gave me his slash cut pipes off his '05' and I took 2 of the 4 baffles out. YES 4 are in there. Anyway, it sounds great. Not too loud, nice thump. Having said all that, I don't think taking just 2 baffles out should make a hairs difference in jetting. I know their pretty lean from the factory, but I can't believe that they are THAT fine tuned. OK, so I'm going to call my dealer tomorrow and make sure. Will keep you informed. BTW, runs great too!!!

Are you surfing from work? When I do the company firewall blocks any images that are hosted on Photobucket, Picasa, etc. Oddly enough they don't block Flickr.

My bike is a 2008. Just bought before Memorial Day.
Would that be a TBA or SM? I'm not getting the pics for some reason. I'm getting everyone else's pics. Are those the slash-cuts or bullit tips?

Took 2 baffles out of the pipes my neighbor gave me.1st one took 2.5hrs. 2nd one took 20min. Now that's learning from your mistakes! Sounds terrific. Called the dealer and no need to re-jet. Still gets enough back pressure for scavaging. After a weeks riding it's actually getting a little louder. I didn't want obnoxious. Now, I can hear it going down the highway and actually helps me keep a steady speed. BTW, I used a sharpen chisel and a long screwdriver(sharpened) to simply punch slot around the baffles. They weren't on the bike. Plus could not believe how easy they were to swap out. 15min.
Ride on all.

Long "rebar" rod and a mallet. pop off the pipes. if u have a saw horse clamp it down with the tail end facing up and the front that connect to the headers, let that sit firm on the ground. helps if someone holds it steady while you put the rebar into the pipe and hammer away. the baffles are only tac welded so when u hit the weld they come off. I removed 3 baffles from each ( I beleives there's 4 total?) Gave it a loud harley sound. Not too obnoxious though.
Then untwist a wire clothes hanger and leave a hook at the end to fish out each baffle as u remove them.
When they are done make sure you rejet the carb especially if you're doing a air intake modification also.
More air needs more fuel.

OK. I'm new to this forum but I got up this morning, read this article and decided to modify my exhaust. The directions are dead on. It took me about 3 hours (took my time) but I got it done.
I used a 2 1 3/8" hole saw blades (one for each pipe...about 9.50 from Home Depot, made by Rigid), a hammer, vice grips and a long thin flat head screw driver.
Drilling was a pain but it was easy compared to all the banging and pulling I had to do to get the baffles out. Once you've drilled through the back end of the pipe, take the screw driver and use it to pop holes into the weld plate (about 6" inside the pipe end). After you've put enough holes through the plate, the baffle will start to sink into the exhaust pipe. Use the vice grips to pull them out. Sounds deeper and chunkier and saves you 400 bucks.
Ride safe.
