I used a 3" hole saw for my triglide with oil for cutting took about, 3 minutes each side: then installed the Thunder Torque inserts for reversion... sounds great and runs great!

So I done this to my 2015 Road Glide Pros, sound amazing and only 20 minutes of work very easy. Cons, loss of low end torque do to no back pressure, Catalytic converter is during a bluish purple color, it pops every so often do to be ending lean, it seems O2 sensors didn't recalibrate air/fuel mixture, I don't recommend doing this save up for pipes.

Best part of the video is listening to the camera man breathe

Thanks for the video man. I know it's a few years old but still helpful. I just did this to my 2019 Road Glide. 30 minutes and both sides were done. Not sure why people are be bitches about the right side pipe. It was the exact same as the left. Thanks again bud!

Damn that guy recording needs a inhaler!! He was breathing so hard I thought the bike was on for a minute there! Just kidding I’m just being an ass, great video thanks!

Hmmm, must be pretty loud. I just drilled a bunch of large holes around the baffle and like the sound. Maybe a little too subtle for some.

A Dremel with a metal cutting blade will work if you done have a die grinder. Funny how ppl always do the left one , there's a reason the right side ( on Twin cams) is different and more difficult

I like the videos when they show what really happens when you run into problems. You don’t get caught off guard if they’re being realistic in their videos.

Have '01 Heritage with stage 1 kit. An 2 into 1 Screamin Eagle exhaust. The baffle n guts are held in by a Single Screw underneath. I pulled it all out. But lost power cuz No back pressure. So i cut the baff. in half an reinstalled it. Sounds fkn awesome an i got Not only power back but it Runs way better in performance too.

Mines 07 heritage, same thing. Just one bolt.

Why dont you get an extension and a set of "christmas tree" drill bits, and drill out the baffle to the diameter that gets you the sound you want?

One problem. You didn't show how to remove the right baffle. You and I both know it's a completely different process so why don't you make a video on the right side to show the difference.

@@ILikeWetVaginas any loss in power removing the baffles or did you add a Fuel pak kit to adjust motor to pipes ??

Pipes turning blue or popping. It's running lean. I would suggest remapping. If you have the credit card type fuel adjuster, enrich with more fuel.

You made that look super easy... Imma try that

Why didn’t you do the right one?is that right side different then the left?

I wanna hear how loud it is ??

We noticed a gain in power through the whole rpm range the smaller piping coming off the engine gives you enough back pressure you could weld them back in but you will be welding on the pipe thay is chrome on the other side so you will get color change

@coffindancer38

There is no way in hell you gor more power from that motor by taking out the baffles. Think for a minute. Ther is no chance harley designed an exhaust system that chokes power out of their product. You think it has more power becuase its louder. Not a chance.

add a lollipop to make up for low end like on the old dirt bikes just a washer welded to a bolt an its tuneable hahaha works great on a 09 flhx

I was looking to have trouble on my right pipe and it came out just as easy as the lift one. I was looking to have trouble. 2015 street glide special.

What about right exhaust?

You are good , try the right side now and see how much fun you will have

I have a 13 Street Glide and am interested in removing the baffles in the stock pipes, but everywhere I read, they are all saying they are losing low end torque. But, your saying you gained a bit of power ... Any thoughts?

Hello there … if i remove my baffle from my 2 into 1 pro pipes n run it that way , would it mess up my exhaust or will it be ok ?

What do you have to do after removing baffles? Is there any replacement of sensors, or changes in the engine?

That right one tho 😂

That's how you remove a baffle on the left side, right side is a bit more difficult

that sides easy...the right sides metal baffle is shaped differently and harder to remove.

Why not leave the packing in? Probably has a deeper, cleaner sound to it. Besides, over time I bet it burns out anyways so might as well enjoy the cleaner sound while you can. Or you can get more sound by taking the mufflers off and removing the packing from the back to leave the baffles in place, get more sound that way but not be stupid loud with empty pipes.

Do you think this is the same process for the stock pipes on my 2004 Road King?

will it not mess up the mapping and tuning on the fuel injection

Just wondering if you could remove the packing from muffler then weld the baffle back on for back pressure? And still get sound but not suffer low end power

So will this void my warranty

wtf was the hammer for

Would it be possible to remove the baffles from only one pipe and leave the other as is to get moderate sound level. .? or this will make pressure on one side of the engine.
