I cut the weld, removed the baffles, cut 7" off of the mufflers, cut the baffles in half, and then welded the baffles back in. Vast improvement on looks and a little better sound (deeper but not loud at all). I may drill out the baffle after the bike has some mileage on it.

    First off, you did a great job with customizing that stock exhaust. Sounds friggen great. I'm considering doing it myself. But there is an another amazing exhaust solution im considering, the problem is they cost an insane amount. $2k-$3k. Dr. Jekill and Mr. Hyde. You get 3 different exhaust note settings in 1 exhaust and you have an electronic button that hooks up to your handlebar so you can change with a button press. You can quiet mode, balanced mode and full beast mode and I gotta say it's an incredible and very appealing solution. But for the Scout, it's around $2.4k, but you can customize it to your liking. It's one of the best sounding ive heard in balanced and fully unleashed but it's a steep price.
