V Star 1300 muffler modification (drilling out the baffle)

I drilled out the wall of the baffle on my V Star 1300, it has a much nicer tone now. I recommend listening to this video with headphones so the audio comes through better. Big props to RAM4X4MAN for publishing this video: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=wTl6BWYJVLs. Watching that vid gave me the balls to go through with it. :)

It was CRAZY easy. Check out this vid in the description, it shows you just how easy it is.

Thank you for showing us this video. You inspired me to do the same thing to my 2007 V-Star 1300. The piece of the Baffle got stuck in the pipe and I had to fish it out. It was partially in and I noticed the sound being different just a little bit. I check the pipe with a flash-light and saw the baffle piece stuck. Once I got it out!!! Wow. Great Sound. It's was better than I expected. Thanks for the video...

Sounds not too bad actually... better than stock. I just bought me a 1300 and would like to do the same. What did you use and how easy or difficult is to do if you are not that handy.
