This is great.... just got one today... same color and everything... well mines an 07.... so just to clarify you said that you just "punched" out the baffles??? nice bike man!!!

[acatani]

Yeah...haha! I've "punched" the seals and the tiny pieces of metal went out on first three or four hard acceleration rides...

[gacsr]

thanks man!! Did you felt some changes on the torque or power??

[acatani]

Yes, a little bit. But the Dyna rejetting + SE airbox and filter compensated it very well. Fuel consumption is a bit higher after all this changes, but the bike is waaaay better!

[gacsr]

man i love that sound!!! How did you removed the mufflers seals?? Thanks man and great bike!!

[acatani]

It's very simple. Take an iron bar 3/8 in. diameter and about 23 in. lenght, no-sharpened tip. Introduce the bar 'til the seal and hammer it digging a hole. Move it laterally and repeat the process, until the seal breaks. Don't worry, it seems to be a "brutal" method, but don't forget: it's an H-D, man. Nothing will be damaged. You'll hear the loose seal making noises for a while, but hard acceleration will throw it off. The sound will become nice, not "screaming", very low note!

I have the same but a 2005. Nice!

[artemaestro]

perfect sound

[athroughme]

Nice. I've got a 2005. still haven't done anything i've wanted to do to it yet.

Nowadays I ride with debaffled SE slash cut slip-ons and the sound is great. But I kept these original semi-debaffled pipes because the sound is nice and they're better for long distance trips. Check this video with good quality loudspeakers and proper sound settings: you'll see... Thanks for comments!
