Re: How to drill out factory baffels

Brian, just go for it. No, it won't make it sound like a 2 Bros or a Leo, but it will give you a little more sound and won't set you back $700+. Won't piss off your neighbors, either, at 2:00AM. Sounds a little better than completely stock, anyway.

I used a 12" 7/8" bit on mine, took about 30 seconds for both pipes. Added 12 horsepower, 16 mpg, and makes the ladies swoon. I wish.

Re: How to drill out factory baffels

I would say do not do it, save up for some aftermarket pipes. I did it to my 061krr and regret it. I have since put a slip on scorpion and now want the stock exhaust back on. I like the silent stealth sound.

Re: How to drill out factory baffels

Please do not drill them out. Save up and get real exhaust. Drilling them out makes it sound like crap. After i bought my scorpions i drilled out the stock muffler just to see what the fuss was all about....it was horrible. Maybe my degree in music has trained my ears to hear certain tones, i dont know, but what i do know is it was the worst sounding exhaust ever.




Sorry, got carried away.....its your bike do what ever you want If i had listened to half the people i ride with i would be riding a harley right now and following the rest of the sheeple.

Did you remove your muffler, or leave it on the bike? I was worried about the metal shavings from the baffles getting in places it should not be. Thoughts?

Hey if you still have it around you want to loan the OEM can to me, I wouldn't mind adjusting them to see what kind of sound I could get without destroying mine.
