hey guys, as im too cheap to buy a nice exhuast (cant do performance mods on re: ) im makin mine look pretty.
have heard of drilling out the baffles.
is this solely for noise? will i need to help her breath, maybe a k&n filter? or is it a waste of time, will the sound go more throaty or higher pitch.
sounds a bit "screamy" as it is so a deeper rumble would be nice

i am after better exhuast after opens expire but for now just wanna mix it up a bit.
my bike still looks standard, so i wanna chane that. i saw a factory harley yesterday, black bits everywhere, was sposed to be factory custom but still looked factory
i prefer custom some prefer classic
i got in trouble once for my 72 VH charger, had a wild 318 and all the go fast bits, gee the pureists hated me for that

Drilling out exhausts can be a tricky affair. Drill too many holes and it may end up sounding "tinny" or just aweful. You can try drilling them and start with 2-3 each and see how it sounds. You can then add more as it goes.
Kingy didn't you drill your exhausts?

I drilled the exhaust on the 600,three 10mm holes in each baffle,worked OK,got it off a UK site.

No real way to compare,but definitely sounded better,but who knows what their bike really sounds like unless somebody else rides it. (thanks Ken!)
