    Drilling baffles require rejecting?

    Since I don't feel like spending the coin to get an aftermarket 4-1 exhaust I was thinking about drilling out the baffles. Not really going for any performance gains just looking for that deep throaty sound. Will this require rejecting? Any help would be appreciated.

    Unless you totally remove the baffles, you will not get anything resembling "deep and throaty". Even then, it won't sound all that good.

    By the time you get around to totally removing the baffles, you will have introduced jetting problems in your bike and hate amongst your neighbors.

    How good is your stock system? Maybe someone will be willing to trade their clapped-out system that already has a head start on baffle removal (rusted out) for your good system.
