Harley Davidson Nightster?

I have a 2008 harley davidson nightster i want to debaffle it does it make it sound better or not a big difference, oh and how do i do it? They said drilling a 3/8 hole or even a 1/2 hole makes it sound good, sorry just have to save to get my actual vance and hines exhaust. thanks for the input.Harley Davidson Nightster?
OK, I'll do it again....



Be warned, both of these will affect your performance.

The complete baffle removal will drop your bottom end response noticeably.



You will need to remove the mufflers.

With a hole saw that just barely fits inside the end of the outer case, cut the baffle where it joins the case at the outlet end.

You may also use a Dremel or die grinder with a carbide burr.

Remove all sharp edges.

From the inlet end, push the baffle out. They are friction fit at the inlet, held in place by a rolled edge at the outlet (where you cut it free).



The other option, good sound, and retains some back pressure:

Remove the mufflers.

From the inlet end, insert a piece of 1/2" black iron pipe.

With a large hammer, whale it through the center plate in the baffle.

Drive the pipe completely through and out the other end.



With either method, you will want to re-tune. Even if you don't need to.

Chances are you will. You just changed the airflow through the engine, and may need more fuel to compensate.



You best bet would be to wait for your pipes (and tuner).
I do know that punching out the baffle is possible. I did it on my bike before I bought my exhaust. I put Python3 s on it and made a world of difference. But putting several 3/8 holes through the baffle plate is possible. Removal of the baffles is not.Harley Davidson Nightster?
Notice these questions on how to make exhaust louder always come from HD owners. I always love to hear their loud exhaust pipes as I blow by on my Victory.



Classic Harley low tech performance upgrade. Drill holes in the muffler.
You should be able to take the baffel out, the older Harleys had a nut and bolt holding them in.havent looked at the newer ones sorryHarley Davidson Nightster?
I would wait and save for the vance and hines. It will be worth the wait.
Have some consideration for others who are not thrilled with the sound of your wimpy bike.



Harley Davidson....number one at converting gasoline into noise without the pesky side effect of horsepower.
