how do I remove the stock baffle on the pipe? I'm just looking for a better sound without having to buy a slip-on right now... will this hurt the engine any?

Just take the end cap off by the bolts, its worth a try to see if you like it. And if you wash it dont let the water get in there.

yea u might as well try it out,i ran mine like that for almost a month b4 i bought my slip-on,dont hurt anything and its louder then stock ;)
it wont hurt. i think it sounds better than stock cuz its deaper sounding. if u remove your air box lid it gets louder too. i no every one will say no it dont but try it. if u do it will jumps a couple dbs and u have to rejet. i no it will

Did it to mine, didn't sound all that bad, but wouldn't stay running because there was no back pressure! So I will deal with the stock sound until a little birdy drops a money seed in my yard!:rolleyes:

How long have you had yours out? Did u cut it out or take the whole thing out with the bolts? I took the bolts off and it runs fine, but needs rejeted here soon.

I put it back in because in order to run with it out you have to rejet, and I figured I would wait to rejet when I get another exhaust.

Thats a sign of jetting, you could run just the open header as long as it was jetted correctly.:)

Sure, I would rather wait to rejet when I got another exhaust though, but it's your bike and your choice!
