Removed the baffles from my 2014 SG

[Eric G.]

After reading about guys pulling the baffles and packing from the stock mufflers, I decided to have at it. Well, I haven't gone for a ride yet, but I can't say I'm sold on the sound. Rather disappointed actually. It is definitely louder, but has a hollow tone to it. It just doesn't sound right, or like a Harley should.
Anyone else have this problem? Bike is all stock otherwise.

Eric,
Poor sound quality is Usually the case with gutted bagger mufflers.
You have three choices:
1) ride the bike as is
2) contact www.fullsac.com and buy the recore kit
3) buy different mufflers.

Blues said it best..... can't out it any simpler....

When I did mine I found that it didn't sound right. So I bought s tuner and gutted the cat. It took that puff puff sound to s thump thump with the cat gone. It is a pain in the butt to remove though

Does Fullsac have a kit for street glide mufflers? I thought it was for CVO mufflers.
I replaced the cat head pipe and added stock CVO mufflers to get enough good noise to make me happy.

Yes Fullsac has a version of the CVO recore but for stock muffs. $200 will get you new cores and muffler end caps. The kicker is you have to slice off the end of the OEM muffler. There is a picture and info on their website I listed above.
Like you Mike, I'm also running a stock set if CVO take offs. Plenty of noise for me. Too many years of straight pipes in the day.

BTW, I'm also an old Mike

I'm a fan of H-D Street Cannons with the stock head pipe. The best I have heard IMHO. I get lots of compliments on the sound. Read the reviews on the H-D store.

Should have left the packing in and add lolly pops in the end.

I'm going to grab these tonight. Anyone have info on what they may be, or how they'll sound?

I gutted my mufflers and I think they sound pretty good. At first I thought it was a hollow sound, but after riding a few hundred miles I haven't noticed it or got used to it. I kind of like the way they sound now actually. I always heard the screaming eagle pipes wasn't loud or sounded good. Around here I haven't seen anyone with a set for me to hear in person. That's why I did what I did to begin with. Lol

I gutted the cat from mine and put on Street Cannons....they sound real good.

Update: I bought some Rush slip ons, stock header with cat delete, and a Tuner. She runs pretty hard now. Just pulling the cat alone increased the sound by quite a bit.

Thanks for the update! Sounds like you have the bike dialed in to your satisfaction.

Eric G. I love my full Rush Exhaust system. The ceramic coating really stops the heat on the right side!
