American Custom Pipes

You can use locktight if you want to but use the blue. To remove, take your bags off, remove the two bracket Allen screws, lossen the clamp bolt and yank them off. Reverse to put them back on. It's that easy. If you reuse clamp be sure to retighten after the exaust get's hot or just go to dealer and get a couple more.
You need to get used to it as you have to remove them to get the rear wheel off. Of course if you ain't mechanicaly inclined taking the rear wheel off is a real party ....
 
The "loud" is no baffles. "Medium" is two short baffles (which I ordered originally, but found it to be too loud). "Stock" is a long in the right, short in the left (I ended up ordering the "stock" long baffle by itself, as I already had the pair of short baffles).

I tried the "stock" long right baffle and no left baffle (similar to my old Max 2 Superflows where I used the stock right muffler and Superflow's left muffler, which is basically an empty muffler). Didn't really find it 'right' - but not bad. Still wanted to tame it just a whisker - So, put in the left (short baffle), too quiet - started drilling holes and after 20-ish 1/4" holes, I'm "happy dude."

No adjustments necessary if you're using the stock air cleaner setup.

The "sweet spot" in the back pressure was when a quick twist went from "vroom--ahhhh" to "Brrrrap--pu-pahhh" (for lack of better terminology). "Hard bark / hard release" instead of the Buick-ish "soft" up & down.
 
Exactly what I was looking for!! I think I will order a set!! Im curious why you didnt split the holes you drilled between the two baffles?

Getting that "stock" baffle in was a bit of a thing... Once it was in and lined up properly, I really didn't want to try that one again.

Plus, I've always had luck opening the left... There's enough air coming out of the right side - Getting more flow out of the left is nicer for the "rumble" (while more of the right is more of the "clack") and the heat buildup tends to follow the air - So the right-side thigh-burner (at least on the 08's) is reduced nicely.
