Bob,

Well, that is another approach that I will consider. You took the  end plate out to cut off the baffle and left st stub on, is that right?

What did you think was wrong with the the sound? Was it tonal or decible problems?

That is correct. I have handle bar self amplified speakers and the new muffler sound made it hard to hear the music. Plus the sound was too brash. I have been near the Vance and Hines sounds and would go with that if I had a choice and wanted to spend the bucks. But, I know there are those out there that enjoy the sound of the muffler mod. If you have the time you can cut the baffles, drill the baffles until you get the sound you like.

I think the muffler mod is something most folks do for the $10 or so and the sound is great for that price.  But if money were not a problem would go for Vance and Hines or Cobra and such.
