The longshots (and I expect most V&H pipes) have a screw holding the baffles in. Remove the screw, pull the baffle, and like Elmo say, plug the hole. It might lean it out a bit due to less restriction.

I don't know if you will experience anything but improved performance. I took My baffles out of the V&H's on my '99, had them sandblasted, and never put them back. If you do pull them out make sure there are no holes in the end of your pipes facing the fender. I had that situation and quickly put in a couple of long bolts; to stop it from burning my fender and have something in the pipe if anyone wanted to check the depth.

Back in 2010 several people removed the baffles on their V&H pipes...

After parking beside a few Harleys with very loud exhausts I have sort of been toying with the idea of removing mine for a short while to see what difference it will make..

My bike is a 1999 model first registered in 2000 and I am wondering if removing the baffles will affect the performance and if so, in what way..

As I am the sort of person that soon loses interest in add on's and modifications I would like to be able to replace the baffles after removal..so any suggestions will be welcomed.

Thank you..

John.
