Remove Baffles on Vance & Hines Hight Output 4.5" Mufflers

[@juanforlife]

i used a strap wrench and twisted them out. Cool idea you came up with.

[@MrCaliboss]

this is the first time ive seen anyone get this done. good job. But I want to add something not to be a know it all. after seeing you do this it dawned on me to just remove the muffler and use a pipe to hit it out from behind. It was real easy, one or two lite taps and out it came. Getting the muffler off? not so easy but I got it done without a slide hammer.

[@jithendraanjuri4934]

sorry for the delay..just seeing these: 1. where did I get the hook - it was part of a slide hammer kit that I got from HarborFrieght. You can get that tool kit from any hardware store. not sure if you can get the hook alone. buy the kit...use only the hook and you can return it after done ;) 2. Fiberglass - i removed it totally and low end sucked big time. Put everything back together but the sound was too mellow for me. I cut the fiberglass packing into half : (i) first I packed it at the lower end of the baffle - closer to the head pipe and took it for a ride...it wok but not to my satisfaction. (ii) then packed it towards the farther end of the baffle - closer to the exhaust...VIOLA!! achvied the deep throaty rumble I wanted and dint have any issues with low end lag hope this helps!! good luck

Hi thanks for the video? Do you have a link for the slide hammer? I’m not able to find a longer one like in your video. Thanks for your help.

[@lomparti]

When doing (ii) did you leave the packing in the front or you removed that and just put it in the back near the exhaust side?

[@davemagee]

So easy without the baffles being covered with sound proofing wrap did mine yesterday I nearly gave Up they packed them so well. Mine were on a 2015 road glide Not New pipes 🙂 All the best anyway from NZ

[@lomparti]

How does it sound without the packing? Is the sound just as deep but louder or the sound changed completely?

[@dangerwing]

Where did you get the hook for the tool?

[@badgerdave215]

I'm with Daniel, where did the hook come from? Thanks.

[@mymm6327]

Will that tool work in any slip-on?

[@brettm5186]

Where did you get the hook that attaches to the rod?

[@korbinfeuerbach8944]

I have the same muffler and would like to hear it. I'm going for the deeper throatier tone. Can u post a video of what ur bike sounds like?

[@jithendraanjuri4934]

Korbin Feuerbach sorry brother, I no longer have that bike. Read through the comments and that should give you a good idea.

[@korbinfeuerbach8944]

Ok thanks do you know anything about drilling the baffles out instead cuz I'm worried about hot spots

[@jithendraanjuri4934]

Korbin Feuerbach not sure my friend..sorry! :(

[@bane1240]

do U have a parts list for this? Just tried a rubber strap wrench and no luck at all.

[@jithendraanjuri4934]

Bane1240 got the hook from freight harbor and the steel rod from any hardware store..

[@bane1240]

@@jithendraanjuri4934 - Thanks. I checked Harbor Freight and didn't see the hook in their slide hammer but I did find it at Home Depot. Will give this a try later this week. Thanks for the video and response.

[@keithbaruzzini2273]

Did u have to tune it after removing the insulation?

[@jithendraanjuri4934]

nope

[@GruntHarley]

Lets hear that rumble...

[@jithendraanjuri4934]

JaRHead0311 ...hey man, sold the bike...the rumble was unreal 🤙🏼🤙🏼

[@GruntHarley]

@@jithendraanjuri4934 What you riding now?

[@edsmith2562]

Man, I bent a piece of wire in a vice and pulled mine right out.

[@jithendraanjuri4934]

Ed Smith good for you brother...some are forgiving..some are very stubborn...mine felt like it was welded on lol

[@TD-cm7vw]

Does anyone know how to remove the double slash baffles?! I can't find anything online!

[@Wasted2134]

Got the same problem, were you able to figure it out?

[@franklinfannin1610]

broom sick and nail

[@jithendraanjuri4934]

franklin fannin really?? Those baffles are very stubborn and I dont think a broom stick will do the trick. If it worked for you, thats good man :)

[@MrBurlybiker]

Hey bro I have over sized 450 black I got the right one out but the left is being a bitch! I made your tool . But I think my handle is to light . What did u use for the sliding handle! ???

[@jithendraanjuri4934]

hey man.. it was part of the slide hammer kit I got from HarborFrieght. you could use the handle that comes with any kit..just make sure its a bit heavy

[@MrBurlybiker]

Jithendra Anjuri thank bro I been frustrated with this shit last couple days . Lol

[@MrBurlybiker]

Went to Harbor freight. Go t the slide hammer ! Went ace hardware and got the long rod and washer and bolts! Built this tool exactly ! This really works my left side was so stubborn!!! But with this tool it was so easy! ThNx for Sharing

[@jithendraanjuri4934]

I am so glad...its an amazing feeling when things workout well. Safe riding brother.

[@robinmurray4273]

Seriously Albert? Much, much more work removing the slip on to remove the baffle than this technique.
