    Picked up a Bobber and would like a little more of a note from it until I get an after market set that I like.

    Was thinking of maybe drilling a couple of holes inside the baffles ... anyone done this or have other idea's to achieve some more noise? Cheers

    Seems no one has, but I know people have drilled holes in after market baffles to get their desired "tone"

    I'd store the OEM exhausts and put some after market slips on with universal mountings. Must be plenty of options out there.
