Remove Baffles on Vance & Hines Hight Output 4.5" Mufflers 

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

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

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.

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

broom sick and nail

Where did you get the hook for the tool?

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

Lets hear that rumble...

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

Will that tool work in any slip-on?

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

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?

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

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

Did u have to tune it after removing the insulation?

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

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! ???
