BD's Bafflectomy Instructions Reversing?

:-/ I've been readin about BD's Bafflectomy Instructions, and I have a question or 2. First, is this a proceedure that can be reversed, or is it once they are out, they are out for good? I'd kinda like to hear a Nomad without 'em in, but I know no one in my area that's done it. If I was to do it, I'd want to know if I can undo it just in case. Any input here? :-/

Be the first on your block. Dare to be different! You won't want to change them back.

BD's Bafflectomy Instructions Reversing?

1) Technically it Could be un-done......

Keep in mind and dings/damage/scars to the end of the baffle would show.

I was in the exact same shoe, I was trying for the last 2 months to "hear" what it sounded like before I jumped off the bridge but I wasn't able to make the rallies and couldn't find anyone close enough to check it out so I just did it.

PS I'm originally from the Cleve-Akron area living in MI now, I see your from Ohio, where are you at? Maybe we could meet somewhere and you could hear mine.

I am from the very southern tip, where Wva, Ohio, and KY all meet in a small town called Chesapeake. I'm just across the river from Huntington, WV.

Honestly, if you love a deep rumble on a bike, you will not regret doing this mod. The loudness will not be an issue either. There is no drone when you are at higher speeds like other exhausts can have. I have V&H Longshots on my Honda Sabre and believe me it is loud ALL the time.

Take a listen but it sounds so much better in person

the bafflectomy will give you slightly more rumble/deeper tone but not alot. its still pretty quiet compared to after market pipes. If thats what your looking for, drill away. :-)
