WOW!! Did the Jardine, and was somewhat pleased with the sound. Did the spacer thing, and the power was great. Removed the Baffle from the Jardine WOW! What a sound....very deep, mellow, and when you let off the throttle at speed...WOW!! Be careful of noise police, though! Took baffles out of my 2000 Hugger with SE/2's and it is not near as loud as the Savage...not even close!! (on the SPorty, has to do with the crossover reducing back pressure)
As for power, no significant losses noted, but I'm so pleased with the sound, I'm not complaining. For those that desire more back pressure in the exhaust, try drilling out the metal half-way in side the Jardine with baffle left in...will allow much more airflow, while retaining some back pressure and good sound.
Hope the info helps...or is not repeated elsewhere in the list. For baffle removal, simply drill-out the pop rivets in the pipe, and push the baffle out with mop hand (broom stick). I think that I could have solved the discoloration problems if I would have done this sooner. Does anybody remember the stuff that removes discoloration? Saw it on the Sportster Homepage www.sportster.org . Good luck!
Oh yeah, save the baffle, cause you can put it back in if you don't like the sound, or are arrested :)
