Have seen some comments that the whistle / chirp can can be banned by cutting out the bar... which I did and its gone

How do you remove the baffle now?

Does the DB Killer still quiet it down enough that it's useful to have?

Great idea on removing the bar but doesn't it pose a problem if you are checked by the local police? I admittedly have never worried about noise levels on my bikes so I don't know much about the function of the DB killer outside toning down the exhaust note.

My dealership removed the DB killer when they fitted the new exhaust and after riding it for a week I won't be using mine. I happen to be in an area that I have never had an officer check noise levels and even without the DB killer the exhaust on mine is much less noise than my previous Sportster. It is music to my ears.

What's the bar? Surprisingly hard to find any photos of this exhaust except for the side shot.

Here's mine, removed it today coincidentally.

See how the pipe is welded in the centre? Well that's where the bar is connected. Then there is the outer collar which fits snugly in the end of the exhaust, and is held in place with the small screw you can see fitted through a matching hole in the exhaust.

Hope that helps.
