I'm sorry but this sentence does not compute - there is no "...too loud"

It's a short can but I think the baffle has been removed. Is there any way of checking if there gone? Can you buy baffles or will I need a new pipe?
Hopefully the baffle will still be in it thereby making the remedy very simple -

(1) Start bike up and revel in the glorious sound of a V Twin internal combustion engine

(2) Turn engine off

(3) Wait for exhaust to cool down then remove baffle

(4) Repeat (1) but have a cloth close to hand in case blood from the ears needs mopping up

(5) Turn engine off

(6) Wait for exhaust to cool down then replace baffle

(7) Repeat (1) this time wondering what all the fuss was about - it's really not that loud

Making exhaust quieter..?
 
Easy.
I live round the corner from the Beowulf factory. They can 're-sleeve' it and make it a tad longer.. I was asking about it yesterday.

You can buy the bits to redo it yourself.

Good plan Jon. Or do what I did, get a husband with an even noisier exhaust than your own, then make him leave the quiet cul-de-sac you live in ten minutes before you. I never wake my neighbours as Mr LPH has already done it.

Not since I fitted the Beowulf and the baffle accidentally fell out on the garage floor.

Iv got the longer version and thats plenty loud. Especially is that baffle mysteriously finds its way out of the exhaust and under the rear seat.

On mine atleast, it is just a hole in the exit pipe and the thread is on the baffle itself. Thus i wouldnt be able to leave the allen head bolt in without the baffle.

I bet it is just loud with that stubby. Does it not just make you grin when you open it up though? ;).
