It removes the back pressure that motors need to run correctly, and it makes the engine run leaner, which equals more heat. Both directly effect your engines performance, horsepower and MPG. If you want to change the sound of your pipes, you need to do it correctly. Purchase better slipon muflers from dennis kirk or J&P cycle (both online), then, add a bigger air intake like the stage 1 from HD etc. then you will have to make an adjustment to the air fuel mix. If carburated, you will need to re jet, if fuel injected you will need to re map the efi. None of this is cheap. But you will get a better sound, more horsepower, more torque,better MPG and a cooler running motor. How much HP you gain depends on which pipes etc you use, and how well you set the bike up afterwords. I gained 30HP and brought the torque up to 90FT LBS on my '07 ultra. I gained 32hp on my '06 dyna widfe glide, only 19hp on my '05 electra glide, and 40hp on my shovel yes the baffles can be removed, which makes them louder, but at the same time it causes to major problems.

But at least it will be loud. Or you could buy the overpriced Screamin Chicken exhaust and gain 3 HP if your lucky. Or trade it in for a Victory and more than double your current HP.

Whether taking any of that off would be a good idea is a different question. You can remove everything back to and including the headers.
