How to Remove Baffles from Indian Scout Stock Exhaust

- In this tutorial we drill out the first layer of baffles in the exhaust of a 2017 Indian Scout. It may be difficult to hear the difference in the video, but the result is a slightly louder and deeper note from the exhaust. Drilling out the second layer of baffles will further deepen the sound.
Here are the mp3's of the before and after of the exhaust.

Dude you just saved me money - oh wait I don’t have a motorcycle
I think of myself as a “hypothetical” biker
🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣
To be fair there are tons of amazing deals on used scout 60s. If you need a starter bike then go for it.
I have plans to buy an Indian at some point and this is something I would have been looking for. Thanks a ton!
Sounds better than most replacment slip-ons.
holy shit, this is how the Indian should sound by default. finally a roar / purr. The other original reminds me of a activa scooter I used to ride.
Wow! No need for a new exhaust for a while now
Finally got my Scout and this is the first thing I did. The only thing I'd add: On my 2021 Scout, there's a lip around the circumference that extends towards the exit of the pipe. try not to drill into this. move the holesaw past this lip (jiggle it!) before you start drilling.
Did this to mine recently. Just for reference, my 2020 Bobber has 25 mm (1 inch) pipes instead of 32 mm (1 1/4 inch) opening. Make sure you check the diameter before you go and buy the saw. 👍
I have a 2022 chief and I want to do this to my baffles. It’s the 111 thunderstroke im nervous it will throw a code tho. Did it on yours?
@@lkw3695 nothing show up on the dash whatsoever. I can't say the same with the chief though.
@@lkw3695 I want to do this to my Chief Dark Horse Bobber 116... yet like you I'm a bit nervous... how did yours turn out?
@@twikiriwhi Did you end up doing it? I'm waiting delivery of a 2022 Chief Dark Horse 116 and would like to do the same but also a little nervous.
Great video! Thank you for answering all the comments, learned enough to know this will be perfect!
Just did this on my '22 scout bobber using this video as a guide! The hardest part was trying to fish out the coins afterwards, mine were stuck further inside the cut baffle opening. Took me like 20 min just to fish out the first one. I just fired up the bike and the 2nd one popped out on its own lol, so i guess that's the way to go. Bike sounds so much throatier! Probably gonna drill the inner ones too.
Do you know if you have to add the air box and flash with this? I just bought the same bike
Tell me what tools u exactly used for this?
@@dcxsin nope, this mod works perfectly fine on its own. Engine light came on for a bit the next day, but I took it into the shop and they said it’s an electric issue with the bike, the baffle drill is all good.
@@sasasasasa5633 all you need is a 1 1/4 inch holesaw, a 12 inch extension for the holesaw, and a drill, just as shown in the video. Picked up all of the tools at Home Depot.
@@capq9993 did you notice any performance differences after taking them out? I would imagine since there’s no blockages in the exhaust the bike would pull a little cleaner
I just did this mod and I sware by it 100%
There is no need to buy a slip on for this bike cause you have 3 settings that you can do, which it was designed for which is not told by the manufacturer
Cut 1 plug will give the tone of a aftermarket but the noise of a oem system. The whistle will go away and be replaced with a uneven firing order gurgle but only 5 dbs more.
Total project cost was $40 and all tools are in the same section at home depot.
Go do it!!!!
How is yours running now? I did this a month ago and now my check engine light is on...
@@bens.4385 you get that sorted out?
@@johnkaylaeddings2935 Check engine light went on and off a few times over the months but no performance issues. Got slip ons and the light hasn’t been on since.
drill 1 baffle out of the 4 ? is this what you mean ?
I think he meant the outermost pair of baffle
I too was a invisible. Then I scored this 2005 Honda Civic. We're talking cherry. Sawed off the exhaust.
Now I'm cruising the hood in this insanely loud supercar - brutal. The ladies are taking notice. sick
Lol
@@forrest2426 Schlomo -- you are the quintessential exhaust jockey rock on dude
Assuming you all of the tools, which is a small list the entire process take less than 15 min. And YES, It made a difference in sound. Now off to Home depot to return the extensions I'll never use again....2015 Scout 60. Btw
Stock Indian scouts sound like the cars from The Jetsons .......... what does it sound like with both sets of baffles out ?
I just did this in a 2023 scout rogue 60. Used a 1 1/4, it’s harder than it looks. Drill slow, try and get the hole saw past the lip just before the baffle it’ll take some reversing and forward and it getting stuck. The sound difference was VERY noticeable to me. Its a night and day difference with the deep purr, enough to keep me happy until I get the Vance and Hines, but when I heard the difference from the baffle alone I’m a bit scared of the V and H even with their quiet baffle
just got the same bike.....is it that much of a difference? I don't care about loud as much as the grumble and not sounding like a sewing machine.
I just bought vance & hines slip ons to my scout icon. Much better solution 🤭
i'd just like to ask would i be expecting any techincal issues with this method? or anything i should be doing later before riding? thanks
Nice work!
Great video, thank you for sharing.
Did you need to re-tune the bike after removing the baffles?
I would rejet the carbs to be safe
No need for one layer of baffles and the scout is fuel injected, so the computer will adjust. If you removed all baffles and added a stage one exhaust, I would certainly retune/rejet.
@@kaoticsage Indian says opening up the exhaust OR intake alone is fine without tuning. If you do BOTH, you should have it tuned.
@@retroliftsprs Probably need to tighten the chain and check the headlight fluid too.
@@BlueNovakiin well obviously
Does this void warranty?
Would removing all 4 lead to a re tune or anything? Or would i be good to go?
Good to go. Only need a tune if you change the pipes before the extension
Great video!
Wish you had this with out the background music
The exhaust audio is in the description. The video would be a little boring without it.
Make sure to use an impact drill. Save your wrist
I wonder if you can do this to the oem Indian 2into1 exhaust?
You can actually take of the end and remove the baffles completely on the 2 into 1 I believe
Has anyone removed the fiberglass packing?
will this technique work on chief bobbers
what tires are those?
There is no information that can be retrieved from a civilian from license plate numbers. It's the law. So unless you just enjoy blurring out license plates, it isn't necessary.
No one breaks the law. Because it's against the law to break the law.
No because people are shady and will take your plate and commit insurance fraud. Cover your plate.
@@vmarsfiles I still don't understand the blur of plates. I mean everyone can see your plate at all times on the road and while parked???? Why is it a thing in a picture or video?
I just bought the $89 york shorty slip on. Super loud and I don't have those ugly ass massive mufflers on the bike. They are like 14lbs a piece. Bike feels less restricted now. And if I wanna trade it in I still have the stock mufflers
Can you do the same on a chief dh ?
I just cannot imagine why they produced a bike that looks like this with that pathetic stock exhaust WIMPER. I am buying one when I can get delivery down to NZ (how longs a piece of string) I have already git the exhaust mod sorted.
Great video. Mind numbing music.
Radio shack..... nice
WHAT are the side effects of taking that thing off?
None really, other than a slightly louder and deeper sound. However, if you drill too large and cut out the Cat by accident then, you'll have a loss in power.
You know there's actually 4 baffles. Will you recommend drill all four or just the two 🤔?
@@alxemend7655 That's correct. There are 4. There isn't anything wrong with drilling out all 4.
I drilled out one from each muffler. Louder now, with low frequency rumble at idle and staccato bark when on the throttle. Sounds great! The disks blew out when I started the bike, so I did not need the magnet. 200 miles later, bike runs perfect like it always has!
Lost back pressure resulting less horsepower and torque. And eventually burned values. This is straight stupid.
actually kinda like this track, like well produced low effort track similar to some video games. what is it
Tell me the exact tools..
Can we please make it a thing where these exhaust videos don't have this shitty music tracks in the background. Great video without the music, couldn't even enjoy the sound of the bike.
Easier to just take end caps off
Pull complete Baffles out
Remove Fibreglass Wrapping,
Re Install
MUCH BETTER DEEP GROWL
( you’s can thank me later )
The end caps are just for looks , The pipes are sealed under the caps
Just wondering whether you specifically done this to Scout Bobber?
@@mogmanprince RE: I have not but I have had the end caps off , and I was disapointed when I saw that the pipes were sealed , I will drill out a baffel when I get the time
You should make a video on this
Sounds like my lawn mower
dañaras la compresion del motor... danger
Hard to believe there are still guys trolling around out there using exhaust noise trying to get people to notice them.
Its more about "Hear me before you see me". Not everyone should be driving cars you know. Its easy to buy cars but very difficult to drive them safely. Some car drivers think rear view mirror is a car beautification accessory or used for application of makeup and side view mirrors are for making the car look wider. I live in an area surrounded by South Asians (I am one as well) in Bay Area. I can assure you, if you do not give them a heart attack inducing notification by revving up, they will drive like they own the road, turn when they feel like (indicators have not been invented yet. Why tell your enemy on the road about your intention to turn) , break when they want to and speed up instead of slowing down when the traffic light turns yellow. So yeah. This louder sound is more about safety than show off. :)
@@sarmeetsingh4650 That myth has been debunked numerous times and ways.
Eve, it's funny that you're accusing other people of trolling 🤦😂
Hard to believe there is still people trolling around out there clicking on a videos they don't like to complain.
@@eveihlone2192 Still hard to believe there are women out there that need 2 lbs of makeup and boob jobs to get guys to notice them.
just take the system apart..... holy shit
It's sealed, holy shit!
Yep. Sure enough, inch and a quarter is too big for 2023. I bet a bunch of people have bought the wrong bit.
Me. I bought the wrong bit. Sigh
Only good if you like them ugly long pipes.
🤦🏽♂️🤦🏽♂️🤦🏽♂️🤦🏽♂️🤦🏽♂️🤦🏽♂️🤦🏽♂️
This is just dumb, buy a damn exhaust.
Which is just a replacement tube without baffles
hmm, $550 (cheapest) and 1.5 hours labor, or $40 and .5 hours labor?
Pretty fuckin stupid to buy when un-fucking the stock is so easy
@XIUXIU1313 No, it's not. Every exhaust has baffles unless you specifically by straight through pipes. You need the back pressure, or the motorcycle will not run correctly.
In high school I used loud exhaust noise to get attention.
Then I graduated.
Very nice information, Randy!
