I can absolutely 100% tell you that this mod not only works but it makes the note perfect. Nice and thumpy at idle, just loud enough to hear the engine while riding, it's perfect. A+
@@RemboUSMC Curious if you made any videos of it on the road/high rev before you totaled it? I'm going to try this, have a set of slipon if I don't like it lol.
@@RemboUSMC No problem, I did it tonight on my scouty sixty and THANK YOU. Sounds like a motorcycle now and saved me $400. Downside is I have to wait before I hammer it in the mornings now, girlfriend is going to kill me if I do lol.
I did the same thing. This did not change the performance or gas mileage. This made it a tad louder but much deeper sound. Now you can hear the rumble when cruising. Very easy to do.
Just did this to mine. Sounds much better and deeper. Thanks Rembo. FYI if the bike is 2020 model like mine, the diameter is 1 Inch (25 mm) , not 1 1/4 (32 mm) like Rembo's...
Thanks for this , I’m going to try it on my scout rogue tomorrow! Indian were trying to up sell me a Vance and Hines but I find them too loud but this has that perfect hum and rumble !!
I had done this with my '21 scout..sounds great! Only issue i had was the hole saw came loose from the extension and got stuck in the pipe. After about 30 minutes of fishing for it with a flexible 24" mechanical pickup tool I finally pulled to saw out and then the cut baffle 🤣
Hmmmm? I like the video your bike sounds perfect!!! Nice rumble deep tones but not driving neighbors insane! Exactly the sound I want on my Bobber ty sir!
Ordered my Scout Bobber 20 a few weeks ago. Can’t wait to get it in. May have to try this since I live in California and none of the exhausts I want will ship here.
I have a scout bobber too and next to my husbands dark horse mine sounds like a dang sewing machine 😂 lol I’ve been researching options to give it some edge since it looks so cool 😎 but sounds lame stock. 😅 I love it though, I’m a new rider and it’s my first bike so I’ll always love it. I did upgrade the seat right away. 😌 thanks for making the video, I’ll share the idea to see if it’s an option for me. 👍🏻
Thank you for a very entertaining and informative video. I called my Indian dealership. To ask them if removing the baffles off the exhaust pipes can void my warranty. The service manager said that it will void the warranty. So maybe I will wait.
But they still look like massive potato cannons. I went with the V&H Slashcuts, and yes, they were harsh. I added the quiet baffles and I am very pleased.
hey man nice one but you forgot something really important: you drilled into an exhaust pipe which creates metal dust that can travel back to the engine and cause lots of problems for you and the people who are copying you. I know you made a disclaimer but you should at least disclaim that too, correct thing is to remove the whole thing and vacuum any residual metal.
Hey Rembo I was one of the Marine Corps few good men! A Navy Corpsman, haha! Just messing with ya! Anyhow I just bought a 2021 Indian Scout Bobber and Wish I would have seen this prior to giving up my 💰 for Reinhart Slip Ons!
Yer mate just found your vid today.. i did the same thing 3 days ago and it sounds sweet.. I've got a brand spanky 2020 and my baffles were in 305mm. Its hard to tell but i think mine maybe a touch louder.. keep up the good work.. cheers Nick from oz land. 👍
@@RemboUSMC also Im running standard rear shocks and i 3 full turns down on the preload so im not picking up the rubber stopper with my spine any more and lowered tyre pressure to 38 psi to smooth the ride out.. works well...
I bought the freedom 2-1 combat for my 2021.... but there are no tunes for it yet or at least that what dynojet told me so I can’t install them on yet. So this helps for now.
Isn't this basically the same mod as punching a hole with a rebar? One of the oldest exhaust modifications out there? The baffle itself is still in the bike but you just open a bigger hole for more bass.
Love it, but how I can’t stand those Torpedo looking stock exhausts lol, and how they weigh about 13 pounds each from what I’m hearing. Waiting for my 2021 jade smoke scout bobber to come in, I ordered it a week ago. Already have my new exhaust sitting in a box. Cant wait!
I certainly don't mean to be smart but I'm guessing, to check the manual. If your doing as it states, then I'd think the "Stator," which charges the battery of possibly the rectifier is bad. Google how to check the stator, usually pretty easy on a Honda Shadow anyway. Hope you the best!
Great video. I have a ‘20 Bobber w the factory 2 into 1 w intake upgrade and tune. My nephew has a ‘21 Scoutw the OEM dual exhaust - stock. He is doing the baffle mod today. We are in Miami and have Cardo Packtalk slim comm systems. Let me know if you ever want to connect for a group ride down south. Richard H.
I don’t remember. I was hit head on with that bike and it was totaled. I do know that I changed over to Michelin from the stock tires that didn’t last very long at all and I was very happy with the Michelin
@@mikelmc2509 It matters. You might not see me when you're looking down at your phone but you will hear me as long as you aren't deaf. It makes a difference fairly often. If I wanted to play the bad boy role, I'd use the V&H Slash Cuts. Those things are loud enough to sterilize your neighborhood.
Nah, still don't like that sound. I mounted a Miller slip ons, I think is a good compromise between a good and not deafening sound. I'd really like mount the Bassani tho...but I think my ears won't handle them
If you just remove the end cap with a torx key then bore out a couple of the baffles. The end result improved the sound but it still handled like the p.o.s, it is. Back to the GS for me.
When you take the caps off you'll find out Indian has welded the whole thing shut. There is no way to access the inside of the stock mufflers short of cutting them open.

I don't agree with the service manager.
How come I laughed my ass off with every "hmmmmmmm" ? 🤣🤣
What happens if you take out both does it get even louder I would imagine so has anybody done it?
The main reason I changed to my Mavrick Crusher slip ons was to get rid of the long ugly stock mufflers. Making it loud as hell was a side benefit.
The length is a serious downer. I don't know why they wanted such long slip-ons on this bike.
Personally quite frankly I'll stick with my Crusher exhaust. And if anybody needs some stock exhaust pipes for an Indian Scout I have some
man that sounds great only thing left to do is lower the idle about 100 rpm and you're solid
Freedom performance combat 2 in 1 is the way to go. Loud pipes save lives!
Got the 2 in 1 with the quiet baffle
@liljfunk21 how much of a difference does the baffling sound?
@@cautiontext to me it’s not as throaty and less of a headache on longer rides
that is a very pleasant / lumpy exhaust sound!
But they still look like massive potato cannons. I went with the V&H Slashcuts, and yes, they were harsh. I added the quiet baffles and I am very pleased.
And they weigh more than my ass does. Lol!
Thanks. I'll do that once the manufacturer warranty ends.
The newer or international models seems to have only one baffle and way futher in the exhaust (12 inches)
I don't own an Indian, yet. Watched because it's funny.
I hope you get one soon. They are awesome!

Good point. The pipe blows out so when you start it, everything comes out. This is not an intake, at which point, would be critical to clean.
Wait, wait, wait, you got the rare reverse indian with the exhaust sucking and the intake blowing.😅 Tell me you think it's front wheel drive too.

Handmo Shorty GP Slip On Exhaust for 2015-2021 Indian Scout Sixty Bobber, Heat Resistant Black Finish do they have a baffle in them?
I believe they all come with a baffle
Wondering if this works on the scout rogue sixty
Would this mess up anything on my bike? I just got it and haven’t given it’s first 500 mile service yet. Should I wait?
Depends on your dealer. Wait until after the first service to do it
Would it be easier to remove the pipes and drill upside down so the piece can fall out if you do t have a magnet?
Not in my opinion but it is another method
Thanks for the info, too quite for me
I understand
Imagine buying a motorcycle and its "too loud"
Yes, it happens. Sometimes it is just completely annoying to listen to.
@@RemboUSMC they'll you'll hate the 2025s boasting a 1250
For some reason, I had to pause this and go make some coleslaw.
LOL
What happens if you can’t get out one of the pieces that you drilled
It will eventually blow out
Will that work on a 2022 Chief Bobber also?
Sir what do you mean by repeat? Do you mean the second baffle? Or repeat the same to the bottom pipe?
Each slip-on
So how do u properly turn off a scout? My battery keeps clunking out.
I certainly don't mean to be smart but I'm guessing, to check the manual. If your doing as it states, then I'd think the "Stator," which charges the battery of possibly the rectifier is bad. Google how to check the stator, usually pretty easy on a Honda Shadow anyway. Hope you the best!

hello this is an amazing idea. might i ask. would you be expecting any techincal issues with this method?
I had no problems. It is just a slipon, not a full exhaust.

pull both Baffles out
Remove Fibreglass wrapping around both Baffles
Re Install.
