Well it would appear that I can resist everything but temptation. Pulled the baffles from the cans, Very easy to do, the tang just snaps off with the flick of a small flat blade screwdriver , the baffles are held in with a large circlip which is relatively easy to remove if you have decent circlip pliers. Mine appear to be cheap nasty circlip pliers so kept slipping out before I got the clip compressed enough to remove (its large so fairly strong). ANyway after a few attempts the clips were out and the baffles were easy to pull with a light tug using some pliers.
Sound wise at idle is a lot deeper but not obnoxious , I didn't bother recording it as the mic on iPhone maxed out with baffles it wouldn't have coped with the airwave pressure increase without baffles. On the move its a lot more sporty sounding but still not obnoxious. Both my other bikes are louder and they either have original oem exhausts (ducati) or a UK BS stamped can (GSXR) though these are from an era when noise regs were a lot more relaxed (mid 90s duc, mid 80s Suzuki). Overall I'd say without baffles its probably sounds more like an 80s IL4 UJM would back in the 80s on the OEM exhaust, probably more like a Z1000 Kwaks as I recall the 80s CB(900) Hondas were still more silenced than the equivalent Kwak.
Anyway I'm glad its not obnoxiously anti social , will have to see how it ages.
