I know that removing the inserts from the dual exhaust would may the sound tone much louder, probably more than I want. I heard that the inserts can be cut about an inch at a time to change the tone. How much of a difference does this change make in the sound of the exhaust?

Cutting back the baffles does change the tone. Easy to do with a cut-off wheel on a mini-grinder. I suggest doing it in 1/2” increments and listening to the tones after each cut. A very simple procedure.

There's an idea...
Remove the baffle and see if you like the sound and then decide if you want to cut the baffles to move in that direction.

I cut mine an inch at a time using a standard pipe cutter. Settled on the baffles with only an inch of pipe remaining... cut about 5 inches off of them.
My guess is that it reduced the noise about 25% when the baffles were in. Made the wife happy on long rides to have the short baffle in. Otherwise I rode the SS without baffles most of the time.
Now that I have the 2.5” dual rear in a boosted application I will never run baffles. This new exhaust is quiet! I believe it is quieter than the baffled 2” I was used too.
I’ll make you a deal @SlingSC. Cut an inch at a time and if you find you cut them too far and hate it... I’ll send you my new set. Cover shipping and they are yours.

Having had a 350 Honda with straight pipes when I was 19...which were very loud....loud enough the neighbors were getting ready to sign a petition against me...
I’ve matured some....
People say they like the way my pipes sound now...welter duel with stock baffles...so I’m leaving them alone...
