2019 CVO Street Glide. I would like to add a little more sound to the quiet pipes and was wondering if anyone has just removed the baffles. If so, what do you think about the sound? Should I be aware of any operational issues by doing this? Thanks.

Your exhaust system needs a certain amount of back pressure. Straight pipes will not help you. Take a look here: CVO TOURING HIGH FLOW POWER CORE 2006-2022 (https://fullsac.com/product/2006-2022-cvo-power-core/)

X3… Full Sac is a nice upgrade for additional sound.
FYI, if all stock motor and header consider the 2.5” baffles with the Tech Mat. I put the 2.25” in my ‘22 CVO, louder than stock but not by much.

Full Sac all the way! The open pipe sound is gonna be too tinny anyway & your gonna kill your back pressure which in turn is gonna kill your low end power. FullSac is in Havasu AZ and can't ship to Cali. If you want some and can't get there, let me know, I have a place in Havasu and could pic some up the next time I'm in town. Just got some (and installed) for a friends 21' CVO last trip. I'm running 2.25 no tec mat which I did soon after buying my bike and a little later I did add his head pipe when it was available and am very happy with the sound.

Aside from slowing down exhaust velocity and losing torque (sometimes referred to as back-pressure), it sounds terrible. Yes, it will be louder but to me it makes the bike sound like it's broken.

Fullsac fosho!

Removing baffles will make it louder. It will also reduce torque and make it run worse, the engine needs some back pressure.
Fullsac is the way to go.

It appears that the OP has exited stage left. ::)

Thought I would circle back and update my original post. So I did remove the baffles from my stock cans in July and rode to Sturgis. The pipes were definitely louder than stock, as you would expect. Surprisingly, the sound was not tinny at all, and in fact, had a deeper resonance than I expected. Also, there was no noticeable performance gain or loss (there was no need to put it on a dyno). I was "almost" satisfied however the sound was in my upper limits for volume and it still wasn't the real deep sound I was looking for. After some more research, I settled on the Vance & Hines Torquer 450's and put them on today. My initial reaction is....WOW!! exactly the deep bass sound and medium volume that I was looking for. Only day 1, but I'm happy with the results. Now, I have some CVO cans to sell, maybe find someone who is looking to put Fullsac baffles in it as the stock baffles have been removed (but I plan on including the stock baffles if anyone wants them).
