2014 CVO Road King exhaust has been modded.

I bought a Dremel and the flex extension.   After about an hour of messing with it I bought a 12" drill extension and 1 1/2" metal hole saw.   I should have done that right from the start.   It removed the entire plug.  Sounds great - the same tone just a little deeper and a little louder.

Just spend the $20 to get the extension and the 1 1/2' metal hole saw.   Trust me, this works perfectly and takes about 10 minutes/side.  Thanks all!

Good deal  :2vrolijk_21:
Glad the hole saw worked and glad you are pleased.  It's always fun to do a mod that shows results without taking out a second mortgage!

Did you do the plug removal with pipes on bike or removed.? Did the plug come out  after you cut thru it with the hole saw. I'am thinking of doing this on my CVO Limited as well.

Guessing the RK has the same mufflers as the CVO Limited does.

Mufflers will need to come off so the plug can come out the inlet end even with the hole saw method.  The SE mufflers on the '14 SERK should be the same as the SE mufflers on the '14 CVO Limited.

Thats right.   Take the mufflers off, drill them out (the entire plug comes out) and then put the mufflers back on.   Done.

Just drilled out the plugs from the mufflers.. Took longer to get them off the bike than drill out the plugs.. It was so painless....Thanx for sharing this info. Started the bike and it sounds lots better.. Deeper tone than before...

This worked great on my 2013 CVO mufflers, bought the hole saw and extension (10") at Lowes for a little over $20.  The only thing I would add is to drill them out while they are still on the bike, you don't have to worry about them spinning in your hands that way.  As mentioned elsewhere took longer to take the pipes off and pull the baffles out after than the actual drilling of the baffles.  Sounds great, deeper and louder mostly under acceleration.  I was considering wild pigs or fulsacs, but I like the way they sound this way.

I have the later style with the longer diffuser on the end so my Dremel did not have the reach.  I did as Edgar did and bought the extension and used a hole saw.  Less than a minute each side to drill the end out but took longer to remove the slip on and retrieve the piece.

The international models aren't so easy te drill. Today i opened my 2014 CVO limited mufflers the Fulsac way. I used a piece of solid steel to tap uit the muffler. This is what came out.
I'm planning to drill some holes or to cut the tube
