Did drilling the holes in the baffle make it louder? We are on 2 acres and want to keep it quiet.

Not exactly sure what "solid steel plate" we are talking about here.

2. Remove the baffle from the end of the exhaust pipe , drill a few 1/4 inch holes in the solid steel plate on the inside end and reinstall it in bike , Now it will breathe a little better and you will still have a quiet bike
