Why not just weld a regular nut in place of the missing one? Or, don't even weld it in. Just bolt and nut it.

It didn't even dawn on me to just secure it with a nut and bolt . See...now that's why I love this place...to point out the ridiculously obvious .

Thanks squeekie .

How do the quiet baffles sound with the throttle opened up?
I think it would work for me coming into a town or neighborhood, off throttle and have a quiet side, but have louder than stock mufflers when on it.

And wouldn't quiet baffles still be louder and free'er flowing than the stock mufflers?

I have ordered the V & H 3" slash slip-ons with quiet baffles - hoping for the best (with se intake and xied). ...Soon.

Yeah, the quiet baffles are louder than stock.

But performance suffered too much.
I will post video of my bike (above in video) with V&H standard and with Big City Thunders as soon as I get them.

If your baffels are to quiet , just punch out some of the slots , holes , to a larger size .
Easy does it , You have nothing to loose if you are planning to replace them anyway.
A step drill bit works good . Even a pair of tin snips can work . Dont deform or bend the baffels , you may get them back in ....
You can tune for power as well as sound .
Thats how we done it "back in the day"s of no money , and no internet to chase down parts.
