You need to ask of it's a euro 3 exhaust or get a pic looking into it from the back.

It's a 2018 so I assume it's a Euro 4.
I've photographed it from the rear but as usual I can't attach the photo to this bloody website.
Looking at the 2 smaller internal pipes there seems to be a small threaded hole at the end of each pipe.
I assume this means the baffles are out?

Yes that's baffles out in your picture.
 
Hello mate !, your end can is a euro3 not euro4 , you can tell the difference from euro3 is header splits in 2 going in, euro4 just 1 going in. Plus baffles are very easy to remove on euro3, it’s only 2 small rings that restrict the diameter. Regards

I've just put mine back in on my 1250 and it's made it much quieter. Too loud without for a touring bike, my ears were bleeding!

I'm with you. With them in , a nice deep note but not annoying.
 
Prefer noise of my 1250 with the baffles in. It's not particularly noisier with them out, it just has a raspier sound that I found annoying. So , baffles in for me. When you get them you can decide which you prefer.
Another strange thing I came across on first ride after fitting the akro was that I tried to accelerate out of a corner and the engine just died and no power. After a second or two it picked up again. It had never done it before or since. I had only done about 2 miles when it did it but it was quite disconcerting at the time because I was powering out of a sharp bend and it threw me off line. I assumed it might have been the injection ECU recalculating due to the new exhaust??.
So, just be wary for a few miles if you switch the baffles as it may affect the fueling??.
Or, I may just be paranoid :-)
