Default drag pipes on ironhead

i noticed my drag pipes on my ironhead got louder while riding when home i found i had lost a baffel out of 1 of my pipes so should i do a lolli pop for that pipe or for both and if i just go strait pipe how lean or rich should i go with the carb this bike has seen many hands but its still fun and loud

Best to do lollipops in both.

Lots of opinions around how exhaust systems work so i do not pay much attention to them. The need for back pressure seems to be real. I believe both should be the same. With no baffles you will lose power around 3000-4000 RPM.

my motor is not near stock, with 2 in pipes i have tried baffles, loli pops only seems to loose a little torqe down low in the rpm range this thing is a animal from about 2500 and up have yet to be aout ran up till i run out of gear lol i like the sound of the open 2 in pipes! if you liked the bafles try the loli pops and see what you think at least you can turn and adjust them somewhat
