Default Rush baffle size

I'm riding a 2013 Deluxe and using rush slip ons with 2" baffles. I'm wondering if anyone has had any experience with the 2 1/2" baffles. I'm just afraid they might be too big for the 103. Would like some extra loudness but just don't want to run way too lean. Any feedback will be appreciated.
Thanks

Word on the street is the 2.5" are the way to go for deep sound but you do need a tuner to avoid decel popping.

Default rush baffles

I should have mentioned that I also am useing thunder torque inserts which has pretty much taken care of the popping on my 2" baffles. I think I would really like the sound but just don't want to fry the engine or loose low end torque.

I'm pretty sure Rush recommends a fuel controller if you use the 2.5" baffles. Your bike will run better with one either way.

Stay with the 2''s. U'll lose more low TQ by going to the 2 1/2's..

I ran Rush 2" on my bike for a few thou miles. Sounded great, then the fiberglass blew out. You want loud? Remove the baffles! Mine actually got too loud for me and I removed them, went with current set-up. While running it that way, with a better air-filter and HD tuner, I dyno'd right at 75 ponies.

I tried the 1 3/4" and 2". I stayed with the 2".It's pretty loud.To each his own but I don't see why anyone would want it any louder. I had terrible popping with both and went with Vigilante EZ-Tune. It stopped all the popping.
I see on their website they no longer support the EZ tune. That sucks!

2 1/2" sounds great. But, yep, you'll need a tuner to keep torque and avoid decal pop.
