This is what you're after, measure your pipe and use the DK Custom FAQ to determine what's going to fit best, a too small TTI won't give you what your're after, these are the W158's in my V&H Big Shots Staggered... and these things rock, no baffles and she sounds fantastic and runs like a raped ape

I just took out the baffles from my 2-2 radius pipes and put in big city thunder monster baffles. I would highly recommend them, great sound and got a little gain in performance where i didn't even know there was a lack of. The bike pulls a lot stronger in the mid rpm range now.

Yeah, I need to order a set of 158's cause I ordered 118's because my Samson pipes are 1 3/4" but the end, where these have to be installed is 2 1/4". I went ahead and installed them and they seem good, I wanna try the 158's though and for $30shipped, WTH...

Once you've got the baffle hole enlarged you can swap them easily and test out the W158's, I think you'll like them. The hardest part with some pipes, like these Big Shot Staggered is the heat shields needs to be tweaked due to how tightly they fit around the exhaust pipe and how high up on the shields they're full coverage. I used a dremel with a cutoff wheel and some files to cut a notch in the shields for the bolt to slide in so the shields could come on and off easily, drilling a hole in the heat shields and putting the bolt on the outside would have distorted the heat shields... some days it's some assembly required

Crazy bro I did the same thing, I hade to take a notch out of my lower heat shield to get them to install properly, it's on the inside so you can't see it anyways. Yeah, it will be a simple switch out for sure
