Default Also Baffled

I have a '95 lowrider with vance and Hines big radius, which I have removed the baffles. I have lost a little midrange by doing this and not to mention the bike is louder than hell. My question is can I install exhaust cones on the exhaust flanges to increase the back pressure and get the mid back or am I better off putting the baffles back in. I personally don't like the tangy sound (for lack of a better word) with the baffles in and as fas as I know there is nothing aftermarket I could install except for the exhaust cones.

I'm not sure how the baffles are bolted in your pipes. I have V&H BBS. on my 07 FXDWG.
Try making a set of lolly-pops. easy fix. Do a search here. Many guys use them

I drilled out the baffles with a 18 inch metal bit.

Damn it sounds nice! It was work getting through those baffles though.

And the drill bit came off at one point and i had to spend an hour fishing it out with a hanger.

OK I have installed the exaust valves and have seemed to gained back my mid. I still have a lot of decel popping. Will this lead to valve or engine problems or is it ok to run the bike like this?

Just don't use tootsie roll pops, those damn things melt easy and the world may never know how many licks it'll take.
