Default My stupid question for the day...

Is it okay to take the baffles out of my rush slip ons? I pulled them out to see how it would sound and I liked the sound. But a friend told me my bike would not run correctly due to a lack of back pressure so I put them back in. Is that correct? Thanks

You will lose the low end torque that the backpressure provides, if you remove the baffles.

Leave them in! It's not worth losing tq for sound! What size baffles are you running now? I think you can go up to 2 1/2".

Cut them in half. That's my secret...install the least restrictive part.
