is is safe to run with one baffle in and one out or should they both be the same. sounds awesome with one taken out.

I'm not 100% sure since I'm no Mechanic, But I would think having the baffles in would make for more back pressure and only using one would really change the back pressure between cylinders. IDK though this is just a bump so someone with a real answer can help.

Big Shots have a crossover pipe before the baffles. I can't see where it would HURT anything, but I'm sure someone will chime in with a comment about doing things the wrong way.

thanks for the feed back. i had both baffles out of the stock exhaust and it ran good. thinking about just taking both baffles out the big shots and just ride. do you guys think this will hurt my bike its a 06 fuel injected. i know i will loose power but would rather have the sound just dont wanna mess anything up. what do you guys think

I would say great idea to hit two tones.... I do not know, however, how that would affect the moto.
good thinking OP.

Well I'll throw it in,my Big Shots didnt have any baffles so I made some lollypops(washers welded on the end of a piece of all thread).

I dont know if its something you would wanna do,but it would help with the back pressure and sounds about the same as no baffles!
