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.

Asking for an opinion on this forum usually isn't a good idea. You'll get a mixed pile of responses, some genuine, some just from asshats with nothing better to do than stir the pot. In the end, it's all about what YOU prefer the sound of.

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

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!

so you basically did this. its like bct baffles. i saw someone posted a mod like this in the under 50 bucks mods thread. i have also heard a 2011 wg with big shot and no baffles on utube. it was loud. to hear and see the video of no baffles go to utube and put in 2011 wide glide big shots no baffles in the search bar and you will see it.
