Question Exhaust Question.

Hello. I have a 2012 Fat Bob 103ci motor.
I am getting a set of V&H Short Shots for it in a few days.
My questions are
1. What are the good baffles for loud sound and good back pressure as to not lose torque.
2. Can I run the pipes for a few weeks with out a fuel computer, and with no risk to my motor or the pipes?

Thank you in advance for your responses.

The best option is to use the baffles it comes with and add some Thunder Torque Inserts.

You will keep your sound, keep all but $25 of your money and gain 10-15% or more in your low and mid range power.

W118's would be the best fit for those pipes.
