Default Lollipops?

Would installing lollipops on my big radius 2-2 have any effect on the torque curve or low end power? I have the stock baffles installed. Are they only effective on open drag pipes?

Ive got big shots staggered and they didn't have baffles in them. It was really soft low end. I put the lollipops in and it was night and day difference!!

It's a device such as a washer welded to a threaded rod then mounted in the exhaust pipe to introduce some backpressure into the exhaust system in an effort to control exhaust pulses, and allow the engine to breathe properly in normal driving conditions.
DKCustoms (a sponsor in here) makes an excellent, inexpensive iteration of the concept.

cool, thanks for the honest answer. I have V&H slip-ons on my superglide. I am wanting to remove my baffles for a little more sound, but when I tried to remove them I got a little dec. popping. Would these cure that and keep the sound?

They may, you could also look into thunder mountain baffles.
I have no affiliation with them, just heard good things. Granted that route is a bit more expensive than a 1/4 20 bolt with a washer welded the the head.
