BCT baffles questions
I have v and h straightshots, and it seems it had more power with the se slip ons. Would the baffles help, and how do ya install them? I Also have stg 1 AC and FM Micro tuner.

The BCT will open the pipes more and reduce back pressure. They will be louder and flow far better than the V&H stockers. Will need to make changes to the micro tuner to compensate.

It will reduce back pressure more? Doesn't seem to be enough the way it is. The straightshots don't appear to have much of a baffle at all now. I was hoping to increase back pressure with the BCT's.

The BCT basically are the size of the pipe and have a small tab sticking up with a washer on them. They taper very little. I had them on some slip-ons and was very shocked at the lack of material they had. Very close to straight pipe. Another thing is the header pipe is probably a little larger than the stockers. More free flowing exhaust so you may notice a little loss in torque on the low end.

It all depends. Are you looking for a deeper tone? Or just to improve performance? If its performance you want then save your $ for cams. You will not see a big difference with just baffles.

Cams, maybe this winter, but for now I'd like to get it back to where it was with the slip ons. Just don't want to use the stock exhaust with the slip ons. I really like the looks of the straightshots.
