Default which baffle to use

I want to add baffles to the fishtail exhaust on Bertha.

Anyone know which ones are better?

I'd like to quiet her down a little and add some back pressure.

When I added some to my fishtails I just got some out of Dragspecialties. I'm not sure what brand but they were made in the USA.

Did they work out ok?

I measured the ID on my pipes and it looks like 1-3/4" baffles should work.

I fitted Khrome Werks baffles to my straight through on a 1986 Softail. Delighted with results and sound.

They worked just fine. It was a little bit of a challenge to get them into the right place drilled and tapped but not real hard.
