Default V&H no baffles & torque cones Y or N???

I have an 06 stock Softaol running Vance and Hines Slash cut big shots (go to rear axle). I put torque cones in hoping to gain back low end and not make it run to lean. My question is some one else on here changed their pipes and siad was doing fine by the plug check. I lost a lot of top endd poer with the TC's and want it back. Do you think my FI will be ok without both the TC's and baffles?? I plan on buying a programmer and air cleaner set when funds allow, but don't want to mess anything up in the mean time. So number 1. can I leave the baffles out and be ok? 2. Can I take the torque cones back out and be ok? 3. can I leave both out, or do I need 1 or both???
Thanks ahead of time for anyone who can help me with my delima. I am a new guy on here but have been reading as much as I can, and no body seems to have mentioned this, that I have seen.

I agree also. A friend of mine put the torque cones in his bike and took them out a short time later.
