Default Baffles

I was wondering if you can change the baffles w/o remapping or having a Dyno done. I have a 2008 Herritage with V&H Bigshots. I had them installed at a dealer along with a Power Commander and air cleaner. A friend of mine has a 2006 Herritage which has a carburetor and V&H Short Shots. He says he installed new baffles made by Big City Thunder and they improved the sound along with a slight performance increase. He didn't do anything else when he installed the baffles.

I went with the BCT QQ's and they did everything I expected, better tone and more power. I have the T-Max with auto tune so I just let it do it's thing. I haven't heard of anybody else retuning. You won't regret buying them.
