Yes. I removed just the baffle wrap and lost noticeable bottom end from it. Re-wrapped it and all was good again. Twin cams like back pressure. If you are doing it for sound try DK customs thunder torque inserts, torque cones, or even BCT monster baffles.

You can do it, but only if you replace them with marshmallows, graham crackers and chocolate. Easier to chew, and the only good thing that comes from removing the baffles.

So I have a question here. I won't run with no baffles and I am thinking about BCT. My brother in law has them and they sound great. Just a question. Most Vance and Hines pipes have a power chamber in them. Does this power chamber provide enough back pressure or does it take the baffle too. I have never seen the power chamber so I don't know how it is or if it is anything actually.
