Default Can I put big city thunder baffles in my fishtails?

I am just wondering if this is possible?&nbsp\\; They make baffles that are 1 3/4" which is the same as my fishtails.&nbsp\\; I think it might increase my power and the make the sound a bit deeper.&nbsp\\; Has anyone done this?

Did you put torque cones in at the header end? I put Khrome Werks HP drag pipe baffles in my 1 3/4" Samsons. They are only 9" long, but knocked the volume down a bit.&nbsp\\;

you can try adding some lollypops, basicly put a wing nut in your strait portion of your pipe, this will give it a bit more torque... trick my dad used to do with drag pipes
