As far as people have told me with the newer FI bikes or w/e there needs to be some type of back pressure for the bike to run its absolute best...And if thats the case maybe get some smaller baffles? idk if that helps being them being smaller or what to make it louder but thats JMO...I like my 82 without the baffles of course...The Louder The Better

I have Vance and Hines long shots staggered and they are way than loud enough with the baffles in. Perhaps you might want to get full pipes.
