Back pressure

I just put on a set of Baron slip ons on my 2010 FLHTCU. Of course we all know it sounds better without the baffles. Will that be a problem for me?

You'll lose significant low-end torque.

You can pull the exhaust and install torque cones at the cylinders should help some.

I've never heard of the torque cones before - good read, where can I find out more.
I have true duals and would love to see some low end torque come back.

A search on the net will provide more source than you will want. I got mine from a local guy.

Been through this twice recently..both times had the baffles removed from the V&H pipes. The engine performed the same. Work was done by the largest Harley dealer in the states. As he said it will just pop and backfire a little if you're engine braking at all.
