Baffle size

I had a 2009 Road King & I had the Rush 3.5" slip ons with 2.25 baffle. I loved the way it sounded & received a lot of compliments on how it sounded. No longer have it due to crash/totaled. I'm now shopping bikes again & looking at used 2012-2014 Street Glides. I know they have cats in them. I plan on going with Big Louie slash downs when I purchase slip ons again. What baffle size do you recommend this time? stick with 2.25 or 2.50 to get close to same sound I had on '09. Thanks.

Tuning is usually not required but we recommend checking with your local shop/tuner for recommendations specific to your bike.

10-15 -- SB1 (previous recommendations of 2.50" and 3.00" are still valid. SB1 is a new option to simplify ordering and optimized for stock bikes)
2009 - 2.25" baffle
07-08 - 2.00" baffle
95-15 with aftermarket headers - 2.25" baffles

I have a 2014 SGS with Rush headers and big louies with 3' baffles when I first put them on I had 2 1/4" then switched to 3' for some rumble when I go to the jungle. I like the sound of the 3' better. My last bike had Rush headers and slip ons, good sound and with 65000 miles on it still looked good when I traded it in. All that said if your going to make the changes you will need to go to a stage1 kit or big sucker (something like that) and DYNO tune you will be impressed.
