Default Exhuast question......

Good day All, So I have a 06 Heritage with Samson cholo pipes, my question is
can I change the fishtail mufflers/baffled to non baffled and put torque cones
at the heads? My Heritage is carbureted as well not FI. I know that some people
have told me about back pressure needed but that is what the torque cones are for correct??



TIA
Memo

are you looking for more sound? i have samsons with the built in baffles, and was running lean and pinging.. added the torque cones, and they absolutely work, gave me back pressure, and bike runs fantastic now. so im now running both the baffles and cones.
bike had a 2 into 1 V&H pipe when i bought it.
no other tuning was done. bike is carbed and well built.
