Default Baffles yes or no Hooker pipes

Do you have quiet baffles or stock baffles in your hooker pipes?
I got the quiet baffles and found more TQ but lost a lot of HP on the high end. Also they sound much quieter. I dont like them so i tried the 4in long short quiet baffles for the short hookers and they seem to keep the low end TQ and give back some of the high end HP.

Thumbs up No bafs

tk, I have the Hooker T-Mkers and I run NO Baffles....I bought the pipes for the price, look and sound only, not for perf. I would like to have a 2-1 someday, when I do cams for performance...Who makes the best performing 2-1?

i dont know anyone who makes bad 2 into 1. they will give you more TQ but less HP. What you have now should give you the best HP. I found a place to download the catalog about hooker pipes and can send you a copy if you pm me your email address. I was liking the looks of the V&H but not the price
