Question BCT Monster Baffles

Has anyone played around with the location depth of these baffles? I installed them 6" from the end of the duals with the lollipop at the front. Great low rumble sound, but I haven't had a chance to test any performance change yet. Any feedback would be appreciated.

I put them in 6" from the end of the pipe with the washer facing the rear. A bro of mine has the same set-up as I do minus the bct baffles and when we dynoed the bikes I actually pulled 1 hp & 2 tq more than him. Plus they sound awesome!

Performance wise your not really going to notice 1 or 2 hp/tq, but sound yes. They do make the big radius sound better! IMHO. http://http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=F3INo0T_ABc

I'VE HAD THE STOCK V&H BAFFLES, THEIR Q-BAFFLE AND FINALLY THE BCT's AND YES THE BCT'S SOUND THE BEST. AS FAR AS PERFORMANCE, I HAVEN'T REALLY NOTICED ANY DIFFERENCE.
