Yet another exhaust question

Purchased a 2005 Deluxe (carb) last Spring and I'm ready to start making some mods. I have decided to replace the exhaust with Samson true duals. I'm looking at the 33" longtails. Not sure if I should go with baffles or not. What are your thoughts?

Without baffles it will be loud and you will have a loss of low end torque.

Samson's baffled fishtails have non removable baffles so if youa re not sure get no baffles and you can always add baffles if you like.

I've got'em with baffles and they are plenty loud, you don't want your ears to bleed. A friend had straight fish tails on his Electra Glide Classic and they had a sharp obnoxious crack to them! You had to stay at least 100 feet behind him or ride in front.
