Rush baffle size

I'm riding a 2013 Deluxe and using rush slip ons with 2" baffles. I'm wondering if anyone has had any experience with the 2 1/2" baffles. I'm just afraid they might be too big for the 103. Would like some extra loudness but just don't want to run way too lean. Any feedback will be appreciated.
Thanks

rush baffles

I should have mentioned that I also am useing thunder torque inserts which has pretty much taken care of the popping on my 2" baffles. I think I would really like the sound but just don't want to fry the engine or loose low end torque.

I'm pretty sure Rush recommends a fuel controller if you use the 2.5" baffles. Your bike will run better with one either way.

I ran Rush 2" on my bike for a few thou miles. Sounded great, then the fiberglass blew out. You want loud? Remove the baffles! Mine actually got too loud for me and I removed them, went with current set-up. While running it that way, with a better air-filter and HD tuner, I dyno'd right at 75 ponies.
