2012 Slim Staight Pipes
I recently had the baffles removed on my softail, Is it safe to run straight pipes?

it is, if you've had the engine tuned to compensate. The twin-cam engine needs at least Some back-pressure in order to maintain power

As Sarg said you will need back pressure, especially if your not retuning.
Google drag pipe lollipops for a cheap fix for back pressure.
