I wouldn't recommend removing them entirely. You'll need something in there. Personally, I have the straightshots too and I replaced my baffles with the quiet baffles. Gives the sound a deeper, throatier sound and takes away some of the tinny sound on those long rides. I like it MUCH better now. You'll lose some power if you remove the baffles entirely.

i dont have any in mine. "blew one out and had to remove the other" you will loose power plus you will get back pressure and back fires alot. hopefully i can get some big city thunders one of these days $$$$$$$$

Thats hard to say, but I can tell you one thing tho. I was able to tune my drag pipes spot on once I put the BCT's in.
