BCT Baffles?

Anybody have experience with Big City Thunder baffles?

I have an 07' FLHP that I've been looking to get a little extra oomp out of- thing is- I'm okay with giving up a little bit of that extra oomph for a bitchin' hog sound.

I'm running Cobra true duals and a set of Kerker stouts and it has a really nice grunty growl to it- but I'm hoping something like these baffles could help that become a roar?

Input appreciated

Had them in SE II slip ons on my Street Bob, loved the deep sound, if I could find a pair of SEII's with removable baffles I would definitely put them on my RKC. On you tube you can hear them

I've heard them on the tube but I feel as if you never get the true to life sound through a recording on there, I'm really digging that deeper rumble sound and I can deal with it being on the louder side.

I like the sound my RK has now but I'm of the mind that there's room for improvement as I'm looking for just the right sound.

I do see on there that they can be put in pipes other than the SEII's though, but I am seeing a couple of those muffler sets on the bay. Don't all of them have removable baffles?

I don't think I understand what you are asking. I used the BCT baffles to quiet my bike and restore lost low end torque from oversized baffles. You want louder by adding a baffle?

As I've heard them- the BCT baffles appear to make the bike get a nice deep rumble sound to them- at least that's what I'm getting by watching these youtube videos.

As per louder- different baffles do change the amount of noise- correct? I like em' loud. If purchasing and putting these baffles into my slip ons gives them a sound similar to what I'm hearing in the videos, I'd be mostly pleased. It'll be a plus if I don't lose too much anywhere in regards to performance.

Apologies for the confusion, I even confuse myself at times.

I have the Thunder Monsters in my Softail and they kick some ***. I also had the QQ's in my Street Glide. The sound better than expected and I get compliments a lot whenever someone hears them that's into a nice deep aggressive rumble. You won't lose any power in fact you may gain some.

Thank you- I'm glad that I got a couple of responses here for this- I'm about sure I'll be looking into them.

In regards to switching baffles- would I have to re-tune my bike after the baffle swap if I don't change anything else?
