Default Baffle Question

I have Wild Pig slip-on's. I've freeze plugged my left pipe so now it's a 2-1, my question is (thank's to my buddy who said, "don't you have too much back pressure now") should I cut the leftbaffle in half and us it on the right side or keep the existing full size baffle alone.

I'm figuring twice as much exhaust coming out now, so half the baffle to "even" it out as it was before. Does that make sense?

Don't cut your baffle you are only getting 20% more on the right now and it won't make that much diff.... Usally goes by rule of thumb right side 80% left 20% so, I wouldn't think it would make enought diff to count.....

YOU'LL LOSE PERFORMANCE.....

Have you noticed that most 2-into-1 exhaust are larger?? Could be a good reason for this??

Did you gain a lot of power when you changed to one pipe? You might check with some of the Fat Cat guys, they seem to indicate a pretty good jump in power.

Thanks...I'm not going to cut the baffle, just in case I want to go back to original setup...I gained some power but it's not dramatic...One day when I've got a few $$$ to drop I'll get some real pipes, but for now it's cost me less than $1 for the freeze plug and I don't think I'm hurting anything.
