Default hooker exhaust

Does anybody here have the hooker slip ons? I was wondering if i could put in some different baffles that have more sound. i think they sound good but i wouldnt mind a little louder.

The big city thunder baffles will not work in the Hookers because of the megaphone design,&nbsp\\; I have the hookers on my bike and at times i wish they were a little louder too.&nbsp\\; If you set both right and left side mufflers to the Horsepower setting,&nbsp\\; They are loud as hell.&nbsp\\; But if you have them on the torque setting, They will be somewhat milder.&nbsp\\; I have my left side set to torque and right side set to Horsepower,&nbsp\\; Gives it more of a 2-1 scavenging effect.&nbsp\\; The hookers are about the most free flowing slip ons out there,&nbsp\\; If you want more volume&nbsp\\; Just try adding True duals,&nbsp\\; It will liven them up a little more

Torque setting means more backpressure and less sound,&nbsp\\; Horsepower setting means less backpressure and more sound.
Try em out,&nbsp\\; You will definitely notice the difference in the sound of your exhaust and the feel of your bike

The hookers don't have a muffler that connects to the head pipe? I bought the little 3inch piece that fits between my muffler and head pipe from BCT.

&nbsp\\;
I have my left side muffler set on full torque,&nbsp\\; and my right side muffler set on full horsepower.
&nbsp\\;
&nbsp\\;
&nbsp\\;
DRRANDALL1:&nbsp\\;&nbsp\\;&nbsp\\; Yes the hookers are just a normal slip on, But due to the megaphone design of the muffler a standard baffle cannot be used.
I was not aware that they made a baffle that would slip in between the headpipe and the muffler.
