Default Help with exhaust

Ok so I am new to the big bike thing. I have a 98 electra glide, that is fuel injected, that i just purchased. When I got it i had stage 1 kit and map with stock slip ons. My buddy that has the same year and model as I do had a set of cycle shack slip ons with performance baffles in them. My bike started decel popping and started running a little rich. It was also very quite so I removed the baffles and placed torque cones in. It sounds really good now but after a 5-7 mile ride i came back and and checked my plugs and they were no longer rich and now bright white so I know that I am lean. so what do I do to gain some sound. I am on a very fixed budget right now. so do I cut the baffles in half and remove the cones or leave them in and cut the baffle or do I get it remapped for the baffleless pipes and keep the cones. or am I stuck just pulling the cones and putting the baffles back in. Please help I know that this has been beat to death but I cant find the answers i am looking for
