Baffle Question
Hi All,
I have a 97 FLHPi Road King. When I got it it had ugly drag pipes so I quickly changed them to a 2 into 1 with a short HD Muffler (not sure what it is or where I got it) I have a screaming eagle air filter and power commander. Got the mapping just right and have been happy with it for years. I am now going to change over to the original type system with duals (crossover/one on each side) I acquired a great set of fishtail mufflers (Heritage Springer type) for it and need to add baffles, any advice? I would very much like to not have to remap again. I guess what I really need to know is what type/size baffle should I put in to be close to stock or maybe even screaming eagle flow so that I can remap if need be? Do the baffles measure in inside diameter or length or both.... Thanks in advance for your help.

Still Baffled (LOL)
Thanks for the reply Akroguy,
I guess what I need to know is a good estimate of the size of baffle to make the pipes close to factory. That is the problem with maps when you have a custom build, I believe the fishtails are off of a spring softail but they do not have any baffles in them at all. Seems the baffles come in 1/4 inche intervals, I just want close to stock. I am going to install my duals, take it for a test ride and if its ok read my plugs for a final confirmation. I am thinking the 2 into 1 will be close to the same flow as the duals, especially since they are not true duals. If anyone know the inside diameter of a stock baffle the may do the trick for me. Thanks
