Default Drag Slip-Ons, Fishtails, Torque Cones.

I have a 2010 Road King with Stage 1, TTS Mastertune, SE Ac and Rush 2.5 slip-ons. Looking for more sound. Anybody have or heard Samson Drag Slip-Ons. They come without baffles but you can buy some if you want. I would assume the sound would be similar to "FishTails". Running w/o baffles I was wondering if you could use Torque Cones or something like Big City Thunder in the headpipe to create the back pressure that is needed for the bike to run right. Do most Fishtails run with or without baffles? Any opinions or knowledge would be appreciated!
THX! Ride Safe!

I use the Quiet Baffles with my Vance and Hines fishtails because I didn't want the crazy loud. Although some people prefer it. If you are running any sort of baffle don't worry about torque cones. Samson does make a nice torque cone that fits in the pipe and does a good job adding backpressure. I have used some on their 2 1/4" pipes in the past. These are the ones that go near the end of the pipe, not the ones that go up at the exhaust port.
