Default I'm baffled..

Hey guys...Have someone on local craigslist selling brand-new never used rush 4" big louie slash-down pipes (box and all) for $200.00 OBO... (I'll offer 160 and go from there) but what I need to know is what baffle to use for a bone stock 06' tc-88 (ultra)...looking for what's best for performance/engine... not worried about sound...got to be better than stock...I'm calling first thing in the morning and asking if he knows the size and hopefully will be what i need....Thanks..

I've seen on here a few times that the 2.0 or 2.25 is good, and won't need a tune. If it does, you'll know it when you ride it. I have 2.5 in mine, but I get dyno tuned to make sure it's right.

I'm not familiar with the big louie but the regular slip ons the larger diameter the baffle, the deeper the tone. I like the 2.5" baffle (sounds like rineharts) where the 2" sounds kind of 'tinny' imo

Remove them all together and instead, install the Big City Thunder performance baffle just inside (a couple inches) of the exit of the header pipe. I have this set up with 3.5" Rineharts and really like it, catless header (stock), runs great with the PCV and a good map download. Good Luck.
Did I mention the sound? It'll get you attention on the highway with the yo yo's out there texting boyfriend, girlfriend, whoever....

also the larger the baffle the more back pressure you lose so keep that in mind.
