Default 88" Exhuast/Baffle Size Help

Just got the dk custom outlaw 587 (if you haven't seen these, check them out-no more blow by in the TB), and a PC V. I want to use these old Samson's I have on my 03 RG, and when I measured the baffle, it looks to be 2 1/2". This seems to be too big a size to me for an 88" with only a stage 1/PC V mod.

Can I get a little feedback fellas? I'd appreciate it.

Based upon what I have read in my extensive research on the subject for my 88", I would say yes they are too big from a torque perspective.

They may sound good however if you like loud.

Sorry, no personal experience. Somebody else will chime in.
