Default Big Radius 2-2 results with torque cones or aftermarket baffles

hey guys,,
im just throwing this out there to see what results everyone is getting modding these pipes for torque

mine were lowsy as shipped from V&H,

added smartparts baffles for a 2lb jump at 3200.. big whoop!!

5lb at 3200 increase in torque when added the torque cones, ok,,, more thean i expected

and 9 at 3000 when added together ( welded together) baffles after cones, baffles visible when looking into the tail end of the pipe,

my exhaust note got deeper too at idle and no more raspy note either.

so im wondering.. has anyone else been toying with these pipes shooting for torque??

Just curious -- do you own your own dyno or take it to get dynoed after each mod? Was the bike tuned, what other engine mods besides the pipes? And while we're at it, what bike is it, and how about posting the dyno chart so we can see the shape of the curves?

hey brother..
yah, had free access but not my own dyno, use to work with a shop that has one, they didnt know their way around a v twin and thats where i came in and in exchange, i got use of the dyno after hrs.. was nice.. but came to an end when moved on my own.... now they just send me work instead of me working "with" them...

dyno results are old, late 16 to early 2017, never printed them ( no need) but i have them on a USB drive somewhere, bike and mods are in my sig, going for a 117 and ported heads this winter so im curious if i should keep my original setup, or if anyone had any other ideas or exp with something else..

and dont think the 9lbs was free.. cost me about the same hp up top past 5k but i didnt care back then..

but looks like im going to have to trial and error again with the bigger cylinders cause everyone here is telling me im going to choke the 117
