Big City Thunder baffles

Ok folks here's my question. My 2005 XL Custom has the Screaming Eagle SE II's but no baffles do to ..well stupidity on my part...hahaha!
She sounds awesome but I notice some loss on the low end, she seems to not get up and go as quickly. I have a friend who mentioned Big City Thunder baffles for my sportster might be something I would like. Have any of you had experiance with these?

Yep. Nice baffles. Well made. Expensive, ($89 if I rememer correctly) but comes with a free t-shirt. Might be more for the larger ones to fit SE pipes.

Make sure you order the correct size.

Install as packaging states. (minimum 6" from end of tip of exhaust.)

I'd take them over most others. Requires an allen screw for installing (insluded) but you may already have the hole drilled for your SE mufflers.

Like Dave said, i put them in my drag pipes and they made a world of differance. You have to have some kind of baffleing for back pressure. Open pipes loose your bottom end torque. An they were about 89 dollars.

I'm thinkin' about tryin' Dave's Lollipop fix for a little adjustable back pressure in the V&H shorties. Need a weldin' bud, though...

Trouble is - I got no low end torque issues... it's plenty snappy fer me.
