Welcome to the forum.
Who makes the pipes? Are they victory pipes or are they Ness pipes? He makes a lot of the custom pipes for victory.
They look something like the Chaos III Exhaust that are made by Stainless Creations

Had a friend with an 07 softail that went with the Rush mufflers with the 2 1/2" baffles and pulled his hair out trying to get it to run right. Very soggy response and no bottom end. I tried to convince him to get smaller baffles but he insisted he wanted the 2 1/2" baffles that he liked the sound.
To make a long story short...
He tried the butterfly trick in the pipe and it made such a difference that he ordered the 1 1/2" baffles finally and is a happy camper now. The bike runs much better and he's happy with the performance now.
Take into consideration that with the 1 3/4" head pipes on these bikes and to add 2 1/2" baffles makes it almost a straight pipe with no back pressure.
Sometimes BIG isn't always better.:s

Ok I have determined that baffels will increase performance.
How does does one determine which baffel is best suited for optimum performance ? I can only think of 2 ways.
1)A popular performance test is a 50 mph, 200 yard roll-on: full throttle for 200 yards, starting at 50 mph
2)Dyno testing.
Is there any other way to do this ?

Still a little fuzzy on baffles..not sure how to determine which one will provide the best performance.. I will have to do more research on this one
