Default Remove Baffles?

I've got an 11 Street Bob with Big Radius 2 into 2's and I was wondering about removing the baffle. Wanted opinions and if possible samples of sound.
Wondering how this will change performance also. I'm guessing it will need retuned after?
How do you remove them?

Should have a bolt or an allen head sticking out. Take that bolt out and slide out baffle . You will loose bottom end.

Yup, allen head bolt and they slide right out. I've got the same pipes, and the baffles aren't very "restrictive" to begin with. I've ran it both ways, and there is a slight volume increase...not enough that made me me wanna sacrifice low end torque for a few extra decibels.

I would leave them be. Why mess with an already loud pipe to make it louder and lose power. What is your intentions or reason behind the idea?

Just wanted more sound. I was afraid of losing low end if I did it. I think I will just leave it be then if I'll lose power. I knew you all would know, and thank you!
