I wouldn't run without baffles due to loss of power and tuning. I had the BR 2 into 2 with the BCT baffles on my bike at one time and it sounded great...BR tend to sound a little tinny and the BCT will give you a nice deep rumble.

I had a set of longshots that I cut the baffles in half on. It ran great and was much louder, although it will sound better with the BCT baffles in it. I could not bring myself to spend $80 for two pieces of pipe with washers welded into them. And here I am spending thousands on all kinds of other stuff now. Too funny.
