I had removed the baffles on my Harley, but ended up putting them back in
because it seemed like I lost horsepower.  It also had a tinny type of
sound with them out.  

From what I was told, if you change your pipes or do anything with the
baffles - you should have your carb adjusted to work with your
configuration.  I have S&S slip-on style pipes on mine which are loud,
but won't make you go deaf.  It is deep and throaty sounding.
