1 3/4 pipes... baffles or torque peak optimizer?

[section8joe]

I'm running 1 3/4 pipes and I'm wondering what I should to get peak power. In hindsight I probably should have gone with smaller pipes. Since I don't want to start over what do you think I should do? I can weld in some baffles or I was thinking or maybe buying the torque peak optimizer from 650 central. I also have a ton of bends on my pipes and I've heard that that creates back pressure.

I used a set of the torque inserts they worked well (judging by the seat of my pants and general observation).

What size pipes were you using? And you used the inserts without baffles?

1 3/4" and they were straight pipes slash cut. i ran the baffles also and they did not seem to make any difference (they were like the small ones like in this photo).

I like those torque inserts but I'm not sure they'll fit my exhaust. I cut the original exhaust about an inch post the header mount and welded the 1 3/4 pipe to the original header pipe.

I run. 1.75" stainless pipes with TPO's and EPO's and the bike runs great. I'll be running this setup on another bike I like it so much. My pipes are a bit shorter than yours however.
