Is it necessary to make a holding bracket for the carb deck since the stock air box will be removed. any replies appreciated.

No baffle is deep and mellow? bwhaha that is one way to describe the noise I guess... The other day, I put a set of carbs on to sync them in anticipation of a road test. I hadn't noticed but the bolt that holds a baffle in (4 into 2) fell out and I blew the baffle out when I started the bike. So much deep and mellow scared the snot out of me hehe

Let me know how it sounds too. I think I will have to keep mine baffled if I get a 4-1 pipe.

I have a 4-1 Mac on my 1000 with no baffle. Hell yeah its loud and I love it! Trying to make it sound like a Harley? Not a chance. I simply like it loud and unobstructed!! I'll think about the playing cards and tin cans if I ever get that bored.
