I don't think anyone can say for sure but there is one way to find out. How much of the baffle do you plan on cutting off?

I figured about half or so just to get it a little louder without removing the whole baffle

I modified the stock pipes after several thousand miles on my '08.

As anybody can tell you that Victory meeting in Billings in '09, they have a very distinct throaty sound.

I haven't put a fuel controller on yet, only thing i noticed was a few more exhaust pops

Everything I've ever seen or heard about our Vics, if you change ANYTHING about your intake or exhaust, you will need to have your mapping dialed in. If not, you will run real rich or super lean or some such giving you noticeable changes in your performance.

Popping and sputtering would be symptoms for sure...

Do a search but in most cases posted you need the controller when changing intake AND exhaust. I ran my '03 many miles with my front opened air intake with no problems.

There was another member on here, CJSoaringEagleNOhO, who had taken a long drill bit and just drilled through the baffles, to get a little more rumble. Of course, this is all rumor, he winked a lot. This was all done to a stock motor and he didn't upgrade any controller or mapping, etc.

I will answer to most anything by anybody from Tennnnneessee - I drilled mine out and did nothing more - increased the boom a little but not really enough to make a difference. It was a real bear to drill those out.

A friend of mine removed half of the baffle from his S1L2 and didn't add a fuel controller. He has had any problems that I'm aware of.

Did it make a big difference when half the baffles were removed (sound wise) how is it?

I removed the entire baffle and CAT Convertor from my 09 tour premium and it does seem to run rich. There is a lot of popping when I get on the throttle and the fuel mileage is not as good in town. Out on the highway it is fine. It DEFINATLEY improves the sound. I am seriously considering a fuel controll system, Power Commander or something. But all in all, I like it.

my '08 sounds like it is opening on its own and I've noticed a richer run than in the past. Time to recheck for exhaust leaks, but the pipes themselves have a deeper tone. Could be my problem with running rich...
