Answer
Hi Farley,

Q:  "...second question friends keep trying to get me to cut out the baffles if i do this will i need to adjust the carbs any if yes how..."

A:  Yes. The air-fuel mixtures will need to be adjusted to try and compensate for the damage done to the exhaust.

The processes of carburetor tuning is too difficult to explain here. Find books and articles on the subject by internet search.
