Talking Baffles in or out????

So, my MTC cans sound great, but with baffles in, there is an annoying noise, as gasses are forced through the gap around the baffle and the end of the can, akin to a very loud reed instrument. Baffles out & the cans sound AWESOME!!! There's no weird secondary noise....
So: leave them out & risk angry plod/neighbours, or put them in & risk strange noises?? I think I have a dark hooligan side & I should seek professional advice.....

You might have a problem with your neighbours if you lived in my street.

Talking +1 Out....

I took my baffle out of the Akro after riding with it in for a couple of months.

So much better now, sounds like a proper bike! Also scares the kangaroos away.

Funnily enough I ride a bit more sedately now, as I am super conscious of the noise (remedied by using ear plugs!) and not such a hoon.

Have fun being loud!

Thanks for the answers so far - looks like it could be 90% + for leaving the baffles out!!! I do wear earplugs anyway, 'cos my lid is so bloody noisy (nice Marushin carbon job: VERY light, but wind noise is a real pain...)
Lots of horses round my neck of the woods, so have to pull clutch I guess....
