I'll be putting the inserts back in tomorrow.
When I had Akras fitted, I also found that the bike felt smoother and had a little more low down grunt with the baffles in.

If you find them too quiet with the baffles in, but too loud with them out, then a good compromise is to run a drill through each one of the holes in the baffle enlarging them slightly. This seemed to achieve the perfect balance between sound quality, performance and politeness for me.
