I love my V and H Loud! I'm not even considering quite baffles.

 

I'm a teacher so I don't want to attract too much attention.

 

Iave the "quiet baffles". While they are quieter than the open pipes, they don't quiet them down much. What they do is take a lot of the raspiness out of them and make them a lot more mellow. I think they were worth it. Check your pipes first to see if they do not have baffles. Some of them do but they are just metal cans. If you do have them, go to a bike shop and get some fiberglass muffler packing, wrap your baffles with it and reinstall. You will be surprised how much better they sound. Good luck

 

Yup, there's a baffle. There's a small screw holding it in place. They look like a shredded can. I'm going to take your advice thanks. It beats paying for them. I do have to tell you that these pipes are AWESOME! They sound GREAT! with the Barons BAK and EJK fuel jet kit the bike is really moving. It's a whole different bike with these mods on it.

 

my roadburner pipe was pretty loud when i got it, so i know what you mean. i had to make a quiet baffle for mine. now my neighbors dont hate me quite as much....hopefully.

 

I would like pipes a bit louder than the stock ones. However, I have no desire to have them "Hardly Davidson" loud.

Is there something available midway between the two?

 

Let us know how much quieter it is after you wrap the baffles.

 

I recently installed the Barons' BAK, V&H Fuel Pak and V&H Twin Slash Staggerds. Great performance, though I agree the pipes are way too loud. Today I ordered the quiet baffles and will install shortly when they arrive.

Miketodd - It could be interesting to compare sound results since we have mostly the same mods but taking different approaches to reducing decibels.

 

They really aren't so loud when idling. I'm a little hesitant to wrap the baffle in fiberglass. Fiberglass fibers getting blown out the back makes me think someone behind me on a bike will be sucking up that stuff. I may opt for the quiet baffles as well. I'm broke; I can't even pay attention.

 

I have loud pipes too Mike - and I love the noise.
But just be wary if you are planning a long run, say, for an hour or more on the freeway.
My cobras at full song can make my ears ring after a long open ride.
Little foam bullets in the ears fixes that

 

How'd you like tyhe mustang seats? Thinking of replacing my stock...

 

I finally got the quiet baffles installed and had a good day to ride and test them. My experience is that they are well worth the money (~$90 for the pair). The ride is quieter and they greatly reduced the backfiring.

 

The quiet baffles worked huge wonders for me. If you want, I can take a video ad decibel reading tomorrow.

Hey Spleeks - did you ever get around to taking any decible readings? I'm looking into the V&H and definitely would want the quiet baffles...I just got a set of Hardkrome American Classic II's and immediately took them off after blowing out the neighborhoods eardrums haha. To me, a good exhaust is "a little louder and throatier than stock, but not much"

 

I have the twin slash staggered with the quite baffles and have also installed the smart parts hardcore baffles. The take the noise down a notch but keep a nice exhaust note. you can ride all day long and still hear when your finished. Worth a look if you wont them a tad quiter

 

Great info folks. Very helpful. Thanks!
