Wow.. Those slip-ons are loud
I put on a set of Vance and Hines Straightshots on my 07 883c and WOW.. those babies are loud. I checked out a few clips on youtube of cycles with them on and they didn't seem like they were quite that loud. Guess the people making the vids had their mics turned down. I've ordered the quiet baffels for them, so hopefully that will tame em down a bit or I might have to go back to the originals. Anyone else running the quiet baffles that might give an idea as to just how much quieter they will be.
Thanks! |

Re: Wow.. Those slip-ons are loud
Lesson learned - clips recorded on subpar microphones and played back through computer speakers do not come close to replicating the real world. Best bet is to cruise the used bike lots and ask to hear anything that catches your eye or go to some biker nights or HOG events and also keep an eye out for anyone running the type of pipes you're considering.

Re: Wow.. Those slip-ons are loud
I got the same pipes on my Dyna, And they are LOUD. But i still love`em
 V&H says the quiet baffles are only 2-3db`s quieter, nut worth the extra 50 bucks. |

I reduced the size of the "stock" baffle and inserted in front of the "QUIET" baffle and they are still LOUD. I am making "glass pack" baffles and inserting the quiet baffle in front of the glass pack baffles, reversing it. I hope it mellows the blasting. These slip on mufflers look real good on the bike.

as for the QB's they dont make them so much quieter as deeper they remove the Drag pipe rasp that they have. remember 2-3 db's on the scale is a lot more than you think as its a logarythimic not linear scale
