V&H Twin Slash Slip-On Muffler Quiet Baffles?
I'm sure this has been discussed, but I'm not finding the info I'm looking for by searching. I recently purchased a 2007 FLHTC that appears to have a set of V&H twin slash slip-on mufflers (4" diameter round slash cut V&H slip-ons) installed. I like the sound of the bike with these mufflers, but it's just a bit loud for my taste. I'm thinking that the V&H baffle insert p/n 21892 is made for these pipes. My questions are: (1) What mod is required to install these? (2) How much effect do these inserts have on the sound of the mufflers (decibels & tone)? (3) Is there a better option than the V&H inserts?
I'm familiar with the effect the V&H quiet baffles have on the V&H straight shots, and am wondering if the V&H inserts have the same effect on the Twin Slash Slip-Ons. IMO, the quiet baffles certainly don't make the straight shots quiet, but eliminates the sharpness, & tinny sound to the exhaust while quieting them only slightly.
I'm looking to quite my pipes slightly, while eliminating the tinny sound and keeping a deep rumble.
Thanks for your help.

I had the twin slash rounds on my flhx when i bought it.I pulled the baffles out just to take a look at them and mine were not wrapped with anything.Maybe if you wrapped them it would get rid of that high tingy sound .I thought about this after i bought other slip ons .I still have the v&h so i might give it a try over the winter.

Update: I contacted Vance & Hines and they told me that I have the original version of the Twin Slash Round Slip-On's. They also stated that they don't offer a quiet baffle that fits these pipes, and suggested that I contact Big City Thunder for some custom made baffles. I won't be paying the price for custom made baffles, so I guess my quest for a reasonably inexpensive solution to quiet these pipes comes to an end. I wish the rest who are seeking a low priced solution to quiet their pipes better luck.

My Twin slash ovals do have a quiet baffle available.

Skratch, they didn't really say. We arrived at that conclusion because the pipes were put on before the bike left the showroom in 2007. I guess that time frame made them the "Old Style". They don't look like the current pictures of the pipes on the V&H website. It looks to me like all of the new pipes have a 2nd piece that's smaller in diameter sticking out in the back of their pipe.
Here is a picture looking straight into the back of one of my pipes. View of my pipe from the back Hope this helps.
