Default Vance & Hines Twin Slash oval baffle question

I bought my bike with these slip ons on there. There is a baffle of some sort in there now. Do they come factory with a baffle and offer a quiet baffle as well, or do I already have the quiet baffle. I dont know what the quiet baffles are supposed to sound like, but the bike isnt stock quiet now. It doesnt seem piercingly loud either.

If someone happens to have a pic of the mufflers with a stock baffle (if it has one) vs the quiet baffle, I'd love to see if I can tell which I have.

V&H Twin Slash Ovals have a "mechanical baffle". There is no fiberglass to break down over time and thus your sound should not get louder over time. They do offer a quiet baffle. I never ran mine with the qb though so I can't comment on how it will affect sound. I really liked the sound of my old Ovals.

I dont hate the sound mine make either. I just was curious if it was in Quiet mode or not.

There is a quiet baffle available from V&H for Twin Slash Ovals. Part # 21911.

I put the quiet baffle in my Twin Slash Rounds. They tone the pipe down by maybe 3-5 decibels max. My opinion is that at idle, my pipes dont sound as good. At highway speed the baffles dont make much difference at all. The Twin Slash Rounds and Ovals are still gonna hit pretty hard.

Those pipes ARE NOT Twin Slash Ovals....... on the T.S.O.s the inner oval doesn't have a rounded, turned in end....and the inner oval is much closer to the outter oval...

I have found out, I think, they look more like the V&H Oval Dresser Slip-on Part # 16727

I do not believe they are the #16727 V&H Twin Slash Ovals. If you look on Youtube you will see the same pipe on an HD that the owner also calls TSO's. However, they do not match the design of the 16727. ON the V&H page you can get a pic of every muff they sell...

I have what I thought were twin slash slip-ons too but they also look like tjbennet's pipes. Great, wonder what the hell they really are...

Those are the original V&H Oval dresser mufflers part # 16727. They have dropped that muffler and now sell the Twin Slash Oval part # 16767 which is a different muffler.
