I have a set. I find them a touch too loud. I wish I could find a set of 1.75 quiet baffles but Tab stopped making them a few years back

I have Tabs on my 2020 Heritage. Very nice, but they sounded better on my Evo Sporty.

Default Tab Mufflers

Here are a set of Tabs on my 23 Heritage. I think they look great.

Default '24 Heritage WOW

Purchased a '24 Softail Standard and 8 months later traded it for a '24 Heritage. Although the Standard was a fun bike it wasn't the bike for my 70 year old frame. I did a Stage I on the Heritage when I bought the bike and have just installed SE\Ohlins suspension front and back. Planning Stage II install this fall. This is my eighth Harley in 38 years and has definitely my favorite.

Contact TAB about the 1.75's. I'm pretty sure they have some 1,75 baffles. They don't sound the greatest, but who knows, you may like them anyway. I bought a set of 1.75's this past December from them for my 23 Street Bob and just tossed out the 1.75's a couple weeks ago before I saw your post, otherwise I would have sent them to you for shipping only. They sounded OK, but I changed them out a couple weeks ago for the 2.25's which have a much deeper tone to them. I love the 2.25's and I think everyone else does also, that's why they don't offer the 1.75's anymore. The Zombie baffles are quite loud from what I have heard. I'm now 65 and don't need to lose anymore hearing listening to the Zombies...LOL!

I've got the Zombie baffles. They're not that loud. Of course, sound is subjective.

Run in an enclosed room (dyno), the Zombies sound 1.5 - 2 X louder than the NHs. I need one set of earmuffs for the Cobra product. I have to put in my custom molded earplugs + the mickey mouse ears when tuning Zombies. The Zombies also cause one huge TQ dip, especially when combined with an S&S 475 cam.

It's only my 2nd bike ever, but when I sat on it, it was perfect - weight, balance, height, etc. With good suspension, seat, and Stage III motor, it's all that.
