V&H says they're available with "Competition" and "Quiet" baffles. I don't know which is standard, or if either baffle ships with them at all.

Edit: just read a thread in the exhaust section. Someone said he installed the V&H Twin Slash's on his Slim and says there's lots of exhaust popping on deceleration. He didn't mention which, if any, baffles he has installed.


Is yours popping on decel?

yes they pop. I’ve tried adjusting the decel fuel once with my power vision. Still there. It’s not so bad I feel like I have to get to correcting it right away. Next time I’m doing something to the bike I’ll adjust it some more.

i know for sure they do not come with the quiet baffles. I’m pretty sure both the quiet baffles and the competition are replacement baffles. There definitely isn’t much to them. The pipe is wide open. They sound fabulous under hard acceleration.

Thanks Gorion. Although it isn't clear from the V&H site there are actually 3 baffles; standard (what's pre-preinstalled), competition, and quiet. Assuming you have the standard baffles?

yes I have the standard baffles.

I find they’re plenty loud without being obnoxious.

One last Q, do you run a different tune via a tuner?

There's a pretty good write up by another member in the exhaust forum regarding these slip ons, and he mentioned he's using the FP3 with the quiet baffle tune. But he didn't mention anything about popping.

I appreciate your time, just trying to make an informed decision.

I've got the S&S Slash Cut Race Slip-ons on my 2019 Lowrider.
I got them on sale from JP Cycles https://www.jpcycles.com/product/305...ip-on-mufflers

Here's a short video I made for my brother to check 'em out.

They have a removable baffle they call a db reducer. I've left them in for now.

Those sound good, LR.

Only thing I don't like about those is the lack of heat shields.
