I want to quieten down my Shortshots even though they are fitted with the quiet bafles. Would the Khromekerks drag baffles help, are they fitted with or instead of the quiet baffles?

I did something a little different.I opened up the small holes 2 drill sizes bigger. I then wrapped them tightlywith thin sheet fiberglass,the kind that body shops use to repair f'glass bodies. p.s-if you want just a little more quiet and more bottom end power than stock baffles,try khromewerks drag pipe baffles.

Drill a 5/8" hole in the closed/inside end of the quiet baffle...Mine are friggin' perfect! Sound way better than the "stock" baffles, IMO...Install is easy - just don't plan on removing them quickly, as the fiber glass expands and gets stuck in there...

Yes, I got them in. They are much deeper than stock. Don't know if I'm quite sold on them yet. SOmetimes, I like to be a bit obnoxious on the bike.

Give 'em some miles to "break-in" -- took a few hundred miles to get sorta "obnoxious" in a good way IMO, and then they really livened up after I got the bike dyno'd. Think the tuner must've blown out all the fiberglass in the runs up to max rpm!
