Default Baffles in V&H Big Shots?
I got a set of V&H Big Shots and haven't put 'em on yet... SO my question is, should I get the baffles for them? I haven't heard any without the baffles yet, and mine aren't on yet, but I figured that they would be easier to put in before I put the pipes on... ANY SUGGESTIONS?

They are aftermarket baffles. I know a few guys here have them in their Big Shots and like them. I am going that route with mine after much debate...

Good luck

What kind of difference did you notice after installing?

The BSS have the standard baffles in them and work well. You can go with the quiet baffles for a little more low end tq and the sound will go down a bit. The pipes are one of the best for tunning capabilities also for a two into two. I have a set of Big City Thunder baffles in the garage never used by the way.

I went with the Quiet baffles. Gave me a little better throttle response in the lower end. I also drilled the heatshields where they cover up the baffle screws so I could easliy swap them out. Normally you have to take the heat shields off.

Which ones did you get? I have the Monster baffles #2003 for 1 5/8" I.D. Trying to sell them cause I didn't think they would fit in Big Radius that I ordered yesterday.
