I just installed mine...at first I was like holy crap this is loud...now I love it. You get used to them really quick. Just stay off the gas around the cops. My Big Radius were illegal even with the V&H baffles...now I know they are way beyond.

Put them on a couple of weeks ago, went with the QQ series. Not quiet at all, really deep tone. Love the sound. Don't know about installing the standard ones, but I just needed to drill a small hole in the muffler body for the screw to secure the baffle. There is also an option to install part of the stock baffle (I have V&H) to lower the volume a bit.

Thanks for the info, my problems started with a post on these forums about removing the baffles from the SE slash style slipons and drilling a series of holes in them to give them the old style SE-2"s I would strongly advise NOT to do this IMHO they sounded like $hit and 3hrs of totally wasted time :-(

Same here. Had a fellow rider ask me if I changed out the cam? Sounds great.
