Default Straightshots: Difference between std and Q baffle?

Am I correct in assuming that the std baffles in V&H Straightshots don't have any fiberglass packing?

Yes, no packing for the stock baffles.

That's what I thought. Here is why I was asking.

Standard baffles are open all the way through without fiberglass wrap.

Quiet Bafffles are not open all the way through and have fiberglass wrap.

After about 12,000 miles the fiberglass burned out on mine.

I added on to the standard baffle with a 5" piece of 2" exaust tubing, crimped the middle to 1-3/4", not so loud not too quiet.

Laughed when I read the question. I had the Straightshots for many years and ended up removing the baffles. Less restrictive and the end caps provided enough back pressure. Pretty loud though I must admit.
