I believe its the StraightShot HS, its the full exhaust, not just the slip ons. I also have some baloney cut tips on it, which I have pointed down instead of out.
Based on this, I am now looking for a complete stock header, I will start looking on CL to see what they have available. Some times people give them a way just to get them out of the garage. Hint hint..

You might try calling these guys and see if they make a baffle for your specific Straightshots, they have baffles listed for Straightshots, http://www.smartpartz.com/vancehines.html
That looks like it will do the trick. I will have to give them a try, thanks.

when i put my SS on my 09bob I put the "quiet" baffles in immediately so no idea how loud the standard baffles are .... but i'll tell you this, dont expect the quiet ones to be quiet - they are still very loud, esp. when you get on it.
i'd definitely rather they be quieter - hate drawing that much attention to such a slow *** bike, but sometimes traffic conditions dictate a twist of the wrist to get passed the problem children .... lots of bark for not a whole helluva lot of results.
good luck on finding something quieter though - stock was the other extreme, whats the point of riding 700lbs of steel if it sounds like a metric?

I have short shots with big city thunder quiet baffles.
With the stock v&h baffles in, the pipes were too loud for my taste. With the bct baffles, they are still loud, but not as loud. I would prefer the pipes to be just a tiny bit quieter, but oh well.
I also ride with ear plugs, which helps a lot. I have ridden without them, and the wind noise is more of a concern than the pipes, and i wear a ff.

To the O/P, did you buy this bike with the long shots allready on or did you buy those and slap em on, I mean no disprespect but if I'm not mistaken longshots/shortshots are nothing more than a drag pipe. I won't bother getting into a whole another conversation on hp/torque either but I do know one thing those pipes your sporting are for folks liking noise, and not just some noise but volume, if that's not you, I would suggest save your money on baffles and start shopping for a whole new exhaust, one that will give you the sound your looking for without being just stock blaaaaaa.
