Big City Thunder Baffles Installed...Impression
Well my baffles came in the mail today so I went ahead and slapped them on. I went with the original monster baffles. First impressions are that the sound is a little deeper and a little louder than the V&H stock baffles. I was kind of expecting them to be louder, but they do sound good. I tried using a phone app to measure the decibles between the two, but any app that I found maxed out at 101db's, wich both the V&H and Monster baffles reached easily, so I dont know truley the difference in decible levels. Wife says its louder (with a annoying look on her face....haha).
Took it for a spin around the block, claims are that you get better performance throughout the band, but I didnt go outside the neigborhood so dont know about all of that, and honestly wouldnt be able to tell the difference anyways.
Bottom line, for under $100 its a cheap upgrade and it sounds good, would recommend.

WideGlide - similar story here - lower pitch, louder sound than from the V&H's stock. Like the sound better Power wise, it's about the same both local and hwy. Only thing was when installed, had more decel pop but I took to tuner (have PCIII) and got it all synchronized. You're right - for under $100 it was worth it.

I just installed these too in V&H stepped drags. My impression is its definitely louder than stock baffles and about 20% less loud than no baffles which was just plain obnoxious. With no baffles bike lost a significant amount of low end torque and HP, with the Thunder monsters the bike ran just like the stock baffles. Well worth it IMO.

just put a set of Monsters in my V&H long shots last night. I didn't like them at all but when I pulled back in the driveway my wifes says "NOW it sounds like it should". I stood back behind it while she revved it up and it does sound completely different from behind than from the seat. Guess I'll keep them but was sure thinking I got ripped off when I took them out of the box. Not much there for $80 but I guess they do what they claim.

Just installed the BS thunder original baffles on my 2007 Heritage with V/H Bigshot longs. I loved the sound of the original V/H Bigshot original baffles but after putting these in i wouldn't go back. Decibel rating on phone app right at pipe was around 110.
Nice low deep pitch and when you throttle it--put your ear plugs in!!
Very Nice Upgrade--but HATED dealing with those damn clamps on the Heat shields of V/H.
