I will add a +1 to that.

Default Bct

I have the BCT Monsters in my V/H big shot stag and they are truly awesome. I noticed immediate difference in tq and the sound is loud and deep.

I read that the lower VH baffle can be a ***** to get out? If I don't like the sound can the VH baffles go back in?
I don't mind the $80 price tag but just want to return to where I am if I don't like it.
I tried a search but no luck.....
thanks!
My opinion if u wanna know what the BCT baffles sound like in the short shots is this ........
1) take the the stock baffles out of your bike and go for a ride.
2) now while your out riding imagine that u still have you low end torque, cause u lose it as soon as u lose back pressure , and take away all th decel popping.
3) also all the rappiness of running baffless pipes is gone too.

I cannot tell u what they are like compared to the stock baffles cause I never had the stock ones. But I can tell u I am 100% happy. Also it does quiet down a hair compared to straight piping it but not much.

Also if u do order them, when u receive them and open them up and look at them. U will look at them and say "really"....lol....but they do work sweet!

Recently installed them on my '11 SB with V&H Big Radius 2-2....sounds better for sure. Not louder or quiter really, just deeper and better. Easy job to install and am sure the swap back if needed would be no problem at all.
