Default Exhaust too loud

2011 SuperGlide FXDC
Vance and Hines "BigShots" complete exhaust system fitted with quiet baffles.

Well it's just too loud for me...baffles or no.
Car alarms go off, children run for cover and windshield rolling up is the norm while riding.

I just don't like it anymore.I am willing to pony up the costs for a complete new system.

So now I am honing in on getting another system that hopefully is quieter.
V/H touts their "double barreled" system is quieter yet has the deep rumble.

I am looking for suggestions here.....I want to stick with a 2-2 system.

I've heard a lot of guy's on here rave about big city baffles. They may tone them down a bit to a deeper sound.

Big City Thunder is what you need. Much cheaper than a new system and gives excellent results.

If you do buy a new set up are you going to sell the V&H ?

I thought my V&H BR 2-2 was too loud and they suggested a baffle for me. In the end, I got used to it and SO FAR I've never been stopped and have ad police all around me.
