Default Question about Vance and Hines slip ons

I've recently bought a 2007 Street Glide which has Vance and Hines slip ons. I looked at VH's site and I saw that my (new) bike has the "Eliminator 400" slip ons. What I don't know is if there are quiet baffles in them, because they are a bit noisy.
Can anybody guess from the pictures?

Thanks in advance for any assistance.

I have Vance Hines Straightshots and they were too loud for me, they had a straight through baffle.

I bought quiet baffles and they had a blanking plug on the far end so that the exhaust gas does not go straight through, but around and through fibreglass matting.

Your baffle looks like the standard one that comes with the slipon that is not the quiet baffle.

Edit, you can see the active exhaust flap up inside, so baffle you have is straight through.

Edit : Edit: Actually not sure about that? Did they have active exhaust ps flaps back then?

As loud as the standard V&H baffles are, you won't get much noise reduction using quiet baffles. They lower the db level by 2 or 3, so you might not want to spend the money for a minor improvement.

Agreed, I changed my standard baffles to extra quiet baffles and it is still loud.
