Default 4" or 8" Baffle Question

Sorry if I'm beating a dead horse...I did search first before posting this.

I've had drag pipes in the past open & baffled using 4" long baffles,,,
what is the difference between a 4" & 8" baffle??? I'm thinking an 8" might be a little more quiter...

I just fired up my bike today,,,been buying, adding and changing things all winter,,,put on a set of Samson 1 3/4" Double Barrels 60" front pipe and 50" rear and added fishtail tips,,,fired it up and christ it's louder than a 40" set of drags...so that's the reason for my question..

Thanks,
