Quiet baffle fatcats, Mark at D&D said it will take 1-2 weeks since each quiet baffle is made to order.

Bobby.... Talk to Steve Pool @ AMS. http://www.automotivemachine.com/harley.htm

If you're gonna replace your lifters during the build, AMS has some really good lifters too.

They're $50 more than the standard FC which comes to about $550. They're made to order so you won't find them on the website yet.

My quiet FC arrived yesterday and I installed them last night. Quieter yes, 50% quieter no. I was only able to ride down the street and back but from that I can tell there's not much difference. If I feel differently after I take her for a longer ride I'll let you all know.

I'm an electrical engineer and a 6dB increase or decrease is an approximate 50% increase or reduction in sound levels.

What kind of air cleaners are you using with the Fat Cats? I'm getting ready to finally getting around to getting rid of the stock and was wondering what you guys recommend. Thanks!

I 'm not arguing mathematics but I know what I hear. They are quieter but 50% is very unlikely, however the reduction is enough to accomplishwhat I was after.
