Well he didn't ask about Rush pipes, he asked about BCT baffles. BTW, I run V&H Big Radius with BCT QQ's on the Std & Rush 2.0 Slip-ons on the Heritage. Both sound great. Even though the Rush's have ***** they can be quieter when needed. The V&H/BCT's are there all the time.

Could be, but I think its mainly because guys don't want to buy a whole new set of pipes when a set of baffles will do.

They will not do anything for your sound because you have that power chamber on the Big Shots.

I have them in the headpipes in front of some gutted Screaming Eagles and everybody complements me on how good it sounds. It is loud as all get out when you get on it but you can tip around neighbors and such if necessary.

I would buy them again.
