I have the quiet baffles in my V&H BSS on my night train. The tone is good, but they were a little too quiet for my taste. I took them out & removed the wrapping which helped a little without changing the tone. But, they are still not at the sound I was shooting for. I am thinking of cutting the flat solid disk that is in front of the baffles now & trying that. Anybody done this? I am thinking with the tapering in the baffle, I will still get some back preasure on the exhaust. Of course if I cut the plate & don't like it I am probably going to have to start over with a different baffle setup, probably go with big city thunder.

 

V&H pipes get louder very quickly over time. I have the "Quiet Series" Double Barrels and after a year and a half they are so loud they sound like straight pipes.

 

Yeah, give it some time if you can. My quiet baffles will set off car alarms, with a little help from my right hand. Didn't use to do that, not that I'm sad.

 

If you're going to do that, just get the other V&H baffles and install them. That way you'll have the quiet baffles in case you decide to go back to them.
