I think the baffles run around $80 for a set.
Thanks for the replies and input. Id hate to buy another set of slip ons but I think it will be worth it in the end. I'm only 31 so my ears don't mind loud pipes. I had a 2008 Fatbob with a 107 kit and V&H big Shots, so I'm pretty used to loud bikes.

I will say Tab has a great sales pitch with having multiple baffle types to satisfy different customers preferences on sound and style. Id like some different tip options but it's not too bad. I do like the overall look of the neighbor haters however.

I have had NH on my bike now for 13,500 miles (2018 RGS 9000 miles and 2019 RGS 4500 miles, swopped slip-ons over when brought new bike) and think after breaking in they sound just fine. Loudish when getting on it but still able to hear my music when cruising, best of both worlds.

BTW, sounded even better after adding a Stage 2 decattings the head pipe next to get rid of the heat and boost the exhaust tone

They aren't that loud. The Milwaukee 8 just isn't a loud engine.

I know there's piggyback units like power commanders and such, but I didn't know if there where flash tuners.

Beyond happy with my neighbor haters. Have noticed that with just the slipons n no tune it seems lacking now but tuner and a/c is on the way..n no issues with my neighbors but I do put it in second and low rpm when I get home at night from work..even have had thumbs up from cops on the streets or nice sound..live in Cali btw.

Think it's safe to say all their 4 inch pipes pretty much sound the same? I'm liking the 909 twins.

I can't give my new FP3 enough praise. Man that Milwaukee 8 runs great with just a Stage 1.

I just ordered a set for my 18 SGS. For best prices try Parts Giant or West End Motorsports

This is not a true statement, if you change the exhaust including removing the CAT your M8 will be as loud or louder than the twin cam. I have both in my garage and my 2017 with the M8 is WAY louder than the 2011 twin cam.

​​​​​I was referring to a bike that Did Not have the cat removed when I said the engine was quite.
