Just ordered the Tab bam sticks with zombie baffles
All the videos seem to have a nice sound online. Hope they are even better in person! Anyone have any first hand reviews? Eventually going to do an air intake and (for warranty sake) Harley tune down the road.

sweetglidez. I bought them last year. when I ordered them I was afraid they would be a little to loud. They are exactly what I wanted. The sales rep at TAB said a lot of customers buy the next quieter ones and come back for the zombies. I am really happy with them. A friend bought reinhart slip ons and when he heard these he said that was the sound he was looking for. I like them cause if its early I can idle out of neighborhood and not wake everyone but if I get on it there plenty loud. Only my opinion but very happy with them.I have 2017 road king with SE stage 3. Each bike may be a shade different

Just wait. You're not going to loose anything with the Zombie baffles. There's enough restriction to at the right length to eliminate the reversion without creeping in on the sound. From 4" to 2.5 and then open back up at the tip is what these are designed for. You're not going to loose torque unless you pump more air into it, so without opening up the intake, the flow will be relatively minor out of the bike. You're going to love the sound. When you're ready to do a stage 1, open up the flow at the intake, get the TAB HeadPipes, and throw a tuner on it. It'll be better than you expect if you don't expect too much besides the sound. You won't loose HP or torque just by adding slip ons. ENJOY !!!

That describes what I did. The baffled units had good depth, but not enough volume. The Zombies had more than enough volume, but not enough depth. Ended up with a full Rinehart setup to get the sound I wanted. I will say that the quality and support from TAB is top-notch. They are a local company to me, and they have a great company. The Zombies do sound really good without being too overbearing. OP, enjoy your system.
I removed the Zombie and installed the TTIs using the baffle mounting holes. WOW!!! Exactly what I was looking for.... Lots of volume with deep tone, can leave the house without waking the neighbors and the sound on extended rides at highway speed doesn't wear you out. However, if you twist the grip, everyone knows you're coming or going on a Harley.
My recipe for success and a shout out to both:

Sorry, but no video. It wouldn't sound close to the same as it does in person anyhow.
