Quiet baffles sweetened my exhaust note right up. They should come with them and offer the cheese grater baffles as aftermarket instead of the other way around.
I HAD Vance & Hines Big Shot Staggered, but they would never quiet down. Loud, cackly, and I hated it after a good ride.
I started out with the standard baffle, then quiet baffle, then Thunder City baffles, then the Thunder City baffles used with spiral baffles, and that was the last straw. I did not want stock quiet, but a deep rumble, loud when I open it up.
I replaced them with a set of Python 2-1. Initially, too quiet. Removed the baffle, too loud, no different then the BS staggered. Then I noticed the baffles had two parts. Towards the end, there is a small part that was wrapped with fiberglass, so I removed that, and it was perfect. Not too loud, until you open the throttle. You can now have a conversation at idle, but once you give it gas, it is deep and loud rumble.
They were a piece of cake to install. I also feel a lot more torque down low using the same map that I had with the BS staggerds on the PC III.
