V&H exhaust question....
I installed a set of Big Shot Staggered exhaust on my new
07 Softail Custom.
Can I expect more power with the way they come OR with
the quite Baffles that V&H offers ??? I thought I read somewhere
the quite baffles added more back pressure and increased
horsepower ?? I also heard the baffles are fairly loud....which
is fine with me.....

I have big shot longs on a 07 Heritage, with the standard baffles it is VERY loud, but I did notice a bit of a hesitation off the line. I put the quiet baffles in and clearly, it does help increase the low end torque, not horsepower. There is nothing like the sound of the straight baffles, but the quiet baffles still sound nice and are louder than any SE product and many other pipes and they perform better for sure.

I added the V&H quiet baffles to my BSS about 6 months ago. I noticed a little more torque at low end and the sound became a bit more bassy. I was happy with both results. Don't think it made a difference in HP.

Has anyone removed the baffles completely? How loud are we talking? I have VH shortshots arriving this week for my 08 train, and I was planning to remove the baffles. IMHO, the louder the better.

A guy I ride with has the Long Shots without the baffles and he always rides in the back.

I loved the sound of the stock baffles, however put in the quiet just to see the difference. I believe there is a bit more torque and I love the low loud grumble it has now....just took a bit of the "crack" out of it. Love it!!!

RE: V&H exhaust question....
Frankly......most of the time I like the V&H stock pipes as they are.
but then there are the times I'd like them to be alittle quieter...hard to
imagine removing the stock baffles. Only problem is when I install
the quiet baffles...I have to pull the seat and re-program the fuel pak.
The 96 cube engine runs great with the stock set up....but I'm gonna
try the quiet baffles and see...thanks for the replys....
