V&H QUIET Baffles
Looking for some opinions on installing the quiet baffles. My bike runs great and all, sounds great, but I want to tone it down a little. I have read that the back pressure increase can yield a little more torque but horse power goes down a bit. Any opinions on this?

RE: V&H QUIET Baffles
Marginal difference in my opinion. You shouldn't notice any power difference.
Noise level at idle and cruise is noticeably more mellow. Sounds better I think.
Still pretty loud when you get on the gas.
Do yourself a favor and put some safety wire around the packing. When you go to take them out to repack or put the others back in it will be much easier.
They are a real bitch to get out if you don't.

RE: V&H QUIET Baffles
how do you put the wire on the baffles Do you wrap it like a coil or single ties at ends and middle

I figure for 60 bucks, a low rumble that comes to life when the throttle is cracked will do. My bike sounds real good not but it really rocks the hood if you know what I mean. I have heard of the wire wrap deal. will 5 wraps do or more. Thanks,

I would think about four single wraps would do the trick.

Or just cut the packing off like I did... then you don't have to worry about it! 
They quieted the pipes down just enough, without sacrificing or having to hassle dealing with the packing.
