Default installed quiet baffles

Changed out my standard baffles to the quiet baffles in my V&H bigshot staggered on my night train today. I really like the sound. It seems deeper & not at all too quiet. Just the tone I was looking for. Thanks for the tips on installing. I took the pipes off, changed the baffles & crush gaskets & had them back on in about 45 min.

Does changing to quiet baffles require a new map?

BeforeI installed my quiet baffles I contacted V&H to see if I had to remap my PCIII andone of there techs said "absolutely not" Take that for what it's worth.

It didn't require a change for me. Bike got a bunch more down low and didn't seem to lose top end.

Funny - they have another a separate setting for the V&H fuel pack if you use the quiet baffles.
