Default V/H baffles

Help Please
I ride a 07 Deluxe with V/H Bigshot Staggered stage 2 kit. the baffles were removed by request upon delivery and lost. Tired of the loud noise and neighbors complaints now. (10, 000 mi later). I want to install baffles with the same sound or better as the orginals without giving up to much TQ or HP. Your input is needed and welcome

you can take stock baffles, or any baffles that fit, and cut them in half or wherever you want. will not lose all sound, but will still have backpreassuer. You have to have backpreassure to keep some torque and to protect your motor.

I installed the quiet baffles in my "Q" series exhaust about a month after purchasing them.&nbsp\\; Took some of the edge off and give them a more mellow, deeper rumble.&nbsp\\; I think I got them from Eastern Performance, IIRC.

Thanks everyone out there for your help. I'm going with the V/H quiet baffles. Next question. The bike was Dyno without the baffles, do I need to have the bike Dyno again when I install the baffles?

I just had the quiet baffles put in my 06 night train and the mapping on the race tuner verified. No changes required.

I wanted less noise than stock baffles on my BSS, so I got the quiet baffles but removed the packing before installing. They`re more quiet than stock, but still have some punch when I get on it.
