Default Thunder Monster Baffles!!!

I forgot just how amazing these things are. I had them in Big Radius pipes on my Road King and just dropped some in these Short Shots. Awesome!!!! They are that good. Everything their website says that they do is an understatement. These are one of the things that you don't have to try before you buy. If you like the sound of a very deep exhaust note and not all of that raspy noise then these are for you too. I would not run without them. Check out their website for more information. Very easy to install. http://www.bigcitythunder.com

I really don't see how there is a possiblity of a mixed review. The people who think they are too loud and obnoxious should be riding a Gold Wing. The power boost you get along with the not so much louder but deeper tone to me is only a positive. Just curious.....Why haven't you been able to start the bike yet? That was the first thing I did. I finished putting them in about 2:30 this morning. I actually took it around the block in shorts, no shirt, and flip flops, at 2:30 in the morning. Bet the neighbors were happy.

Ive been thinking of those for my short shots on my softail custom. Does it sound better than the short shots with the baffles are out? Did you get pn 2003 for this application?
