I have an '08 Heritage Softail with Screaming Eagle slip on mufflers. Nice mellow sound but she can't be heard when riding with other bikes. I was thinking of replacing the baffles with Thunder Monster Baffles. They offer an older version and a newer one. I'm not sure which one to increase the sound (and performance). Does anyone know how loud they are? I want to be heard; not just seen (or not seen).
Didn't know you could change out the baffles on the SEs.
According to the website the Originals are louder but you have to call to order them. I'm sure the QQs are much louder than the SEs and you'd probably be very happy with the sound and also get less attention from the noise police.

I have a set I can sell you, as I switched to true duals. You will be running pretty much straight pipes w/ a baffle just enough to add back pressure. Mine was louder than friends v&h bigshots. You will like it! PM me if interested.
My Heritage came with some SE's on it, and I can hear it fine with other bikes. May be the originals? Anyhoo, I wouldn't want them louder for my neighbor's sake. Metrics that ride with me think they're a bit loud too. I only feel like that when I see a cop and I have to go uphill.
You know, the pucker factor?
