Default Baffles for my big shots

I would like to try some quieter baffles for my Vance and Hines big shots.
Any recommendations?

I recommend dumping those pipes for a 2n1.

VH sells q baffles. Dont make it much quieter, just a deeper sound and chokes the bike at higher rpm's. Had them when the bike had bss - the q baffles were a big waste of money. Others like them though.

Agreed with Kuma, but they make the quiet baffles. I think they are $30 each or so. It is the same baffle, just wrapped.

V&H actually has 2 different versions of their qb's. You have to actually call them or email them to get the quieter ones. They have the ones they sell online and then the set that comes in their Double Barrel Long Q series. You may like them better assuming you've already tried their normal ones.

But as stated above, qb's will bring down the pitch of the pipes and make them have a deeper rumble. I believe the special ones might bring the db's down a little though. Ask V&H and let us know?
