Default V&H Longshots for Fat Boy....

Just ordered a set of V&H Longshots for my 2003 Fat Boy.
When I purchased this bike used, the previous owner installed Cycle Shack slip-on's to the stock pipes, he forgot the heat shields for the mufflers leaving a section of unprotected pipe right where the passenger's foot sits on the peg. My daughter has already melted pant legs to it, and the wife has mentioned the heat on long rides.
One thing I like about the V&H Longshots is how both pipes go under the passenger foot peg relieving this problem.

To those who have these pipes....what baffle are you using, the quiet baffle, or the louder one.....?

I'm thinking quiet baffle will be sound enough.......

I have BCT Monster baffles in mine. I like VH quiet baffles better than the standard ones as they are a bit raspy.

The quiet baffles are a bit deeper sounding and about 2-3 db quieter.
