Default Mixed baffle sizes

I would like some opinions on what would happen if I mixed the baffle sizes on my 2012 CVO Softail. I currently have Rush 2inch but need to quiet it down a little. The laws here in Europe are pretty strict on noise. I have 1.75inch baffles and was wondering what the impact of having one 2inch and one 1.75 inch would be. Like to here some thoughts/facts. Thanks!

I'm running them with V&H quiet baffles.
It's relative, but I had a guy tell me he was surprised at how quiet they were for short pipes.

Having had and love my Rush 2'' for 5ys now I am not sure if it'd make much difference to use difference size baffs.

Thinking the sound tracks I've heard the 1 3/4'ers baffles are not much quieter vs the 2'', I would just go ahead and install the 1 3/4's in both and be done with it.

U didn't say what if any other mods U've done..

If U just added the pipes without a High Performance A/C or a good tuner I doubt that U will need to do anything.

If U had her dyno tuned U might talk to Ur tuner about the need of a retune if U install smaller Baffs..

Also U didn't say how many miles U have on Ur pipes..
I had to ReWrap my Baffles at 16k and again at 34k because they were getting LOUD.. Call rush and they will take care of U on that..

The last time they sent me new wrap they changed the way they do it. Now they do a double wrap on the baffles instead of a single wrap and it should last a lot longer.

I'll add that they also make a 1 1/2'' baffle.. which would be even quieter.
