Default Big City Thunder Baffles

I have a set of hooker troublemakers on my 03 night train. I have had them on it for about 4 years. They are loud (it doesn't bother me), but I am looking for a deeper sound. Has anyone used the big city thunder baffles, quiet or not. If so are they worth the money? What are your reviews? Do you get a deeper sound? Are there any other brands you guys would recommend?

I used them on my 09 when I pulled the baffles out of my Rush slip ons. I don't remember it being deeper but it did sound different. I wanted then mostly to restore back pressure.

I had quiet baffles in my Vance and Hines BSS for a while till one came apart. Not too bad of a sound and the volume was pretty much where I wanted it. Then one of them came apart causing an annoying exhaust rattle. I replaced them with Big City Thunders Quality Quiet baffles. The volume level is pretty much in the middle of the Vance and Hines quiet baffles and the stock baffles. I'm pretty pleased with the sound quality. The BCT QQ's also did a great job restoring the back pressure and torque I lost when I tried the stock baffles. I put them in the stock baffles location since I didn't want to remove my pipes in order to install the BCT QQ's in the recommended location which is six inches from the end and I'm happy with them.
