I put a set of Hardkore baffles on a previous bike. They definitely take the "crack" out a straight pipe. Not real drastic, but the claim of like 5-10 db is about right.

F-EM What's really bad is the fact that I USED to snow blow their driveway and walks EVERYTIME it snowed, give them fish all the time(I fish a lot) let them use my generator when there was a power outage(I was out too but they have a small child, I went with nothing, was for the kid though) and they actually called the police on me for having my boat on the trailer in the street not hooked up to the truck(I got a $130.00 ticket) the boat that caught the fish they USED to eat all the time! I wish I could put a stack of Marshall amps near my exhaust when I start it....................

I got a set of Pythons that are just a bit louder than I want , same pipes as V&H Big Shots. I ordered a set of quiet baffles and picked up some Hard core baffles on Craigslist for $25 , sounds like a few other posters are using this combo with good results. I'm now wondering how to map my PC 3 with this set up.

Here's the best price I found for quiet baffles , there listed for a Honda VTX but the V&H part number is for Big Shots also V21869
