Default Sideshots are loud!

I just finished installing my Sideshots on my bike. Man are they loud!. I think I might get the quiet baffles. Where do you get them?

mine seem to be REAL loud while riding for the first 30 minutes or so... after that, they seem to quiet down a bit at a stoplight.

but anyways, yup, they are insane!!! you can get the quiet baffles from easternperformance.com. thats who i got my pipes, and some other things from. good service.

the only issue i have with my v&h straights shots is that every now and then i pass a parked car that it's alarm sets off and scares the **** outta me. other than that i believe loud pipes saves lives!!

Ok, here's a question.... what's the difference from the 04-06 pipes to the 87-96 pipes? I see alot of sweet pipes for the newer bikes that are not available for the older bikes....
