Thanks for the video Josh.
Man am I glad there are no noise police over here in Cow Town !
I have 2'' drag pipes on my 2000 1200 a little over stage one,the rev sound is not that much different than yours. Its intersting to me how a Rider could be distracted by the sound of a clean running Harley its all behind you anyway. Ear Plugs ?? just cant see that.
Thanks again for the insite. JonMon www.deckmastersllc.com

OH Geez....I just placed an order for V&H Side Shots and now I'm a bit nervous about the "loudness" of the exhaust.
I currently have Screamin Eagle Exhaust tips on my bike and unfortunately they aren't loud enough for me...
Although I must admit, I like the thought of setting off car alarms when I drive by them...but mostly, I want others to know I'm nearby! LOL

Same story here as the general consensus. I have the sideshots, and put the quiet baffles in. Maybe a little quieter, but not much. What it DID do though was take the harshness out, and give it a much deeper and more rounded out tone. I think it sounds much better, more beefy, and a higher quality note. Still loud though, but not nearly as annoying.
I have the Shortshots on my Dyna and they were loud/annoying but after installing quiet baffels it was OK for me, I also put quiet baffels in the V&H True Duals on my SoftTail with same results.
So will they work for you? Only your ears can tell you that.

the stock pipes on my 2005 883 with the stock baffles in them ... right on the pipes is stamped from the factory 80 DBH .. so I am staying with the stocks ... I have neighbors at the apartment who really will not want to hear me leaving for work at 7 am in the morning ... I am sure I would be asked to leave the apartment if I rean pipes like you guys ... and I can tell you I dont' really want to listen to anotehr guys pipes at 2 AM when I am sleeping either more than a 1/2 miles away and yes our local town got tired of that &&*^* also so are not ticketing $250 for loud exhausts
