Default question about big radius pipes

I got a set of the 2-2 big radius pipes for my iron. I love the way they sound. The question I have is there a different baffle I can get that will still make it sound good but might quiet it down just a little? I dont have a problem with the volume now, but when it warms up my neighbors might when I leave for work at 4:45am. Any ideas? Thanks

Leave 'em loud. It'll be a good alarm clock for them in the morning! I wake my neighbors in the summer as well....not 4:45, More like 5:45.

Wish mine were louder. Love the 2-into-2's.

Buy your neighbors earplugs.

Thanks! That's what I am thinking I am going to do. I have one more question I just thought of. Have you had any problems on leaning to the right? Do the pipes hit the ground before anything else? They do seem like they are lower.

Hope you found the quiet baffles for these.
If not, https://bigcitythunder.com makes them.
They deepen and baffle the sound just enough to make them sound perfect in my opinion
Plus they are the best looking pipes around and fit the bikes esthetics perfectly.

Also, yes they will touch the ground at a big lean to the right.
But it's usually the under surface where it's hard to see and easy to touch up.
I put my foot off the peg slightly and down to note when I'm leaning too far.
