straightshots?
I'm pretty sure these pipes are straightshots, but I've been reading on here and guys are saying that the straightshots are loud, mine are decent but not as loud as I had hoped, I just bought the bike so I'm assuming the quiet baffles are in them. So my questions is, is there other baffles for these pipes, cause I have heard video's of them without baffles, and loud they are yes, but a very cheap annoying sound is what I get from the videos. Can someone help me, as most are, I'm on a very small budget.

You can probably look inside the pipe with a flash light to see if it has stock baffles, quiet baffles or nothing.. The quiet baffle is actually capped on the end and forces the air to go around the cap through some fiberglass.. the stock baffles are open in the center and just knurled (for lack of a better word) around the edges.

I currently cannot attach photo I am using blackberry, computer is down for couple days. But I have photo in profile if you like. If the quiets are in it or stock, do they make loud baffels for these pipes or is your only option running none atall.

Those are straightshots slipons. The pipes that people complain about the noise are most likely the straightshots full pipes. Im sure different baffles will help though.

I have the straightshots. When you look into the pipe you can see little fins. But there is no real obstruction in there. I can stick a broom handle all the way into the pipe up to the bend . Mine look just like yours. And, Yes, they are loud and I LOVE THEM!!!!!!!!!

Mine are definetly not LOUD, I'll have to check to see if I can stick a broom handle in them or not.
