Rinehart high-flow performance baffle
I own a 2016 Street Glide Special. I have Vance & Hines true duals with Rinehart 4-inch slip-ons. I'm considering going to the Rinehart high-flow performance baffles to get a little more sound out of my pipes. Any thoughts?

Then again, I'm also running the Rinehart headers, not mixing and matching brands.

I'm currently using 4" Rinehart's, I agree, you will lose low end torque, "call it a flat spot", from (idle to somewhere around 1,200 rpms), but will achieve a deeper sound.
It depends on what sacrifices you are willing to make to achieve your objectives.

I have rinehart full exhaust and switched to the hi-flow baffles, around town I love them, but on highway after an hour my ears bother me. Just my opinion, still not switching back to the regular baffles yet.

I have Rinehart slimline duals with 4" Rinehart mufflers, I put in the hi flo baffles about a month ago. Sound is a bit more aggressive, but not a lot, and I do notice a very slight diffference in low end power. I like them and they will stay on. If you do it, I would recommend pulling your mufflers off and tap the baffles out from the front. I wrestled for two hours trying to pull them out from the back, even after spraying lube, etc. they wouldn't budge. Tapping them out from the front was much easier.

I just picked up the Rinehart slimline duals with 4" Rinehart mufflers. Can't wait to get them installed.
