Default Experience with RH Slip-ons, baffles

All,
My bike is currently equipped with Rinehart slip-ons with the stock HD pipes. Can anyone offer an explanation of the difference between the slip-ons and the true duals, any differences in the baffles, and info on the quiet baffles ? Reason for question is that while I'm planning on the fullsac conversion I also have a need to either lower the volume a bit or at the least keep it the same. I'm considering the "quiet" baffles from RH but would like a knowlegable opinion of what I'll end up with. Loving that craaaack!!! at startup and low rpm but tinnitus and an unhappy passenger mandate change. Thanks in advance to anyone who has some knowlege. Mark

With the HD pipes you get better torque but not that great thumper sound you get with the true duals.

The Rinehart Slip-Ons & True Duals System ARE DIFFERENT...

The True Dual set-up has a progressive sized header pipes - The exhaust system in general is Deeper & Louder then just slip-on - however you do lose a bit of lower end torque...

Rinehart Slip-On's with a Fullsac system will be a bit louder then using the OEM headers (But still not as loud as the Rinehart TD System)... Again a slight loss in lower end torque may be noticed..
