Default Big City Thunder Baffles...??

I was just curious if anyone here is using the Big City Thunder Baffles? I installed a set in the V&H Big Radius pipes on my SE-Deuce, before it was dyno tuned, and the tech did say the bike sounded amazing and performed very well for a basically stock(other than the V&H pipes, and SE intake w/K&N AC) SE 95" engine( 94hp/99tq).

I am running Rinehart TD's on my 08' Street Glide, and they are just at the point where they are loud enough, and I dont know how I would feel about making them any louder (unless I upgrade the audio system ASAP). So I would also be very interested in anyone running these pipes who has installed a set of the BCT Baffles, and where they are on the "loud scale" in comparison to the regular Rinehart baffles. I know Rinehart also has a performance baffle, but I dont ride with anyone who is presently using them so I could get a listen.

I installed Big Cities,on my 01 Electra glide,with Vance+Hines slip on's with true duels.They felt like they took away something with the Vance+Hine's just a little too quiet.I had a pair of Samson slip on's,and changed them out.Then I could tell a big difference in the sound,and performance of my bike love um.

My Rineharts are pretty quiet at cruise and get loud with throttle, by removing the stock baffles and replacing with BCT's it will be much louder at idle and cruise... http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=0ubkys_Yu2M

I'm thinking of this same mod for my Rineharts and have a question for you: Do you know they will be louder from experience or are you just guessing? You don't offer anything more than the youtube vid that doesn't establish anything more than a great sounding bike. Would you elaborate?
My Rineharts were pretty quiet at idle as well but when I threw a bunch of compression at them they were L-O-U-D. I like to twist the throttle and don't want to alert every peace officer within a 3 mile radius when I get after it. Thanks
