My Fat Cat baffle review.
T take out for what it's worth, but this is my honest opinion of the Fat Cat and a couple if it's baffles.
First let me say I was anti Fat Cat from the get go. I felt a certain sponser jept shoving it diwn people's throats. I even had a few words with them on here about it.
I bought my pipe thru my dealer.. I received the wrong baffle. I got the performance.
When first riding it, I thought this thing is loud. Then I thought this thing is fun. THIS thing is fast. Is was smoking people.
Then my quite baffle arrived and I had it installed. Sounds great. Deep Rumble to it. Not too loud. Power blows though. The concentric must really suck, which I own also but won't waste my time.
Excuse spelling errors. No spell check on phone.
Bottom line, how loud do you want it is based on your ears.quiet is for old men, performance its the ****.

What type motor do you have? I have a 96 stage 2 and was thinking Quiet Baffle, but would I be better served with the standard baffle (and is the standard baffle considered the performance baffle)?

performance baffle is the loudest of the boss D&D fat cat, next step up is the borezilla, quiet baffle is for stock, with no performance upgrades too restrictive. standard baffle is great for upgrades great power nice deep rumble and very tolerable on long rides, love mine and i think they look great

yeah you can only tell the difference by looking inside at the baffle, the concentric is the quiet, the wrapped louvered (standard) is the performance, the plain or unwrapped louvered is performance also but described as being obnoxiously loud by D&D, then if you have a big bore build you should go with the borezilla

I have been very pleased with the sound and performance from my D&D but they are loud when you are on the throttle and noticeably louder than stock pipes at an idle.
