Help with D&D baffle choice??

Just bought a 2013 CVO Ultra, just gonna install a D&D Boss Fatcat and leave the rest of the 110 stock! I do not want a super loud baffle but still want it to sound nice, I have narrowed it down to the louvered wrapped or the perforated wrapped? What do you guys say that have heard both?
Thank you, steve

I have the perforated wrapped and it sounds great. However the D&D is not the quietest exhaust but not the loudest either.

Perforated wrapped is quieter at idle but also a bit deeper. They are both pretty loud when you get on them.

I put the same exhaust on my CVO Ultra in March. Initially I put (or I should say that is what was ordered) the perforated baffle in. If you look at the D&D website, they will tell you that is their loudest baffle...and trust me...it is loud. I pulled it and put in the wrapped perforated...which is a bit more subdued...but not that much (maybe a 5% difference)...still not exactly a quiet exhaust, but at least I don't have to run the music up an additional 2 notches to hear it now. I know there are lots of "the louder the better" but the perforated was a bit over the top for me.

They also make a louvered baffle however the website says 103's and below, and I never bothered to find out if it would work on a 110. I will say to try and be sure what you want is what you order....changing baffles in a D&D is not exactly the easiest thing I have ever done.
