New here. I am getting an 09 SB and had some V&H shortshots staggered in black installed. The dealer told me I would have a better sound without the baffles, so that's what I went with. Hope I am not giving up sound or too much performance. Thanks, Brent-

 

youll lose some torque

 

That will definitely work though i got tired of the noise on long rides and ordered baffles. i still get pretty good sound without the headache and i get a little better low end torque. try them a while - you can always order baffles and they're a piece of cake to install.

 

Your dealer is a moron.

 

Those will be plenty loud with the baffles in. I would tell the dealer to leave the baffles in.

 

You're going to have more sound, I would not necessarily call it 'better sound'. You'll get tired of the headaches on longer rides and eventually want baffles of some kind back in them. Plus you will loose a seat-of-the-pants-noticable amount of torque, with no baffles.

You sure the dealers first name isn't SAL and his last name AMI = SALAMI

+3 and 4 (My wife is sitting here also...)
Better go with the std baffles or QB, you will get allot better torque and low end performance and save your eardrums in the process

 

Why??
