Today I installed My VH shortshots and PCV, wow what a difference, I love it. Everything went on smooth. I couldn't wait for my damaged heat shield and baffle to be shipped back out to me, so I just installed the original baffles that it came with and ran it without the heat shields. I have a couple questions. I ordered the quiet baffles just because I read it on here how much better they sound, will they get rid of the crackling when I decelerate? I kinda like that with the originals. Also, the pipes have some discoloring around the ports, is that normal? I know the shields will cover that up, just making sure its normal.

Thanks in advance.

 

Hey Kev its normal for the dis coloring they get pretty hot.A tuner is my next investment still not sure which route I'm going to go, leaning towards the Thundermax Auto Tune.Let us know what you think of the quiet baffles. We will have to get together and do a ride soon, I give you a call.

 

Exhaust was the best investment for my bike and yes I did use the quiet baffles

 

i just got some used short shots today, can't wait to get em put on

 

You're running this set-up with no fuel management system?

 

Did you run the stock ones to compare the quiet ones to?

 

I have the Power Vision.

 

No I didn't run the stock Vance and Hines baffles on my bike. I have listened to the stock baffles on another bike and like the sound from the quiet baffles much better.

 

Got my sportster some sbortshots with the quiet baffles and thats all i did. Huge difference, perfect sound and look. Great choice.

 

My baffles and heat shield should be here tomorrow or Thursday. I'll swap them out see. The set screws are in a bad spot too. Bad design.
