Default FatCat baffel change

running fatcat w/std baffel on my 95" injected Heritage, would like to try the quiet baffel to compare sound. Can the baffel be changed or do I have to buy a muffler w/quiet baffel?

You can change just the baffle.

valkal... just a ? is the std. baffle to loud or ?? I was thinking about a black f/c but not sure of the baffles.. Phil's done some test's and the quiet baffle works a little better,, but sound IS important to me too. If you could compare your std. baffle's to a Thunderheader (too loud,for me) or a V/H pro pipe (sounds good)..
Is it too loud at higher/freeway speeds/around town?? I don't want to regret buying the wrong baffles..I guess I could buy the quiet one try it then buy your std.
off you when I don't like it.. Thanks Steve

I FEEL YOUR ANGUISH MAN. i have made the decision and will be picking my bike up next week with the black D&D fatcats 2-1. i hope they are as loud if not a little louder than my V&H 2-1 big radius. although i did heara sound clip and i think they are a deeper sound at idle and rip pretty good a highway speed. they are definatley not as loud as thunderheaders
