Default Twin Slash Slip-ons vs Big Radius

So, I installed the Twin Slash slip-ons last week and I am stunned at how loud my bike is right now. I've already gotten complaints from my neighbors.

Would the big radius be even louder? I can't imagine how much louder they could be. The slip-ons shake the walls in my garage. My wife even commented on it.

I was thinking about buying the quiet baffles to see if that would make any difference. I went with slip ons to try to limit the excessive volume. That... didn't work out.

As i said if you have those buffles inside, pull them out it is much quieter.

Going from the standard baffles un the slipons to the competition was a huge differance, but from that to a full Bss system. no.... sounds alot better though.

Default Cant get my baffles out!!!

I have the twin slash cut slipons and I would like to pull them out and take the packing out to make them louder...but taking those 2 screws out the bottom of the pipe does nothing...I gave up...they do still sound great...just wanted a little more growl...I am not going to be beating on them...and to take them off I have to take the whole body off my trike again...anyone knows a better way let me know...donn66

I have had both and in my opinion the Big Radius is louder! Almost sounds like shortshots. Sounds badass though but def pisses a lot people off.

I have the V&H Twin Slash slip-ons and with the stock baffles there were too loud for my taste. I got the quiet baffles and I think they are perfect now.
