Glad to help. The quiet baffles was a freebie Dyno and I don't know if I trust it too much. Bike ran fine, but, 5 HP increase with the standard baffles, seems a bit much don't you think? They used SAE value of 3 and I think they only did 2 pulls on it (a guess based on the map number ... 002). From what I've read, thats not enough, need to let it warm up a bit more. The standard baffle Dyno used SAE 5 and I think they did 4 pulls. For the amount of money I paid for it ... they should have done 10.
When I was ordering the quiet baffles, I called V/H and they said that the standard baffles were the performance setup, not the quiet. The "feel" with the quiet seemed to have a bit more L/E torque then the standard. They also quoted some DB levels, and maybe folks can't hear it (well, I can) but the quiet were about 3 or 4 DB's quieter then standard (don't hold me to those numbers, going from memory 4 months ago).
BTW, see that you put in a new cam. Was thinking of doing that too, just a bolt in. Guess the biggest thing I'm looking for is a little more lope at idle (well, some more L/E torque would be nice too ;-) ). I understand I may get that, and it may increase the DB level a little too. Wanna share your experience?

Good luck in your cam choice. And apologies to the OP for derailing this thread...
