Default How Quiet are V&H Quiet Baffles?

Getting ready to order the Softail true duals with the quite baffles for my xbones, but would like to find out if they are louder or not than stock of SE mufflers. (I prefer a nice but quiet rumble on my bike)

If they are louder than the SE mufflers I might as well save my $ and buy the Hard Core Baffles from Smartpartz.

Can't really tell from the YouTube vids, as you don't know which volume they used when recording.

I put the V&H Quiet Baffles in my Longshots hoping for a better sound. They made the pipes just slightly deeper and just very slightly quieter.

Thanks! What I figured ... found somewhere they lower noise level with 2 - 3 db ... not really that much, even if it's an algorithmic scale.

I put V&N quiet baffles in my slip-ons and they sound good with a lower volume.

Ended up putting in the quiet baffles and the smartpartz ones. Bike is civilized, but still has nice growl when cracking the throttle.
