Hi Guys, newbie here, planning to add V&H Big Shots Long to my Deluxe. Any idea which of these baffles will be reduce decibels the most? They both make "quiet" baffles. I may just run with the baffles that the Big Shots Long normally come with and see if the sound volume is livable. Any thoughts/comments would be appreciated. Merry Christmas y'all !

 

Why would you want to reduce decibels???

 

If you're looking for quiet, I'd go with the V&H quiet baffles. Usually around $65 on Ebay. From my experience, they make your bike slightly quieter.

 

On my 2 in 2 pipes i removed the v&h baffles, installed the big city, then cut the v&h in half and installed them behind the big city.

It sounds good & is at 98 decibels to meet the current bylaw that is now being enforced

 

I have the V&H straight shots, I pulled the stockers out and used the big city thunder quiet baffles and I prefer the tone of the Big city sound. Deeper, a bit quieter and less snap to them.

I had the V & H ShortShots using the stock perforated baffles and the BCT units. Great sound - loud, but not a deafening roar.

 

Thanks guys, i appreciate the feedback!
