I'm looking for suggestions on pipes that come with baffles. I live in a townhouse development so I'd like the option of using the baffles when I'm leaving or coming home late at night, but would like something that sounds good with the baffles out for day trips. I know Vance & Hines sells baffles for their pipes and I believe Hooker does as well, but those are the only two brands I've run across in my short 10 months of owning a bike. Any other suggestions?

 

V&H Straight Shots are pretty loud with the baffles. If your neighborhood is really sensative, I'd go with something quieter. Mine doesn't care, and I've got the Straight Shots with cut down baffles.

 

Thunderheaders are at the top of the performance list and are known for their baffle design. They are pretty loud though. Just stay out of the throttle when you go through the neighborhood.

 

Believe it or not, mine was to quite with baffles, so I took them out, and they are not half as loud as my Vance & Hines was.

 

I ended up going with the Hookers because they have three levels of baffles. I'd rather them be toward the quieter side than obnoxiously loud to the neighbors. But from what RAJ says it doesn't seem like I'll have problem. On a nice day whenI'm going for a long ride and I know I'm not gonna be rolling in late at night I'll just take the baffles out for the extra volume. Thanks.
