Talking Vance & Hines Baffels

Can anyone tell me how much of a difference there is between the standard baffels and the quite baffels for the Vance & Hines pipes. I had the stock put on my 2013 XL1200. They are a little too obnoxious for me. I don't want them too quite. Just tune them down a little. Any input will be appreciated.

Then the quiet baffels will be perfect for you, i had a set, but i went back to the stock ones only becase they were a bit to quiet for me, they sounds sweet though, nice deeper sound.

Same for me it was just too quiet at idle for me the the quite baffles in. I did wrap the original baffles in that same fiberglass muffler batting that's on the quiet baffles, you can get it on Amazon. Got rid of the harsh rappp when you get on it.

I have the Vance and Hines Double Barrel Staggerds that come w/Quiet Baffles already installed on my 1200 XL and I still set off car alarms in parking lots.

I have the Vance & Hines Q-Series Double Barrel Exhaust on my XL1200 Custom, and I love them. They are still loud enough to get the attention you want, the deep sound you want but without being the obnoxious sound of the stock or straight pipes have. And, I too still set off alarms on cars.
