It will be louder; I found no other difference on my TG with and without the baffle

Sounds good not looking for more noise, just wasn't sure about restriction.

My trike was tuned with the quiet baffle installed, they will get a bit louder once they break in. Nice thing is that I can still communicate with my better half at speed without being obnoxious with the sound and she likes them. After 30 years of open exhausts with some baffles and our shooting practice, we both really like these exhausts. My hearing aids come out when I ride and we both use ear plugs on long rides. Save your hearing, need I say more?

I just did 600 miles with brand new 4" Jackpots w/2 inch baffles and I'd say its borderline to being too loud, never thought I'd say it...Its ok at speed cruising, but when going up through the gears or sitting in traffic its a bit much, I dunno if I'll go with the quiet baffles, but I will if it gets much louder, 600 miles I figure is close to broken in but who knows...I seriously doubt the quiet baffles "hold back" any power except maybe at top end...
