Not to loud not to quiet.

I drive a lot on the highway, mostly above the posted speed limit. While the Quiet baffles were great riding around town once you were on the highway at 4000 rpm they would be quite loud. The Super Q baffles made the highway much more pleasant but the nice around town rumble of the Quiet baffles is now gone. It is louder then you're stock Harley exhaust but not by much. The unfortunate part is they are rather restrictive, if you have something more free flowing now you WILL notice a difference in acceleration. However if you are like me and ride your bike everyday, being able to get to where you are going without your ears ringing when you get there is a greater reward to me.

While the loss of power is disappointing it is only heavily noticeable from a full stop.

If you only drive you bike on the weekend and want that classic Harley rumble I would not recommend these.

If you love the look of your V&H exhaust but want something that won't wake the dead, I would highly recommend these.

MAKE SURE TO BUY TWO! SOLD INDIVIDUALLY!

Four stars because it is definitely quiet enough for the city. Provides a good deep tone, and gets loud when you open it up. Can't really hear them over the wind at highway speeds.

Installed them when installing the exhaust, so I can't do a before and after. Installing them off the bike probably significantly made it easier because the heat shields were off. Though you can install with the plastic wrap, removing the extra bulk the plastic wrap creating made it much easier to get the baffle in and aligned properly.

The downside, and I don't know if it's the baffles' fault or the exhaust's fault, but I feel as if there is a large reduction in power. I'm running these in short shots with a stage 1 intake. Jumping on the throttle produces more sound but lacks even the power that you get with the stock exhaust and stock intake. I assume My guess is I'll need to swap these with the quiet baffles.

Two in the pic is misleading. Now I have to order another. I know it says one, but looking at the pic, one could easily assume that it's a kit of one that contains two parts.

I would recommend this product if you wand to reduce the noise of the original baffles. Installation was easy.

My bike is Stage 5 with short shots exhaust so these baffles are no good for my bike ...

My bike kept heating up and engine cutting off and dies in the middle of traffic because my bike could not get rid of hot hair trapped inside my exhaust due to too much exhaust outlet restriction.

Hot exhaust heat and fumes are having extremely hard time trying to escape the exhaust through a 3 mm outlet ... this is disastrous for bikes that are stage 5 with short shots exhaust.

I think these baffles may be ok for a stock bike with long exhaust pipes.

I have no problem with the baffles they work as advertised so far but they came with no instructions. It would have been helpful to know that you should leave the plastic wrap on the fiberglass packing to insert the baffle. Since the entire system is Vance Hines they could also include info on how to best remove the original baffles and the recommended way to reinstall the heat shields. I figured this out by "trial and error"----frustrating! Vance Hines not helpful. This includes their video on the topic.

Revzilla is great, fast & free shipping. The V&H Super Q baffles are terrible, way to restrictive. I have a big bore kit and a stage 1 & thought I would try to quiet it down a bit, no luck, these are so restrictive my bike wouldn't run right. If you have a stage 1 bike go with the quiet baffles & not the super Q, they are quite a bit louder but your bike will still run right.

I put a set of these baffles in my V&H Shortshots Staggered. I liked the sound with the factory baffles but I live in a quiet neighborhood and I wanted to tone them down a little for the night time coming and going. These baffles really quieted the exhaust.....actually more than I wanted. Most reviews noted a reduction but usually stated it was not drastic. I don't know what the difference was in mine but the reduction is drastic. They do sound good but very different. Removal of the factory baffle and installation of the Super Q is easy. What was a pain was the fact that I had to dismount the exhaust to do it. I could not, at least on my 2016 Softail Slim, just remove the heat shields as some reviews have stated could be done. They are well made so should last. It is a pity that it could not be easier to swap them out for different times when you wanted more sound.

Wow!!! Just bought this bike and those V&H are nice and LOUD. Previous Owner, no stinking Baffles loud as HE**LL, got me some earplugs or had to have my music on 11 ears still ringing. Slipped in the Super Q Baffles tightened down the supplied screw with Loctite already on them and fired up the bike. What a wonderful difference. Has the nice rumble and thump that V&H is famous for but not the 100db that goes with it.

PS if you do get these leave the plastic film that wraps the fiberglass on the baffles it makes the install a breeze. It will melt and vaporize off first few miles and your all set.

I give Revzilla a 10+ Great website, easy purchasing experience and great shipping to the door and a page of great stickers to boot! Off to find my next upgrade and Revzilla will be where I start.
