I second previous review..2004 fat boy 88" stage 1 intake/filter,pc 5 fuel module,v&h big shots staggered..bike came with very loud standard baffles which bike was tuned for by fuelmotousa..went to quiet baffles..still loud but not as boomy/concussive,ran well no tuning change..bought these super q baffles right when they came out...no tuning change plugs look good,gained a few mpg..more grunt down low thru very flat torque curve..lost some top end hp as expected but said torque curve worth it...mellow sound at idle and cruise,snarls like a straight pipe when revved at decent volume level..

I have nothing to compare these baffles to since they are the only baffle I've ever used with my new short shots but they sound really good. I've heard many complaints about how the V&H short shots are just too loud which had me a little nervous but these baffles make them have a tolerable noise level. Nice low pitch rumble at idle, no louder than the wind noise at cruising speeds with a steady throttle and they scream when you goose it. According to V&H they also add some much needed back pressure over the standard and quiet baffles. The fiberglass packing is wrapped in plastic wrap for easy slip in installation, install them with the plastic wrap on and it will burn off with a heat cycle, then the packing will expand with the heat. So far I'm happy with them.

I just installed the V&H Super Q Baffles on my 2009 Softail Deluxe Big Shots Staggered pipes. I must say the sound is exactly what I had visualized. They're much quieter and a smoother ride. The deep rumble tone sounds great when you're on the throttle and down shifting. After reading reviews on the V&H Quiet Baffles about how loud they are I'm glad I purchased the Super Q Baffles.

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.

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.

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.

Write your review here. It must be at least 25 characters long. Consider whether you would recommend this product and what you like or dislike about it.Having short shots on my 103 street bob gave the perfect rumble. 3 years with no hassles until i was reported and had to go back to stock. After my bike was cleared i refused to keep the stocks on so i went searching for baffles so i could put the shots back on and not get hassled or reported for loudness again. It was V&H who told me of the super Q baffles. Dropping 6-8 DBs would make a huge difference. I found them on revzilla and after talking with dan from revzilla i decided to order them. Once received i installed the baffles and test rode the bike. V&H said my bike with standard short shots would be around 102-105 DB. Once i installed the baffles and started the bike it was as if the stocks were still on. Nice quiet sound on idle and quiet when riding so no roaring ear popping sounds. Has a loud sound that isn't the "harley sound" when opening the throttle but it has a different roar. Hard to describe the sound but i do like it. I prefer the original sound but to save being hassled id prefer the super Q baffle.

Dan was very helpful. Any questions I had he was more than happy to answer. Shipping only took 5 days to arrive here in Australia. Yes Australia. I recommend revzilla to anyone and also recommend these baffles for those that want a change from the loud original v&h sound or if they no longer want to be hassled.

5 stars to dan and revzilla, 5 to v&h for the information and the baffles and 5 stars to DHL for the quick professional shipping. ??

Installed with no problems. Lowered the volume at idle by 9db. Harder to evaluate at freeway speeds - but it seems quieter. Great service by Revzilla. Price seems a bit high for no more than what you get -- but I guess the engineering makes it worthwhile. Would buy them again.

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.

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