They all sound great but I think I’d give a slight edge to the medium baffle because I like to listen to my music when I’m riding especially on the highway. Great video.

Love me some DBX Rinehart’s. I bought my SG with Rinehart 4” moto 45s. I liked them but wanted more sound. I then put on a Rinehart 2 into 2 header and swapped the moto 45s baffles to DBX 45s. And then swapped the end caps. Got a good tune out in and Night and day difference. I do like the Tab exhaust to. Also think Krome Works has good stuff too. Thanks for sharing

[@ootac]

Hey Rick, Another great vid! I have a 22 RGS stage 2 with a 2into2 header running Tab 50cal with Zombie baffles. I ran the Zombies before the stage 2 and they were awesome but with the stage 2 now and my wife normally on the back it was a little loud for her but she didn’t mind. Anyway, I have put my louvred baffles back in but without the wrap which seems to be a great compromise and a bit more torque as I seemed to have lost it with the straight through Zombie Baffles but I can’t find anyone that has done a sound review with this option but heaps of people ask and I’m not a KZbin recording person so I won’t do it. Just something to think about that will definitely benefit your viewers. Either way love your channel👍👍

[@HDVIBE]

Thanks Troy. I actually thought about taking the wrap off the medium baffle to see what that sounds like, as you mentioned. I appreciate the suggestion and I may do a follow up with that comparison. Thanks for your support and ride safe. 👊✌️👍

New Subscriber here. Thanks for your video. Hard to determine between the TAB Medium & Reinhardt DBX. Looking for that deep low rumble...

[@HDVIBE]

Thanks for watching, commenting and subscribing. Between the Tab medium baffle and Rinehart DBX 45 they do sound different as they Tab and Rinehart slip ons have distinctive sounds. You really can't go wrong with either. My assessment is Rinehart is a bit louder at start up and the Tab with medium baffle is a bit louder under load out on the road but gives nice deep rumble while cruising.

I had Zombie baffles on bike before I did a Stage II. It sounded great. Once I did the Stage II and dyno-tuned it, it was insanely loud, so much so that I switched to the medium baffle and did another dyno tune. It still sounds good, but is much more enjoyable when I'm cruising. It is still loud when I lay on the throttle. Granted I went from 103HP and 130TQ to 97HP and 125TQ. Still not bad for a Trike. I can pop a wheelie in first and get the front wheel "light" in 2nd and 3rd. Best part of the Medium baffle is that I can near my stereo.

2014 103 TC FLHTK. I went from Rineharts to TAB 50 cal with louvered (medium) baffles. I did remove the fiberglass material. Tab sound is second to none in my opinion. I’m tempted to do 50/50, zombie on left side and louvered in the right side to gain a little more growl.
