Cost of the mufflers, then they over charge you for optional baffles. I pulled mine out and made a few measurements, then found $15 baffles and $8 fiberglass off Amazon instead of the $90 ea. from Vance. Buddy has exact same pipes with the quite baffles, and my bike with Amazon parts is substantially quiter for fraction of cost.

2-3 decibels is not worth the cost of the replacement baffles. What you really want is a change in the tone of the exhaust. Some quiet baffles keep that low idle rumble and they eliminate that raspy noise when you accelerate.

My quiet baffle did not go in anything like this video shows. It went in 3/4 of the way and got very stuck and it was incredibly hard to get it in the rest of the way I wound up using a rubber hammer and had a bitch of a time, twisting it just right so that the screw alignment would line up. I think that the fiberglass should be much tighter wound as the ones I got were very “puffy” which made it incredibly tight going in.

2-3 dB is nearly half as much sound pressure. These make a big difference over the standard baffle as far as noise go, but they still sound very good. I think they have a nice mellow sound to them over standards. I have a set of quiet baffles on these shorts shots in my dyna video: kzbin.info/www/bejne/oJmopKxmr8mDfqs

I have stock 2014 Harley Street glide mufflers on my Yamaha royal star venture. I think they look better than the stock, Yamaha mufflers, and they are absolutely higher quality. They are chromed and polished all the way around the muffler. but I wanna make the stock harley mufflers much quieter. They are just too loud, even though they are completely stock harley mufflers. I cannot find a perfect set of stock, Yamaha mufflers to replace my stock Yamaha mufflers that are scarred up from dragging around corners.. do any companies make baffles that I can install in my Harley mufflers to make it quieter. I have heard some Harley motorcycles that are as quiet as the old BMW airhead motorcycles were back in the 60s and 70s before BMW tried to outdo the Japanese by coming out with the K bikes in the 80s.. I have owned three Yamaha ventures since 1986, I have hundreds of thousands of miles combined on those three bikes, my first one I actually kept for 16 years, 138,000 trouble-free miles. my second Venture, I did put Harley road king mufflers on because when I bought that bike used, it had open pipes on it. I wouldn’t even ride it until I located mufflers. I could not find stock mufflers anywhere for the first few months, but I had read that Harley road king mufflers go right on, which they did when I bought them on eBay. I cannot believe how cheaply they sell those mufflers for on eBay. I got a set of takeoffs that had less than 50 miles on them since new for $40 with free shipping.. The guy shipped them to me in his Reinhart muffler box. His new mufflers came in. There are literally dozens of sets of harley mufflers at any moment on eBay for very cheap… I have even seen practically new takeoffs listed on craigslist for A six pack of beer. The guy said it doesn’t even have to be cold. so does anybody know of a company out there is making baffles to make stock harley mufflers a little less loud?

The fiberglass cloth is supposed to stay on. The plastic cellophane wrap comes off. I'm sure it would melt quickly if you left it on there. Plus there is no airflow through the plastic, so to me it makes sense the cellophane should come off while the fiberglass wrap stays.
